Strategy: Training Sync Pairs

Level up your sync pairs!

Raise the level of your sync pairs to the recommended level for the battle.
To level up beyond Lv. 100, use the Unlock Level Cap menu.
To obtain the items required, head to the Cap-Unlock Area in the Training Area.

Use the sync grid effectively!

Power up your sync pairs even further via their sync grids. Simply use the Co-op Sync Orbs available in the Sync Orb Area of the Training Area.
There are various ways to upgrade your sync pairs, so choose whatever suits you.

Strategy: Forming Your Team

Unleash Theme Skills!

Create teams with sync pairs that share the same themes and target your opponents’ weaknesses.
Use Theme Skills to make your sync pairs even stronger.

Master tactics!

Switching tactics changes the order your team members are targeted.
A key strategy is to have support sync pairs with higher HP, Defense, or Sp. Def targeted first, and strike sync pairs with higher Attack or Sp. Atk targeted third.

Strategy: Battle Basics

Defeat opponents in the center last!

If you defeat an Elite Four or Champion sync pair in the center position first, the Pokémon on the left and right will unleash powerful moves.
So try to defeat the sync pair in the center position last.
Tap an opponent’s Pokémon during battle to switch between targets.

Recommended Sync Pairs and Tactics

• #1: Dawn & Torterra*
• #2: Sygna Suit Lyra & Celebi
• #3: Sonia (Special Costume) & Tsareena

Your opponent will use the Opening Blockade Passive Skill to gain the Physical Damage Reduction and Special Damage Reduction effects, so be sure to boost your critical-hit rate!

Your opponent will use Psychic Terrain right before they use their Sync Move in order to turn the field of play’s terrain into Psychic Terrain, so use Sygna Suit Lyra & Celebi’s Grassy Terrain to change the terrain to Grassy Terrain!

Steven & Claydol will use Best There Is! after using a Sync Move to apply the Critical Hit Next effect, so use Dawn & Torterra’s Vigilance Passive Skill to counteract it!
