List of sync pairs

Certain sync pairs, including some Trainers that do not have Key Stones in the core series, Mega Evolve their Pokémon while performing their sync move. After Mega Evolving, their sync partner will benefit from multipliers applied to all stats, chosen so that their total sum is 6.4, and sometimes different moves and passive skills for the rest of the battle. As a trade-off, most sync pairs that Mega Evolve have a sync move that is weaker than usual—160 base power instead of the usual 200 or 250.

The following sync pairs can Mega Evolve:
