Recommended Sync Pairs to Partner with Mallow (Palentine’s 2023) & Appletun

Cyrus & Palkia

Mallow (Palentine’s 2023) & Appletun fill the unique niche of a support sync pair that both heals their teammates and lowers their opponent’s Sp. Def, so pair them with partners whose moves drain the user’s HP. Cyrus & Palkia are a powerful Dragon-type sync pair that take damage with each use of New World Order! This move maxes out Cyrus & Palkia’s Sp. Atk and Speed but leaves the pair heavily hurt. Mallow (Palentine’s 2023) & Appletun can reverse that HP loss thanks to Team Fist Bump 9, which heals all allied sync pairs when Mallow (Palentine’s 2023) & Appletun land a successful attack. Apple Acid lowers the Sp. Def of an opponent, setting up Cyrus & Palkia to deal even greater damage. Cyrus & Palkia can be acquired after completing New World Dilemma in the Legendary Adventures section of the main story.

Zinnia & Rayquaza

Zinnia & Rayquaza are as all-out as sync pairs come. Stellar Imagination! raises their Attack and Sp. Atk by two stat ranks and their Speed and Accuracy by one stat rank, but lowers their Defense and Sp. Def by two stat ranks. Mallow (Palentine’s 2023) & Appletun can patch up their Defense with Order Up! and keep the pair healthy with Team Fist Bump 9. Use Apple Acid to drop the Sp. Def of an opposing sync pair, then hit them hard with Zinnia & Rayquaza’s Draco Meteor. Zinnia & Rayquaza can be acquired after completing The Dragon That Rules the Sky in the Legendary Adventures section of the main story.
