Pokemon Masters: Best Sync Pairs for Your Team

Best Strike (Special) Sync Pairs

Again, we find mostly Mega Pokemon in the Strike (Special) role, but this time standard Mewtwo and Infernape make it into the mix.

• Blue & Mega Pidgeot
  Mega Pidgeot is a fantastic Special attacker as long as its moves hit. Hurricane only lands 70% of the time, but Smell Ya Later! can boost Pidgeot’s accuracy along with its evasiveness and crit rate. But if Hurricane is too risky for you, then Air Slash is a solid special move with a high crit rate.

• Sygna Suit Red & Mega Charizard X
  Mega Charizard X is just a pure wrecking ball made out of fire. My Destiny! will boost Sp. Atk and attack and Piercing Gaze makes sure that Heat Wave (90% accuracy) or any attack never misses. Move Gauge Refresh 4 can also let Mega Charizard X use Heat Wave more often by recharging its gauge every time a move lands.

• Giovanni & Mewtwo
  Mewtwo doesn’t have any notable buffs outside of Nowhere to Hide! which boosts evasiveness and crit chance. But its Sp. Atk stat is so good that it truly doesn’t need buffs to take out your opponents. Psychic and Shadow Ball can both lower an opponent’s Sp. Def which only makes Mewtwo more dangerous.

• Karen & Mega Houndoom
  Woof, this Pokemon is one incredible special striker. Entertain Me! sacrifices HP to boost Sp. Atk, but it has enough Def and Sp. Def for this to not be a major issue. Then Dire Hit + and Dark Pulse make for a dangerous combo that can raise your Crit chance drastically while making the opponent flinch.

• Clint & Infernape
  It’s weird to think of Infernape as a special striker, but it’s actually one of the best options in Pokemon Masters. Fire Blast is one of the best Fire-type moves in the game. Combining that with We’re on Fire! and Dire hit to boost Atk and Crit chance will make short work of almost any opponent.
