#galar sync pair

[pokemaster91]

The champion of Galar has arrived! Leon & Charizard are here to show their strength!

[waywardstation]

Should we keep hope for Warden Ingo in Masters or not? Also, do you the sync pair for the Wardens be with their partners or the Nobles? Ah, I'm way to happy about this!

(In regards to PLA content coming to Pokémon Masters)

I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS TOO OP!! Warden Ingo is obviously the sync pair that I want most. I want him so I can put him on a team with Emmet and Elesa ;-;

But I don’t know if he will actually appear, and if he does is almost certainly won’t be in the first “wave” of sync pairs.

This may get a bit long, apologies, but these are all of my thoughts. I have been speculating on Hisuian Units for a LONG time, so I have many thoughts haha. I have not spent any gems in months and have 100k+ saved up because I expected it would be a matter of “when” and not “if”, considering the Pokemas community pointing out Pokemon themselves labeling PLA as a mainline game and DeNa’s apparent contractual obligation to include mainline games.

Here is what I think below. You did not ask for this OP, but this is my mountain of thoughts.

INITIAL SYNC PAIRS

Now, I believe Akari, Rei, and Volo will be initial, obvious sync pairs.

The trailer we got shows Dawn and Lucas, and I believe they’re going to be looking at Akari and Rei.

What I’m hoping is that this isn’t used to label Akari and Rei as Dawn and Lucas alts. I don’t think they will, as this would strip them of their names Akari and Rei, and they’re already being introduced as Hisuian Units (NOTE HISUI, NOT SINNOH), but the pokemas community seems to be entertaining the idea a lot, as doing this would “confirm” the popular fanon concept that Dawn is Akari/Lucas is Rei.

And Volo, I feel like is going to be a given unit. A pokemas leak account I follow along with reshared a gif with Akari and Volo in it before the trailer reveal. But also, DeNa treats Hisui as a Region the same every other region has been treated, they will need a standout villain for their Villain Arcs.

AND, this means Hisui will get a free Legendary Sync Pair added to the menu. Just like Zinnia and Rayquaza, Ghetsis and Kyurem, and Hop and Zamazenta. Every region has one, and Hisui will need one too.

I think it will be Volo to get this. And I’m expecting it to either be with Origin Forme Giratina, or Arceus themselves; both are viable for a Hisuian VA narrative.

But if the Legendary Sync pair is not Volo, I am expecting it to be Cogita and Enamorus.

HISUIAN POKÉMON

I’ve been thinking on possible sync pairs for a while. I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t go this way at all, but I feel like Hisuian Sync Pairs will mean for the most part, this is meant to present Hisuian Pokémon too.

I am leaning towards the idea that Akari will get a Hisuian Samurott, and Rei a Hisuian Typhlosion. The promotional merchandise that we got with the game always paired them together.

(And Laventon is paired with Hisuian Decidueye in the merchandise as you can see, so I’m expecting him to be a sync pair eventually, moreso to fit Decidueye into it and round out the trio.)

I am also expecting Irida and Adaman as very initial sync pairs. And I expect their partners to be their eeveelutions.

I expect alts for them later down the line, with Origin Forme Palkia and Dialga. Or alternatively, they start with Origin Form Palkia and Dialga, and get added to the Trainer Lodge with their eeveelutions as alt sync pair rewards.

WARDENS

Going with this theme of introducing Hisuian Pokémon, I am expecting wardens to be introduced with their nobles. (Though Lord Avalugg might not be quite as big obviously… DeNa is good at giving throwaway explanations for stuff like that though)

Pokémon seems to always group their promotional merchandise and Pokémon together with the groups they were initially revealed to the public with. If you notice right now, they always release Smoliv merchandise with Lechonk and Pawmi merchandise. And Cetitan merchandise always comes out with Fidough and Paldean Wooper merchandise, etc.

If DeNa would somehow follow this pattern, that means their first warden sync pairs might end up being Mai with Wyrdeer, Lian with Kleavor, as these were the first (and only) wardens properly publicly revealed on social media.

I want every warden to get a sync pair. Of course a lot of people are probably hoping for that. All in all, that would be 10 sync pairs just for them though, and that is a lot just for the wardens. Considering Galar only has 31 sync pairs right now (15 if we are not counting alts), this could take a LONG time to get all of them, if we ever even do.

And as much as I want Warden Ingo immediately, I want them to go through every area and their wardens chronologically. I want every warden.

But DeNa has to be aware that there is a considerable amount of people that want Warden Ingo as a sync pair specifically. The battle subway theme got its own remix because of their popularity. I hope they play into this marketability and make Warden Ingo’s inclusion a matter of when, and not if.

OTHER SYNC PAIRS

Of course, there are other characters that can be added besides the wardens. I am betting on Kamado being added as he was a promotional figure for the game before PLA was out. And I’m expecting him to have Snorlax. If Cyllene is added, I’m expecting abra. (Not a viable Pokémon at all, but I’m not really expecting her to be added.)

I want Zisu to be added very badly. And she has a Hisuian Zoroark on her team, which would be a great reason to include her if DeNa really does just care about Hisuian Pokémon inclusion.

Beni gets added? Gallade. Miss Fortune Sisters? Gengar, Toxicroak, Abomasnow (but that is 3 sync pairs right there so I’m NOT holding out on them). Pesselle? Crogunk. I’m not expecting any of these sync pairs as I list more of them, but options are there.

ALTS

Every regions gets alts. I am expecting alts from Hisui too.

Firstly, I’m expecting alts could introduce other Hisuian Pokémon. Their selection is small enough that I feel like some alts could be used up to try and achieve this. Overquil and Hisuian Goodra could be used in sync pairs in an excuse to make an alt. Hisuian Zoroark would be high up there on consideration I assume, but I’m really hoping they just include Zisu for that rep instead.

Secondly, I’m expecting a Ginkgo Guild Volo alt. (Or this is the base unit, and Arceus cosplay Volo is the alt) with togepi evo line as his sync pair.

I imagine DeNa could work with the narrative and include festival alts for Akari and Rei, but at the same time I don’t really expect it. Except for a few, almost every Pokemas Alt I can think of is tied to a non-canon themed event as opposed to their actual narratives within their games.

END THOUGHTS

NOW. I have some thoughts on what the narrative could possibly be for the Hisuian event, but I won’t even touch that right now seeing as how long and boring this whole post already is. Perhaps another time.

I am just really excited for more Hisui rep. I’m excited to see these characters again and get to see more interactions from them. I love PLA; it reinvigorated my love for Pokémon and helped me make so many good friends.

Its special to me, and I care about it a lot. So that said, I won’t take anything DeNa does with them too seriously. I just want to have fun with this event and enjoy my Hisui Rep, however much of it we actually get.

Thank you for the ask OP! I know you didn’t ask for all of this, but I have been hoping for this for months and incessantly snooping in the datamine community hoping for this scenario I thought would be too good to ever truely happen. We get more info on the 28th/29th, and I’m looking forward to it.

And if anyone actually read all of this, thank you!

A new Message from the Masters Team is out now!

Arven will be added to the Lodge starting Dec1, and there will be a PokeFair banner for him starting its rerun that day. He will not be added to the rotating monthly PokeFairs however.

Acerola/Tapu Bulu and various other pairs (I know Cyrus/Darkrai and the Lysandres) get Superawakening, upping the total to 25 fair pairs overall.

A "Gem special + special present (a Superawakening candy)" bundle will be available starting Dec5.

Arceus Arc Chapter 2 will be added Nov29, and no matter the golden boy energy Leon has, he still has a tough time against the original golden boy Red, so Volo gives him some "helpful" advice. There will also be a special battle event added.

Arc Leon overview, a Fire-type Multi Sync Pair with the EX Role of Tech. Thanks to one of their Passive Skills, their Sync Move and Max Moves, will hit all opponents instead. Their power will not be lowered even if there are multiple targets either, and they'll always be crits when they land! After they use their Max Move, another Passive Skill of theirs can reduce their Sync Move countdown by three, letting them quickly use their Sync Move. Their Special Moves + Next effect will also be increased by three ranks, powering up their moves. Additionally, when an opponent is burned, they'll be able to use their powerful single-target Almighty Fire Blast Buddy Move.

They also plan to add an extra special pose for his pre-existing Pairs.

Starting Dec1, two kinds of Triple Feature PokéFair Scout featuring Pairs such as Sygna Suit Cynthia/Kommo-o and N/Zekrom will begin! For each lineup, there will be a regular Triple Feature PokéFair Scout and a paid one that comes with a Roll Cake present.

Sygna Suit Cynthia/Kommo-o and N/Zekrom will get EX Roles. All of the other featured Fair-Exclusive Sync Pairs on the banner have already received EX Roles.

On Dec5, Galar Gym Leader Milo & Eldegoss will debut in the game as Grass-type Support Sync Pair with a Sprint EX Role. (PokeFair)

In early December, Story Event Champion Time, which was Leon's debut on Pasio, will return. An Ultimate Battle will also be added, featuring Morgan and Latias!

In addition, a Ranked Damage Event with battles that have opponents weak to Fire, Water, and Grass is scheduled to begin in mid-December.

Shiny Rayquaza will appear in co-op battles tying in with their planned Rayquaza Appears rally and the Raids in SV! (They also plan another rally in addition to this.)

Next message will be in late-December.

Pokemon masters ex.

Ash with the main protagonists sync pairs from kanto to galar.

A few of my million-dollar ideas for Pokémon Masters

Give Falkner a Sygna Suit or other alt outfit. He has three sync pairs already (Swellow, Pidgeot, and Noctowl), all of which feature his default HeartGold/SoulSilver outfit.

If I was going to give him an alt outfit, I’d pick Skarmory to be his sync partner. Shiny Staraptor could also work.

While we’re on the subject of giving Falkner an alt outfit, I think Janine and Morty should get outfits that complement Falkner’s. (Yes, I ship both of them with Falkner.)

For those alts, I think Janine would work well with shiny Scolipede, and Morty with a shiny Chandelure.

Make the Striaton Trio (Cilan, Chili, and Cress) playable! Obviously their sync partners would be the elemental monkeys.

Drayden should also be a playable character, with Drudiggon as his sync partner. (Iris already has Haxorus and Hydreigon). As of now, he’s not even in the game as an NPC.

Sygna Suit Looker and Boltund. (Thanks to @fallershipping ‘s art for this idea.)

Put Professor Juniper in the game! She’s my favorite professor. (Also, give her Minccino as her sync partner.)

Get the full roster of Gym Leaders for every region! Currently, the Gym Leaders who have not appeared in Masters are:

Wattson (Hoenn)

Byron (Sinnoh)

Cilan (Unova)

Chili (Unova)

Cress (Unova)

Drayden (Unova)

Milo (Galar)

Opal (Galar)

Katy (Paldea)

Brassius (Paldea)

Kofu (Paldea)

Ryme (Paldea)

Tulip (Paldea)

"megazardx2: Wait, is Marnie & Scrafty the first F2P Galar sync pair? I thought that was Victor & Spectrier."

What's Marnie and Scrafty?

I was talking about Hop. I discount Victrier because that was an event that, at a guess, has never been repeated and thus isn't accessible. I don't count F2P access as just being free, it has to be free and persistently available. Nothing sucks worse than trying to follow some F2P guide for clearing content and being hit with "Just use this thing that was distributed three years ago and has never once been rerun, it's easy bro just always play the game and never take breaks or start late." If Marnie and Scrafty are a properly available F2P pair in some other metric then they'd be the second, but I don't remember them and assume that came after I left.

[epicspheal]

This is just something I’ve noticed when playing Pokemas but the whole Kanto Trio seems to have a preferred gimmick they used Like they all use Mega Evolution, but Blue has the most mega evolution sync pairs with three (Pidgeot, Aerodactyl and Blastoise) while the others have one a piece. Which when you think about it, makes sense as we know he did study in Kalos so I could see him really latching onto the idea of Mega evolution (although his trainer lodge topics does show that he is interested in Dynamax...) Red seems to prefer Dynamax/Gigantamax with his Snorlax and Pikachu having G-max forms. Which correlates to the TCG card of Red having a G-max Pikachu indicating that he has likely at some point traveled through Galar. If they ever decide to add his Lapras (the next Pokemon I’m assuming he’d own given available lore) they might give him a G-max . And well, Leaf only has Eevee as her other non-Mega sync pair but Eevee uses a Z-move. It’d be interesting to see if they ever decide to add to her Eevee sync pair and have it Gigantamax. Or perhaps when they add the Terastallizing Technique maybe she’ll get one. Also Leaf definitely needs another unit so it would be cool to see if they continued with another Z-move or switched to giving her a Terastallized Pokemon so she could use three types of gimmicks

Now my fire will burn brighter than ever! Leon & Charizard have unlocked their 6* EX style!

[agirlinsearchof]

Headcanons for Pokémon games most likely to be “canon.” But this is just my speculation, probably biased by personal opinion in a few particular cases. I will sometimes use Pokémon Masters as a source, but only when there’s no other evidence to suggest any particular version of events.

Kanto: Yellow, surprisingly! Red’s teams when he is not playable usually have Pikachu, Blastoise, Charizard, and Venusaur. Of the games where he is playable, only Yellow allows the player to obtain all four. And the only reason that makes sense for Red to not evolve his Pikachu is if it didn’t want to for whatever reason, which only happens in Pokémon Yellow.

Johto: While there isn’t one game that can be pinned down as the most likely canonical version of events (Masters featuring both Kris and Lyra as separate, co-existing characters), Gold and HeartGold are least likely to be canon, as Pokémon Masters pairs Silver with Ho-Oh, who the protagonist catches as part of the plot in those games. As such, that leaves Silver, SoulSilver, and Crystal as the more likely options, since Ho-Oh is a completely optional encounter in those games.

Edit for new info: Ethan, who is treated as the Johto protagonist in Masters, has Lugia. His design is also taken from HeartGold and SoulSilver. As such, SoulSilver is most likely the “canon” version of events.

Hoenn: Omega Ruby, with the existence of Zinnia, a character exclusive to those remakes, in Pokémon Masters, and Brendan, in Masters being Norman’s son and thus implied to be the protagonist, having Latios. May can only have Latias in the game’s events when she’s the protagonist in Alpha Sapphire, but there’s not really anything stopping her from catching it after the events of Omega Ruby except Brendan getting there first, but that can only happen through an limited-time event. This would seem to be contradicted by Archie having a Sync Pair with Kyogre, but the only time he has any ownership of Kyogre anyway is his alternate-universe counterpart in USUM.

Sinnoh: Platinum most certainly is. In Pokémon Black and White, Cynthia references a trainer who faced Giratina. The only game where Cynthia witnesses this herself is Pokémon Platinum. Giratina can only be faced in the postgame in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, and events that only happen in the postgame are rarely acknowledged.

Unova: This is perhaps the most subjective one, perhaps befitting the themes of Black and White and their sequels. But, since I believe that on a symbolic level Reshiram fits the protagonist better than Zekrom (as they show N the truth about the relationship between humans and Pokémon, which causes his ideals to shift), I believe Pokémon Black, and by extension Black 2, to be more likely to be the canon version of events. It doesn’t hurt that N’s default Sync Pair in Masters is Zekrom, with a different version with Reshiram only releasing later.

Kalos: Much like Hoenn, I will have to reach for Pokémon Masters for this one. Lysandre’s default Sync Pair is with Yveltal. Since villains in Masters are usually paired with the Pokémon they sought out, this leaves Pokémon Y as the more likely canon version of events (as Yveltal isn’t acknowledged in Pokémon X to my knowledge outside its Pokédex entry, which requires trading with another game.)

Alola: Pokémon Moon, based on Lillie having Lunala as a sync pair but not Solgaleo and the protagonists being based on their Sun and Moon designs but not their Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon designs. (Which I find strange, since most other protagonists are based on their most recent designs as playable characters…)

Galar: Pokémon Sword, since Gloria has Zacian as one of her Sync Pairs, but Victor does not have Zamazenta.

It’s impossible to say yet for Scarlet and Violet as of this writing, since no characters from that game show up in Pokémon Masters, let alone with Koraidon or Miradon, or any other version-exclusive Pokémon, Paradox or otherwise.

Addendum: TL;DR, based mostly on Pokémon Masters while drawing a little bit from the core series games, the most likely “canon” (I use this term very loosely) timeline of events goes Yellow > SoulSilver > Omega Ruby > Platinum > Black > Black 2 > Y > Moon > Sword. Please do not take this too seriously. This was just done for fun.

Sync Pair Stories - A Day with Hop

Transcript

[Game text]: A Day with Hop GO!

[Text Box]: [player name] was training with Hop, and they kept going until they were completely exhausted.

Hop: Phew, I sure worked up a sweat! It really got me fired up!

Leon: You and your Pokémon fought hard. Good effort out there!

Leon: Made me almost want to let out Charizard and join in on all the fun!

Hop: What's wrong? Not satisfied yet?

[Player-selected]: It doesn't look tired at all!

Hop: Yeah! It's so full of energy, even I struggle to keep up!

Hop: Ever since we met, I don't think I've seen it get tired.

Leon: How did you two meet?

Hop: Well, let me tell you how our legend began!

Hop: I met Zapdos when I was exploring the Wild Area in Galar.

Hop: Zapdos loves to battle.

Hop: When it saw my Zamazenta, instead of backing down…

Hop: it charged straight at us without any fear!

Hop: But when I tried to catch it, it ran away at an incredible speed, and it was hard to catch up to.

Leon: Hahaha! That sounds like a lot of work!

Hop: It's been a lot of work ever since we teamed up.

Hop: Zapdos's combativeness hasn't changed! It'll challenge anyone to a battle!

Hop: The reason why I asked [player name] to train with me is…

Hop: I wanted to sharpen my skills, so I'd be ready to battle anyone at any time.

Hop: It's actually nice being with Zapdos, because it's so decisive!

Leon: You must be battling a lot more since you partnered up with Zapdos, right?

Leon: I feel like your skills improved. That's probably why!

Hop: Really?! If that's so, meeting Zapdos has brought me so many good things!

Hop: Speaking of which! Here on Pasio, I had an opportunity to learn about Zapdos from a different region.

Hop: It uses Electric-type moves and is good at flying. It's completely different from Galarian Zapdos!

Leon: Wow, I didn't know that!

Hop: Interesting, right?!

Hop: My goal is to be a Pokémon Professor, but I still wanna battle together with different Pokémon!

[Player-selected]: Let's keep it up!

Hop: Of course! There's still loads I want you to teach me, [player name]!

Hop: Hey, Lee.

Hop: When me and Zapdos get even stronger than we are now…

Leon: Of course! I'll take you on!

Hop: Thanks, Lee! I'll consider that a promise!

Releasing triple master fairs for the Galar rivals for anniversary is retribution for my hubris, assuming I could waste all my gems in February because I wouldn’t have any interest in the anniversary pairs.

Releasing Ball Guy in a variety scout is just giving me the middle finger for wanting to collect all the Galar sync pairs. He’d be a good candidate for a free pair, spotlight at best...why on EARTH is he limited?!
