Sync grid: Difference between revisions

To activate a tile, the player must use a certain number of '''sync orbs''' (Japanese: '''バディドロップ''' ''Buddy Drop'') which are specific to the sync pair. Only tiles adjacent to another activated tile can be activated. Some tiles may have additional requirements. For example, certain tiles will require a certain sync move level before the tile can be activated. Tiles located further away from the sync stone tend to have more-strict requirements.

Except for the basic grid skills surrounding the sync stone, activating tiles require a certain amount of energy. There is a maximum energy of 60 which means the player will be unable to unlock the entire sync grid for a sync pair. The sync grid can be reset for free to deactivate all tiles and regain all energy and sync orbs. Each tile can also be reset separately. If a tile required for other tiles to activate is reset, those tiles will be reset too.  

Originally, the Sync Grid feature was unlocked by completing {{DL|PML Arc|Chapter 11: Alola's Rising Stars}} on Normal difficulty. Starting from version 1.12.0, the Sync Grid feature is unlocked by completing {{DL|PML Arc|Chapter 2: New Friends, New Foes}} on Normal difficulty.

* [[File:Masters Sync Orb.png|32px|link=]] '''Sync orbs''' are blue orbs that are exclusive to each sync pair. These sync orbs are primarily available through converting co-op sync orbs to sync pair-specific sync orbs, or by resetting a sync grid to convert all tiles to sync orbs.  

* [[File:Masters Co-op Sync Orb.png|32px|link=]] '''Co-op sync orbs''' are yellow orbs which can be used on any sync pair's sync grid. These orbs can be obtained through the Sync Orb Drill in the Training Area, with a chance to obtain up to 900 orbs per day. 10 co-op sync orbs can be exchanged for one sync pair-specific sync orb on the Sync Grid menu.  

*Blue tiles, which are found on every sync grid, deal specifically with the sync pair stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, Speed).

*Green tiles provide adjustments to the accuracy or power of a move listed in the tile.

*Red tiles give [[passive skill]]s specific to the listed move in the tile.

*Yellow tiles give passive skills not necessarily limited to one move.

*Rainbow tiles provide adjustments to the power of [[sync move]]s.

*Orange and purple tiles provide adjustments to the power of a Max-move or G-Max move listed in the tile.

==Sync Grid Expansion==

At the launch of sync grids, most sync pairs started with basic grids, containing only the six tiles surrounding the sync stone.

Over time, some basic grids may be updated into expanded grids. Additionally, some sync pairs released after the introduction of grids came with expanded grids already available.

Generally, the design of the expanded grid is dependent on the type of sync pair (Strike, Support, Tech).

 

However, some grids instead use a snowflake shape:

The recurring [[Pokémon Masters Day]] event, which occurs on the 25th of each month, tends to coincide with sync pairs upgrading from a basic grid to an expanded grid.

There are two ways this can apply: the new tiles can be close to the sync stone, or far from it.

If the new tiles are close:

If the new tiles are far:

* Two of the extra tiles will fill the "holes" present on the grid layout, two will be at the top edge of the grid, and two will be at the bottom edge of the grid.

Similar to grid expansion, some sync pairs may receive their additional tiles during [[Pokémon Masters Day]] each month.

Legendary event sync pairs can receive a pair-specific power boost from the [[villain event]] corresponding to their region.

The extra tiles added by a power boost act as close-to-stone tiles, as described above.

* Legendary Event sync pairs can only access their additional six close tiles if their power boost item is collected. These sync pairs are denoted with an asterisk (*).
