You can view the basic rules for the Champion Stadium in How to play the Champion Stadium.

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: Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott
• #2: Marnie (Champion) & Moltres
• #3: Arc Suit N & Zoroark

Poppy & Bronzong use a Passive Skill to reduce the damage they take from moves and Sync Moves while they are not flinching, confused, or trapped, so use Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott’s Tricks Galore! Passive Skill to inflict those statuses on them!

Your opponents’ Metagross and Gholdengo will raise their Defense with the Sentry Entry ×2 Passive Skill, so hit them hard with special attacks!

Your opponent uses powerful Moves like Iron Head and Psychic, so use Lacey (Fall 2025) & Whimsicott’s Spinel Tera Blast to boost your Defense and Sp. Def, and use Potion to restore HP!
