X live Pokemon Masters EX tier list – best sync pairs to use

1

Damage Dealer sync pairs tier list

The main focus of judging sync pairs in this tier list will be mostly on their damage-dealing capabilities. Most of the sync pairs here have striking abilities that help them deal more damage. Of course, some exceptions exist like the Steven & Deoxys (Attack Forme) sync pair that can also boost the critical hit rate of all allies. However, that’s just an added advantage to their already high damage multipliers and potential value.

Some of the most notable damage dealers are going to be Red & Pikachu, Lucas & Dialga, and Steven & Deoxys (Attack Forme). Red & Pikachu’s special move B Thunderbolt is a massive hyper-scaling damaging move that increases its own damage dealt the more it is used. Such moves are not only good in PvE content where fights can drag out, but also in certain PvP situations against tanky stall team comps. Lucas & Dialga’s is possibly the best Dragon-type sync pair available in the game due to their special move Dragon Zone that can boost the stats of all Dragon-type sync pairs. Steven & Deoxys (Attack Forme) is the ultimate counter to sync pairs that reduce the stats of enemies. Their passive ability Downside Up states that whenever an enemy reduces the stats of Steven and Deoxys (Attack Forme), the move instead increases their stats by the same amount.

Hybrid sync pairs tier list

The main focus of judging sync pairs in this tier list will be mostly on their joint capabilities of both dealing damage to enemies while providing support to allies/debuffing enemies. These sync pairs are usually categorised under “Tech”. The Hybrid sync pairs are one of the most important ones in the game as they have the ability to control the entire battlefield by manipulating stats, providing tons of buffs/debuffs, etc. Some of them even excel at dealing damage, although not quite at the level of damage dealer sync pairs.

Sygna Suit Thunderbolt Red & Pikachu is a classic example of one of the best hybrid sync pairs as it can play out both offensively and defensively according to the situation. Their moves Electric Field and +B Volt Tackle work so much in sync! Electric Field changes the terrain to Electric type, which also happens to be the activation condition of the trainer move +B Volt Tackle. Maxie & Groudon, on the other hand, is one amazing enabler of a sync pair. Their passive skill Hoenn Pride increases the attack power of all physical type attack moves of allies by 20%! That’s a flat increase in the Attack just by them being on the team.

Support sync pairs tier list

The main focus of judging sync pairs in this tier list will be mostly on the support and utility these sync pairs can provide for the team. Just like exceptions were made for damage dealers, some weight will also be given to those sync pairs that can deal damage along with supporting the team.

When we talk about healers, Ingo & Excadrill cannot be overlooked. Their heals are unmatched to date. The 2nd ability Potion can restore any ally’s HP by 40% of the amount. Their 4th move All Aboard! buffs the Attack power and critical hit rate by 1 stat rank! Sygna Suit Kris & Suicune is another great option for players looking to add more healers to their team. Their 2nd move Mini Potion All can restore 20% HP of all allied sync pairs. Their 4th move Spring of Knowledge! is an AOE-buffing move that boosts the Sp. Atk of allied sync pairs by 2 stat ranks and boosts the critical hit rate of all allied pairs by 1 stat rank each.
