Learn how the Synchronize ability in Pokémon Platinum affects opponents with status conditions and its out-of-battle effect.
Pokémon with Synchronize: Abra, Kadabra, Alakazam, Mew, Natu, Xatu, Espeon, Umbreon, Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir.
Ability Effect: If your Pokémon is attacked with a Poison, Paralyze, or Burn status-inflicting move, the opponent receives the same status condition, unless the opponent has a resistance to that specific condition.
Out of battle: When a Pokémon with the Synchronize ability is the lead Pokémon in your party, 1 in 2 wild Pokémon encounters will have the same status condition as the lead Pokémon.
- This ability is particularly useful for spreading status conditions to opponents in battle.
- Leading with a Synchronize Pokémon can help you encounter wild Pokémon with specific desired status conditions.
