Galar’s Poké Ball enthusiast is visiting Pasio for the first time—and to celebrate, a variety of special events will take place alongside Ball Guy & Amoonguss’s debut. Log in daily during the Ball Guy Welcome Rally from March 20, 2023, at 11:00 p.m. PDT to April 6, 2023, at 10:59 p.m. PDT to collect various Poké Ball replicas and earn rewards from the Mission Bingo screen. Trainers can also level up their Poison gear by participating in co-op battles during the Collecta-ball Poison Gear event. This gear is perfect for raising the stats of Poison-type sync pairs like Ball Guy & Amoonguss!

Ball Guy & Amoonguss are a Poison-type support sync pair that’s ready to cheer on Pasio sync pairs with their passive skill Team Hit Me Up 9!, which grants a team-wide stat boost. This passive skill raises one of the following stats of all allied sync pairs by one stat rank when Ball Guy & Amoonguss are hit by an attack move: Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, or Speed. Ball Guy & Amoonguss can also use On the Ball! to raise the critical-hit rate of all allied sync pairs by one stat rank.

Ball Guy & Amoonguss will be available to scout until April 6, 2023, at 10:59 p.m. PDT.

Recommended Pairs to Partner with Ball Guy & Amoonguss

Shauntal & Chandelure

Ball Guy & Amoonguss can conceivably raise any stat rank with Team Hit Me Up 9!, but there’s always a bit of randomness. Since Shauntal & Chandelure can raise their Sp. Atk on their own with X Sp. Atk, they don’t need to rely on random stat boosts, but they do benefit nicely from the critical-hit rate boost On the Ball! provides. They can also use Ball Guy & Amoonguss’s Destructive Touch 9 to bolster their Hex move, which doubles in power when the target is affected by a status condition. Shauntal & Chandelure are available to scout from the general pool of 4★ sync pairs.

Iris & Haxorus

It’s important to keep a clear mind during battle, and that’s the key to success for Iris & Haxorus. The Dragon-type strike sync pair can deal plenty of damage with Outrage but will inevitably be left confused. This makes it difficult to string attacks together in a close battle. Thankfully, Ball Guy & Amoonguss can instantly clear up Iris & Haxorus’s confusion with On the Ball! And since Ball Guy & Amoonguss can use Underhanded Refresh 9 to regularly refresh On the Ball!, they’ll always be ready to help Iris & Haxorus wreak havoc. Iris & Haxorus can be obtained after completing Chapter 9 of the main story.
