A sync pair's EX role can be unlocked after raising the pair to {{6EX}} and using the corresponding roll cake, after which the pair will receive a stat boost and an additional effect on their [[sync move]].


Sync pairs normally have one of five possible roles: Strike, Support, Tech, Sprint, or Field. A pair's EX role will also be one of these five, but will differ from the pair's original role. The EX role of a given sync pair is pre-determined, meaning the player cannot freely select which role to have as a pair's EX role.

Not all sync pairs have EX roles, though EX roles are planned to be given to additional sync pairs in the future. This feature is currently limited to 5★ sync pairs, though like 6★ EX, this may be expanded to 3★ and 4★ sync pairs later on.

Since the debut of {{sync|Red|Articuno|Champion}}, newly introduced 5★ sync pairs have unlockable EX roles from the beginning, and existing 5★ sync pairs that feature again in [[sync pair scout]]s gain an EX role.
