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.

Recommended Sync Pairs and Tactics

• #1: Cynthia (Summer 2025) & Milotic
• #2: Bede & Inteleon
• #3: May (Champion) & Kyogre

Your opponent will use their Sunburst Passive Skill or Sunny Day after using their Sync Move in order to make the weather sunny, so use Bede & Inteleon’s Rain Dance to make the weather rainy, or use May (Champion) & Kyogre’s Primordial Ocean of Myths Passive Skill to make the weather EX rainy!

Your opponent uses Passive Skills to reduce your speed, so use May (Champion) & Kyogre’s Hoenn Blessing Passive Skill to charge your Move Gauge, or use Bede & Inteleon’s Rainy Hit: Free Move Next 9 Passive Skill to gain the Free Move Next effect.
