A '''sync pair''' (Japanese: '''バディーズ''' ''Buddies'') is a pair consisting of one [[Pokémon Trainer]] and one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Each sync pair has one of three roles: strike sync pairs, which are focused on attacking; support sync pairs, which are focused on defending, healing {{stat|HP}}, and increasing stats of the whole team; and tech sync pairs, which are focused on different tactics, such as inflicting status alterations.
A '''sync pair''' (Japanese: '''バディーズ''' ''Buddies'') is a pair consisting of one [[Pokémon Trainer]] and one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Each sync pair has one of six roles:  
* [[File:Masters Physical Strike.png|32px|link=]] [[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] '''Strike''' sync pairs, which are focused on attacking.
* [[File:Masters Support.png|32px|link=]] '''Support''' sync pairs, which are focused on defending, healing {{stat|HP}}, and increasing stats of the whole team.
* [[File:Masters Tech.png|32px|link=]] '''Tech''' sync pairs, which are focused on disrupting the opponents, such as lowering their stats and inflicting status conditions.
* [[File:Masters Sprint.png|32px|link=]] '''Sprint''' sync pairs, which are focused on attacking fast and reducing the [[sync move]] countdown.
* [[File:Masters Field.png|32px|link=]] '''Field''' sync pairs, which are focused on setting up field effects.
* [[File:Masters Multi.png|32px|link=]] '''Multi''' sync pairs, which are focused on lowering and raising type rebuff.
 
A list of all sync pairs can be found [[List of sync pairs|here]].

===Moves===
{{main|List of moves in Pokémon Masters EX}}
{{main|List of moves in Pokémon Masters EX}}
Sync pairs can know four moves at a given time, though the available moves can change based on certain conditions, such as after activating [[Mega Evolution]] or using a [[sync move]].
Sync pairs have access to two broad categories of moves:
* '''Pokémon [[move]]s''': These require a specific amount of move gauge slots to be used. Status effects that would activate after an action is taken, such as damage from {{status|Poison}}, will activate after using a Pokémon move. Pokémon moves that deal damage are classified as attacks.
** '''[[File:Buddy Move Icon Masters.png|20px|link=]] [[Buddy move]]s''': Powerful Pokémon moves that can only be used when certain move-specific activation conditions are met. These moves also have deactivation conditions that will make the move unavailable for use if met. Some sync pairs have buddy moves with a limited number of uses.
* '''Trainer moves''': These are unique to Pokémon Masters EX, and act similar to [[item]]s in the [[core series]]. They do not usually require the use of move gauge slots, but can only be used a set number of times in a battle. Trainer moves can be used even if the pair's Pokémon is unable to act due to status effects. Effects that would activate after a Pokémon takes an action will not activate in response to a Trainer move.
Sync pairs can take other actions during battle that contain "move" in their names. However, these are not considered moves, instead being classified as attacks.
* '''[[File:Dynamax icon.png|20px|link=]] [[Max Move|Max moves]]''': Powerful moves exclusive to [[Dynamax]] sync pairs. These do not expend move gauge slots and can be used at any time, but only once per battle. If a sync pair has multiple max moves, only one can be used per battle.
* '''[[File:Sync stone.png|20px|link=]] [[Sync move]]s''': Powerful moves that can be used once a certain amount of moves have been used in battle. Each sync pair knows one sync move, though the sync move can change if the pair's Pokémon reaches its final evolutionary stage. Some sync moves will activate [[Mega Evolution]].
Moves, sync moves, and max moves can also have one or more '''effect tags''' that correspond to their effects or properties.
* '''Absorbs''': A move that restores the user's HP based on the amount of damage dealt to the target or targets.
* '''Berry''': A Trainer move that is a [[Berry]].
* '''Bouncing''': An attack that causes the user to begin bouncing, making the user semi-invulnerable for a few seconds.
* '''Flying''': An attack that causes the user to begin flying, making the user semi-invulnerable for a few seconds.
* '''Heals''': A move that restores a defined percentage of HP.
* '''Multistrike''': An attack that hits the target multiple times.
* '''OK While Frozen''': An attack that can be used even while the user's Pokémon is {{status|frozen}}. Upon using this attack, the frozen condition is removed from the user.
* '''One-Hit KO''': An attack that causes the target to faint instantly on a hit.
* '''Phantom Presence''': An attack that causes the user to take on a phantom presence, making the user semi-invulnerable for a few seconds.
* '''Quick Move''': An attack that does not consume any move gauge slots to use.
* '''Recoil''': A move that causes damage to the user.
* '''Shadow Presence''': An attack that causes the user to take on a shadow presence, making the user semi-invulnerable for a few seconds.
* '''Sure Hit''': An attack that bypasses accuracy checks to always hit.
The [[power]] of Pokémon moves can be increased by obtaining duplicates of the same sync pair, through events or scouting. Moves initially start at level 1, and each duplicate increases the power of the sync pair's moves by one level, up to level 5. At level 5, the power of the moves is increased by 20% relative to level 1.
If a sync pair duplicate is obtained after they have already reached move level 5, then a power-up item corresponding to their initial star rarity is received instead. In the case of [[Legendary Adventures]] sync pairs, despite starting at 5★ rarity, the power-up item received will be 3★.
===Skills===
:''See also: [[Skill (Masters)]], [[Lucky skill]]''
Sync pairs can also learn [[Skill (Masters)|passive skill]]s, which are similar to {{Abilities}} in the core series. Sync pairs can know anywhere from one to three passive skills by default. Certain conditions such as Mega Evolution can change a pair's passive skills, but cannot exceed the limit of three.
Master sync pairs can know four passive skills instead, with the fourth being a master passive skill that affects the entire party.
One additional "[[lucky skill]]" slot can be unlocked by using lucky scrolls. Skills for this slot can then be learned at random by using lucky cookies.
Additional skills not subject to the above limits can be unlocked on a sync pair's [[sync grid]]. Some of the skills unlocked in this way will only activate when specific moves are used.
===Level===
{{incomplete|section|Double-check the requirements for increasing multi sync pairs' level cap from 100 to 110}}
Sync pairs gain [[experience]] and [[level]] up by winning {{pkmn|battle}}s or by using [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|Level-Up Manuals]]. Leveling up increases a sync pair's [[Statistic|stats]], with them being identical in their role to the stats of the [[core series]] games except for {{stat|Speed}}, which instead affects the rate at which the move gauge fills.
Sync pairs have level caps, initially starting with a level cap of 100. The player can use items to increase the level cap to 110, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, and then one level at a time up to 150.
Each level beyond level 140 requires 1 Certificate of Excellence to unlock, meaning a total of 10 certificates are needed for a pair to reach level 150.
[[Egg Pokémon (Masters)|Pokémon hatched from Eggs]] do not have level caps, and are thus immediately eligible for level 150.

Multi sync pairs, since they do not have their own drinks, use the drinks corresponding to their [[EX role]] rather than their main role. In addition, they require fewer items overall to reach the level cap of 140.

====Evolution====
Reaching certain levels can allow the Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]; for example, at level 30, {{mas|Barry}}'s {{p|Piplup}} can evolve into {{p|Prinplup}}, at level 45 it can evolve into {{p|Empoleon}}.
Once a pair's Pokémon's reaches its final evolutionary stage, the pair's sync move will change. Extending the Barry example, the pair will learn the [[sync move]] Late Fee Bubble Beam once Prinplup evolves into Empoleon.
Some Pokémon will also change other moves upon Evolution; for example, {{mas|Elio}}'s {{p|Popplio}} will change its {{m|Water Gun}} into {{m|Sparkling Aria}} upon evolving into {{p|Primarina}}.
To initiate an Evolution, the pair must have reached the required level, and a sync pair story about the Evolution must be completed. These stories cost Evolution shards or Evolution crystals, and each includes a one-on-one battle as well as story scenes.
[[Egg Pokémon (Masters)|Pokémon hatched from Eggs]] do not have sync pair stories, so they are instead evolved from the Affinity menu by using Evolution shards and crystals. The item cost for evolving Egg Pokémon is lower than the cost for standard sync pairs.

===Increasing potential===
The player can also increase the stats of a sync pair by using [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|power-ups]]. Each power-up increases a sync pair's potential by one, up to a maximum of 20.
If the sync pair is initially at 5★, then each rise in potential boosts their [[HP]] stat by 5 and their following stats by 2 each: {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}} (or Sp. Atk), {{stat|Special Defense}} (or Sp. Def), and {{stat|Speed}}. For all other sync pairs, each rise in potential provides a +2 boost to HP and a +1 boost to each other stat.
The potential of a 1★, 2★, 3★, 4★, or 5★ sync pair can only be raised by using 1★, 2★, 3★, 4★, or 5★ power-ups, respectively. For example, a 3★ power-up can only increase the potential of a 3★ sync pair.
If a 1★-4★ sync pair reaches 20 potential, then their potential instantly resets to zero, and their number of stars automatically increases by one—all while their stats remain the same.

====[[File:Masters EX star.png|30px]] 6★ EX====
[[File:Spr Masters Morty EX.png|thumb|200px|{{mas|Morty}}'s EX style]]
{{main|6★ EX}}
Certain sync pairs at 5★ and with 20 potential can be given 50 [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|Champion Spirits]] (or [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|Legendary Spirits]] for Legendary Adventures pairs) to be raised to 6★ EX. This allows the sync pair's Trainer to change their pose and switch to their EX style, which is usually based on their partner Pokémon's regular/{{Shiny}} colors. In addition, upgrading to 6★ EX enhances the pair's [[sync move]] in one of the following ways depending on their role:
* [[File:Masters Physical Strike.png|32px|link=]][[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] '''Strike''': Sync move targets all opponents without its damage scaling down, even if multiple targets are present.
* [[File:Masters Tech.png|32px|link=]] '''Tech''': Sync move's power increases by 50%.
* [[File:Masters Support.png|32px|link=]] '''Support''': The user's first sync move of each battle doubles the number of sync buffs granted to their team (from one to two). A sync move buff acts in stages, similar to a stat buff in the core series, with a +50% increase to overall damage per buff. Effectively, except in special circumstances, this boosts that team's damage from 1.5× after the first sync move to 2× instead.
* [[File:Masters Sprint.png|32px|link=]] '''Sprint''' : The first time the user's sync move is used each battle, the sync move countdown is reduced by three.
* [[File:Masters Field.png|32px|link=]] '''Field''' : Implements a specified field effect before the user's sync move is used the first time each battle. Extends the field effect duration only that time.
* [[File:Masters Multi.png|32px|link=]] '''Multi''' : Lowers the type rebuff of the sync pair's type for all opposing sync pairs by one rank the first time the user's sync move is used each battle.
If a 5★ sync pair cannot be raised to 6★ EX, then they can still receive 5★ power-ups to increase their stats, but without access to a costume change or an upgraded sync move.
Certain sync pairs that can be raised to 6★ EX do not have an EX style—this applies to sync pairs who have the same outfit as their original version. This includes pairs obtained from {{mas|Battle Point}} rewards, [[Trainer Lodge]] rewards, and sync pairs that are exclusive to variety scouts.
If a sync pair involving [[Scottie]] or [[Bettie]] is raised to 6★ EX, the EX style is added to a list of outfits under Poryphone Menu → Profile → Edit Look → Clothes. If an EX style is applied here, all sync pairs involving Scottie/Bettie will wear the new outfit, even if those pairs are not 6★ EX themselves.
===Type and resistance===
Even though each pair has a single [[type]], the resistances and defensive properties of the pair do not depend on it. Each sync pair has only a single weakness to a specific type and the resistances to status alterations, when available, are exclusively gained through passive skills.
===Sync grid===
{{main|Sync grid}}
Each sync pair has access to a [[sync grid]], where sync orbs can be spent to unlock various upgrades:
* Increase base stats (blue tiles)
* Increase the power or accuracy of moves (green tiles)
* Add additional passive skills (yellow tiles)
* Add special passive skills, which only activate upon using specific moves (red tiles)
* Increase the power of the sync move (rainbow tiles)
* Increase the power of a Max move (orange tiles) or G-Max move (purple tiles)
===[[File:Masters Power Boost.png|32px|link=]] Power boost===
Sync pairs obtained through [[Legendary Adventures]] can receive a pair-specific power boost from the [[villain event]] corresponding to their region.
A Power Boost can enable a pair to perform [[Mega Evolution]], or add six tiles to the pair's [[sync grid]] (but not both). Which is received will vary based on the pair.
* [[File:Bag Key Stone Sprite.png|24px|link=]] Mega Evolution:

===EX role===
{{main|EX role}}
Certain sync pairs can use a roll cake to unlock their EX role—a secondary role that differs from the pair's original role. Doing so will give a stat boost depending on the unlocked EX role.

If the pair is also raised to {{6EX}}, they will gain a second role-based enhancement to their sync move - for example, a [[File:Masters Physical Strike.png|32px|link=]][[File:Masters Special Strike.png|32px|link=]] Strike sync pair that unlocks a [[File:Masters Tech.png|32px|link=]] Tech EX role will have their sync move both attack all opponents (due to the Strike role) and deal 50% more damage (due to the Tech role).
However, the EX role available to a given sync pair (if any) is pre-determined for that sync pair—the player cannot freely choose a role to be the pair's EX role.
===Defunct mechanics===
As the game has been updated over time, certain mechanics have been removed or otherwise function differently. These are included here for historical purposes.
====Unlocking moves and skills====
[[File:Masters Moves and Skills menu.png|thumb|200px|Moves and Skills menu prior to version 1.12.0]]
[[File:Masters Moves and Skills menu.png|thumb|200px|Moves and Skills menu prior to version 1.12.0]]
Sync pairs have access to two different types of moves:
Prior to version 1.12.0, each sync pair knew two moves when recruited, and could unlock additional moves, up to a maximum of four moves. Some passive skills would also not be available by default, and would need to be unlocked. Starting from version 1.12.0, sync pairs know all available moves and passive skills by default.
* Pokémon [[move]]s - these require a specific amount of move gauge slots to be used. An exception are quick moves which, similar to trainer moves, do not use move gauge slots but have a set number of times they can be used
* Trainer moves - these are unique to Pokémon Masters EX. They do not require the use of move gauge slots, but can only be used a set number of times in a battle
 
Prior to version 1.12.0, each sync pair knew two moves when recruited, and could know up to four moves. Sync pairs can also unleash [[sync move]]s, which are powerful moves that can be used once a certain amount of moves have been used in battle. Sync pairs can also learn [[passive skill]]s, which are similar to {{Abilities}} in the core series. Certain sync pairs can learn up to three passive skills. Beginning in version 1.12.0, sync pairs will know all available moves and passive skills by default.


Sync pairs rewarded from Legendary Events instead use "custom" items exclusive to their respective event. The amount of each item needed also varies between these Sync pairs.
Moves and skills were normally unlocked using cap-unlock drinks and training machines. Sync pairs rewarded from [[legendary event]]s also used custom training machines exclusive to their respective event. The amount of each item needed varied between these sync pairs.
* As of Giovanni and Mewtwo's rerun, the pair was updated to no longer use Custom Super Training Machines. The item actually became unobtainable for any players who did not get them during the event's initial run, although it no longer served a purpose.
* On {{sync|Giovanni|Mewtwo}}'s second run, the pair was updated to no longer use Custom Super Training Machines. This item became unobtainable for any players who did not get them during the event's initial run, as it no longer served a purpose.

The [[power]] of Pokémon moves can be increased. When the player scouts a sync pair that they already have, the power of the moves is increased by one level. The level of the moves starts at level one and can be boosted to level 5. At level 5, the power of the moves is increased by 20% with respect to level 1.
====Legendary event level caps====
 
Sync pairs rewarded from legendary events used custom items exclusive to their respective event to unlock their level caps. The amount of each item needed also varied between these sync pairs.
===Level===
* Starting with{{sync|Zinnia|Rayquaza}}, and for any legendary event pairs re-run afterwards, Custom Drinks were used instead of Custom Training Machines to increase level cap.
Sync pairs gain [[experience]] and [[level]] up by winning {{pkmn|battle}}s or by using [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|Level-Up Manuals]]. Leveling up increases a sync pair's [[Statistic|stats]], with them being identical in their role to the stats of the [[Core series|main games]] except for {{stat|Speed}}, which instead affects the rate at which the move gauge fills.
* Starting in version 2.2.0, all legendary event pairs use normal level cap materials. Custom materials can no longer be used, though they can be exchanged for normal materials.
 
Sync pairs have level caps, initially starting with a level cap of 100. The player can use items to increase the level cap to 110, 120, 125, and 130. Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s do not have level caps, and are thus immediately eligible for level 130.

Reaching certain levels can allow the Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]; for example, at level 30, {{mas|Barry}}'s {{p|Piplup}} can evolve into {{p|Prinplup}}, at level 45 it can evolve into {{p|Empoleon}}, which then causes it to learn the [[sync move]] Late Fee Bubble Beam.
==List of sync pairs==
 
{{main|List of sync pairs}}
===Increasing potential===
The player can also increase the stats of sync pairs by using [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|power-ups]]. Each power-up provides a +2 boost to HP, and a +1 boost to each other stat. Only the power-up corresponding to the number of sync pair stars can be used. For example, a 3★ power-up can only increase the potential of a 3★ sync pair. Once 20 power-ups are used, the number of stars for that sync pair increases by one. 5★ pairs can be given up to 20 5★ power-ups even though they can't increase their number of stars, in this case each power-up increases the HP stat by 5 and the other stats by 2 if the pair was a 5★ pair when scouted, otherwise each 5★ power-ups will increase the HP stat by 2 and all the other stats by 1.
 
===Type and resistance===
Even though each pair has a single [[type]], the resistances and defensive properties of the pair do not depend on it. Each sync pair has only a single weakness to a specific type and the resistances to status alterations, when available, are exclusively gained through passive skills.
 
==Sync pair scout==
Players can recruit sync pairs that are not available through the main story through sync pair scout at the {{DL|Pokémon Masters EX|shop}}. It costs 300 gems (or 100 paid gems daily (Up to 3 times if the Spotlight Scout features more than one Sync pair starting with Ethan and Hilda Spotlight Scout or a Sync Pair that has already been featured previously (excluding Seasonal and Poké Fair Scout) starting with Guzma Spotlight scout)) to scout one sync pair (or 3000 gems to scout 11 (10 prior to Sygna Suit Blue Poké Fair Scout) at once), which is chosen randomly from a pool of sync pairs. There is a 73% chance of obtaining a 3★ sync pair (70% in Poké Fair scouts), 20% chance of a 4★ sync pair, and 7% chance of a 5★ sync pair (10% in Poké Fair scouts). While the door opening animation ultimately reveals the number of stars of the pairs, sometimes the Poryphone animation will reveal the lower bound for the number of stars: if an antenna comes out of the Poryphone, a sync pair with no less than 4★ is being recruited, if the Poryphone sparks upon being inserted and the background turns rainbow during the scouting process which causes a parabolic antenna to come out, a 5★ pair is being recruited. In addition starting from version 1.5.0, a background preview animation of the 5★ pair will play.
 
As previously mentioned, if the player scouts a sync pair they have already recruited, then the sync pair receives an increase in level to their moves. Once the sync pair's move level is maxed out to level 5, if the player again scouts that sync pair, the player will instead receive a [[List of items in Pokémon Masters EX|power-up item]] corresponding to the sync pair's original number of stars.
 
A scout point will be awarded for every one hundred gems spent through sync pair scouts. 3 bonus scout point will also be awarded every time the player scouts 11 sync pair at once starting from Synga Suit Blue Poké Fair Scout. If a player manages to achieve 400 scout points, the player will be able to scout for a sync pair of their choice. However, scout points gained during a specific spotlight scout will expire once the spotlight scout expires, and they will not carry over to another spotlight scout.


The available sync pairs change as the game introduces more Trainers, with specific spotlight scouts giving a higher chance of obtaining the sync pair that the event is focused on. Starting with Leaf Spotlight scout, any recently added sync pair who's spotlight scout is still active will not appear on this spotlight scout but will appear on the next spotlight scout once their spotlight scout ends.
==Methods of obtaining sync pairs==
===PML Arc===
{{main|PML Arc}}
Several sync pairs are automatically recruited after completing certain missions over the course of the PML Arc.


Starting with Lusamine Spotlight Scout, when the player scouts 11 sync pairs at once for the first time, they will receive a move candy coin corresponding to the featured Sync pair's role. This was later changed to up to 3 times starting with Lance Seasonal Scout and Lillie Seasonal Scout.
===Sync pair scout===
{{main|Sync pair scout}}
The sync pair scout allows players to spend {{mas|Gem}}s to obtain random sync pairs from various showcases.


Starting with Clemont and Elesa Spotlight Scout, when the player successfuly recruit the featured sync pair that has already been featured previously in that spotlight scout, they will receive 3 Custom 5★ Power-Up corresponding to to the sync pair that was featured on the spotlight scout (maximum 5 times).
===Ticket scout===
{{main|Ticket scout}}
A ticket scout allows players to scout for sync pairs using various types of ticket items.

Tina & Flareon, a 4★ sync pair that can be upgraded to 6★ EX

A sync pair (Japanese: バディーズ Buddies) is a pair consisting of one Pokémon Trainer and one Pokémon in Pokémon Masters EX. Each sync pair has one of six roles:

  • Masters Physical Strike.png Masters Special Strike.png Strike sync pairs, which are focused on attacking.
  • Masters Support.png Support sync pairs, which are focused on defending, healing HP, and increasing stats of the whole team.
  • Masters Tech.png Tech sync pairs, which are focused on disrupting the opponents, such as lowering their stats and inflicting status conditions.
  • Masters Sprint.png Sprint sync pairs, which are focused on attacking fast and reducing the sync move countdown.
  • Masters Field.png Field sync pairs, which are focused on setting up field effects.
  • Masters Multi.png Multi sync pairs, which are focused on lowering and raising type rebuff.

A list of all sync pairs can be found here.

Mechanics

Moves

Main article: List of moves in Pokémon Masters EX

Sync pairs can know four moves at a given time, though the available moves can change based on certain conditions, such as after activating Mega Evolution or using a sync move.

Sync pairs have access to two broad categories of moves:

  • Pokémon moves: These require a specific amount of move gauge slots to be used. Status effects that would activate after an action is taken, such as damage from Poison, will activate after using a Pokémon move. Pokémon moves that deal damage are classified as attacks.
    • Buddy Move Icon Masters.png Buddy moves: Powerful Pokémon moves that can only be used when certain move-specific activation conditions are met. These moves also have deactivation conditions that will make the move unavailable for use if met. Some sync pairs have buddy moves with a limited number of uses.
  • Trainer moves: These are unique to Pokémon Masters EX, and act similar to items in the core series. They do not usually require the use of move gauge slots, but can only be used a set number of times in a battle. Trainer moves can be used even if the pair's Pokémon is unable to act due to status effects. Effects that would activate after a Pokémon takes an action will not activate in response to a Trainer move.

Sync pairs can take other actions during battle that contain "move" in their names. However, these are not considered moves, instead being classified as attacks.

  • Dynamax icon.png Max moves: Powerful moves exclusive to Dynamax sync pairs. These do not expend move gauge slots and can be used at any time, but only once per battle. If a sync pair has multiple max moves, only one can be used per battle.
  • Sync stone.png Sync moves: Powerful moves that can be used once a certain amount of moves have been used in battle. Each sync pair knows one sync move, though the sync move can change if the pair's Pokémon reaches its final evolutionary stage. Some sync moves will activate Mega Evolution.

Moves, sync moves, and max moves can also have one or more effect tags that correspond to their effects or properties.

  • Absorbs: A move that restores the user's HP based on the amount of damage dealt to the target or targets.
  • Berry: A Trainer move that is a Berry.
  • Bouncing: An attack that causes the user to begin bouncing, making the user semi-invulnerable for a few seconds.
  • Flying: An attack that causes the user to begin flying, making the user semi-invulnerable for a few seconds.
  • Heals: A move that restores a defined percentage of HP.
  • Multistrike: An attack that hits the target multiple times.
  • OK While Frozen: An attack that can be used even while the user's Pokémon is frozen. Upon using this attack, the frozen condition is removed from the user.
  • One-Hit KO: An attack that causes the target to faint instantly on a hit.
  • Phantom Presence: An attack that causes the user to take on a phantom presence, making the user semi-invulnerable for a few seconds.
  • Quick Move: An attack that does not consume any move gauge slots to use.
  • Recoil: A move that causes damage to the user.
  • Shadow Presence: An attack that causes the user to take on a shadow presence, making the user semi-invulnerable for a few seconds.
  • Sure Hit: An attack that bypasses accuracy checks to always hit.

The power of Pokémon moves can be increased by obtaining duplicates of the same sync pair, through events or scouting. Moves initially start at level 1, and each duplicate increases the power of the sync pair's moves by one level, up to level 5. At level 5, the power of the moves is increased by 20% relative to level 1.

If a sync pair duplicate is obtained after they have already reached move level 5, then a power-up item corresponding to their initial star rarity is received instead. In the case of Legendary Adventures sync pairs, despite starting at 5★ rarity, the power-up item received will be 3★.

Skills

See also: Skill (Masters), Lucky skill

Sync pairs can also learn passive skills, which are similar to Abilities in the core series. Sync pairs can know anywhere from one to three passive skills by default. Certain conditions such as Mega Evolution can change a pair's passive skills, but cannot exceed the limit of three.

Master sync pairs can know four passive skills instead, with the fourth being a master passive skill that affects the entire party.

One additional "lucky skill" slot can be unlocked by using lucky scrolls. Skills for this slot can then be learned at random by using lucky cookies.

Additional skills not subject to the above limits can be unlocked on a sync pair's sync grid. Some of the skills unlocked in this way will only activate when specific moves are used.

Level

Reason: Double-check the requirements for increasing multi sync pairs' level cap from 100 to 110

Sync pairs gain experience and level up by winning battles or by using Level-Up Manuals. Leveling up increases a sync pair's stats, with them being identical in their role to the stats of the core series games except for Speed, which instead affects the rate at which the move gauge fills.

Sync pairs have level caps, initially starting with a level cap of 100. The player can use items to increase the level cap to 110, 120, 125, 130, 135, 140, and then one level at a time up to 150.

Each level beyond level 140 requires 1 Certificate of Excellence to unlock, meaning a total of 10 certificates are needed for a pair to reach level 150.

Pokémon hatched from Eggs do not have level caps, and are thus immediately eligible for level 150.

Multi sync pairs, since they do not have their own drinks, use the drinks corresponding to their EX role rather than their main role. In addition, they require fewer items overall to reach the level cap of 140.

Evolution

Reaching certain levels can allow the Pokémon to evolve; for example, at level 30, Barry's Piplup can evolve into Prinplup, at level 45 it can evolve into Empoleon.

Once a pair's Pokémon's reaches its final evolutionary stage, the pair's sync move will change. Extending the Barry example, the pair will learn the sync move Late Fee Bubble Beam once Prinplup evolves into Empoleon.

Some Pokémon will also change other moves upon Evolution; for example, Elio's Popplio will change its Water Gun into Sparkling Aria upon evolving into Primarina.

To initiate an Evolution, the pair must have reached the required level, and a sync pair story about the Evolution must be completed. These stories cost Evolution shards or Evolution crystals, and each includes a one-on-one battle as well as story scenes.

Pokémon hatched from Eggs do not have sync pair stories, so they are instead evolved from the Affinity menu by using Evolution shards and crystals. The item cost for evolving Egg Pokémon is lower than the cost for standard sync pairs.

Evolution Items required Level required
Standard Egg
First stage Masters Evolution Shard.png Evolution Shard ×5 Masters Evolution Shard.png Evolution Shard ×1 Level 30
Second stage Masters Evolution Crystal.png Evolution Crystal ×3 Masters Evolution Crystal.png Evolution Crystal ×1 Level 45

Increasing potential

The player can also increase the stats of a sync pair by using power-ups. Each power-up increases a sync pair's potential by one, up to a maximum of 20.

If the sync pair is initially at 5★, then each rise in potential boosts their HP stat by 5 and their following stats by 2 each: Attack, Defense, Special Attack (or Sp. Atk), Special Defense (or Sp. Def), and Speed. For all other sync pairs, each rise in potential provides a +2 boost to HP and a +1 boost to each other stat.

The potential of a 1★, 2★, 3★, 4★, or 5★ sync pair can only be raised by using 1★, 2★, 3★, 4★, or 5★ power-ups, respectively. For example, a 3★ power-up can only increase the potential of a 3★ sync pair.

If a 1★-4★ sync pair reaches 20 potential, then their potential instantly resets to zero, and their number of stars automatically increases by one—all while their stats remain the same.

Starting rarity Stats gained per Power-Up
HP Attack Defense Sp. Atk Sp. Def Speed
5★ +5 +2 +2 +2 +2 +2
1★-4★ +2 +1 +1 +1 +1 +1

Masters EX star.png 6★ EX

Morty's EX style
Main article: 6★ EX

Certain sync pairs at 5★ and with 20 potential can be given 50 Champion Spirits (or Legendary Spirits for Legendary Adventures pairs) to be raised to 6★ EX. This allows the sync pair's Trainer to change their pose and switch to their EX style, which is usually based on their partner Pokémon's regular/Shiny colors. In addition, upgrading to 6★ EX enhances the pair's sync move in one of the following ways depending on their role:

  • Masters Physical Strike.pngMasters Special Strike.png Strike: Sync move targets all opponents without its damage scaling down, even if multiple targets are present.
  • Masters Tech.png Tech: Sync move's power increases by 50%.
  • Masters Support.png Support: The user's first sync move of each battle doubles the number of sync buffs granted to their team (from one to two). A sync move buff acts in stages, similar to a stat buff in the core series, with a +50% increase to overall damage per buff. Effectively, except in special circumstances, this boosts that team's damage from 1.5× after the first sync move to 2× instead.
  • Masters Sprint.png Sprint : The first time the user's sync move is used each battle, the sync move countdown is reduced by three.
  • Masters Field.png Field : Implements a specified field effect before the user's sync move is used the first time each battle. Extends the field effect duration only that time.
  • Masters Multi.png Multi : Lowers the type rebuff of the sync pair's type for all opposing sync pairs by one rank the first time the user's sync move is used each battle.

If a 5★ sync pair cannot be raised to 6★ EX, then they can still receive 5★ power-ups to increase their stats, but without access to a costume change or an upgraded sync move.

Certain sync pairs that can be raised to 6★ EX do not have an EX style—this applies to sync pairs who have the same outfit as their original version. This includes pairs obtained from Battle Point rewards, Trainer Lodge rewards, and sync pairs that are exclusive to variety scouts.

If a sync pair involving Scottie or Bettie is raised to 6★ EX, the EX style is added to a list of outfits under Poryphone Menu → Profile → Edit Look → Clothes. If an EX style is applied here, all sync pairs involving Scottie/Bettie will wear the new outfit, even if those pairs are not 6★ EX themselves.

Type and resistance

Even though each pair has a single type, the resistances and defensive properties of the pair do not depend on it. Each sync pair has only a single weakness to a specific type and the resistances to status alterations, when available, are exclusively gained through passive skills.

Sync grid

Main article: Sync grid

Each sync pair has access to a sync grid, where sync orbs can be spent to unlock various upgrades:

  • Increase base stats (blue tiles)
  • Increase the power or accuracy of moves (green tiles)
  • Add additional passive skills (yellow tiles)
  • Add special passive skills, which only activate upon using specific moves (red tiles)
  • Increase the power of the sync move (rainbow tiles)
  • Increase the power of a Max move (orange tiles) or G-Max move (purple tiles)

Masters Power Boost.png Power boost

Sync pairs obtained through Legendary Adventures can receive a pair-specific power boost from the villain event corresponding to their region.

A Power Boost can enable a pair to perform Mega Evolution, or add six tiles to the pair's sync grid (but not both). Which is received will vary based on the pair.

EX role

Main article: EX role

Certain sync pairs can use a roll cake to unlock their EX role—a secondary role that differs from the pair's original role. Doing so will give a stat boost depending on the unlocked EX role.

EX role Stats gained
HP Attack Defense Sp. Atk Sp. Def Speed
Masters Physical Strike.png Masters Special Strike.png Strike +60 +40 N/A +40 N/A N/A
Masters Support.png Support +60 N/A +40 N/A +40 N/A
Masters Tech.png Tech +60 +20 +20 +20 +20 N/A
Masters Field.png Field +60 N/A +20 N/A +20 +40
Masters Sprint.png Sprint +60 +20 N/A +20 N/A | +40

If the pair is also raised to Masters EX star.png 6★ EX, they will gain a second role-based enhancement to their sync move - for example, a Masters Physical Strike.pngMasters Special Strike.png Strike sync pair that unlocks a Masters Tech.png Tech EX role will have their sync move both attack all opponents (due to the Strike role) and deal 50% more damage (due to the Tech role).

However, the EX role available to a given sync pair (if any) is pre-determined for that sync pair—the player cannot freely choose a role to be the pair's EX role.

Defunct mechanics

As the game has been updated over time, certain mechanics have been removed or otherwise function differently. These are included here for historical purposes.

Unlocking moves and skills

Moves and Skills menu prior to version 1.12.0

Prior to version 1.12.0, each sync pair knew two moves when recruited, and could unlock additional moves, up to a maximum of four moves. Some passive skills would also not be available by default, and would need to be unlocked. Starting from version 1.12.0, sync pairs know all available moves and passive skills by default.

Moves and skills were normally unlocked using cap-unlock drinks and training machines. Sync pairs rewarded from legendary events also used custom training machines exclusive to their respective event. The amount of each item needed varied between these sync pairs.

  • On Giovanni & Mewtwo's second run, the pair was updated to no longer use Custom Super Training Machines. This item became unobtainable for any players who did not get them during the event's initial run, as it no longer served a purpose.

Legendary event level caps

Sync pairs rewarded from legendary events used custom items exclusive to their respective event to unlock their level caps. The amount of each item needed also varied between these sync pairs.

  • Starting with Zinnia & Rayquaza, and for any legendary event pairs re-run afterwards, Custom Drinks were used instead of Custom Training Machines to increase level cap.
  • Starting in version 2.2.0, all legendary event pairs use normal level cap materials. Custom materials can no longer be used, though they can be exchanged for normal materials.
