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.

Strategy: Battle Tips

Recommended Fighting Style

• Prepare yourself for your opponent’s Ground Zone!
• Prepare for your opponent’s attempts to lower your Attack!

Recommended Sync Pairs and Tactics

• #1: Bugsy (Holiday 2024) & Kricketune
• #2: Benga & Volcarona
• #3: Arc Suit Alder & Volcarona

Your opponent will use Ground Wish after using their Down to Earth Passive Skill or their Sync Move in order to turn the field of play’s zone into a Ground Zone, so use Arc Suit Alder & Volcarona’s Almighty Sun Hyper Beam to turn the zone into a Bug Zone, or use Benga & Volcarona’s Pure Competition Passive Skill to turn the zone into an EX Bug Zone!

Your opponent will use a Passive Skill to lower your Attack, so hit them hard with special attacks like Arc Suit Alder & Volcarona’s Hyper Beam!
