About Theme Skills

Type Skills have been powered up as Theme Skills!

Theme Skills

Type Skills have been powered up as a part of the new Theme Skills. Sync Pairs are now tagged with themes that show various information, such as home region. You can now activate skills by gathering up Sync Pairs that share the same themes in a team. Compared to Type Skills alone, the variety of Sync Pairs you can now use skills with is even greater!

Note: Effects may differ by Role even if the theme is the same.
Note: Theme Skills activate when 2 or more Sync Pairs on a team have the same theme, strengthening all members.

For example, If a Strike Sync Pair has the Kanto theme:

Skill: Kanto Strike

• Raises the Attack and Sp. Atk of all allied sync pairs.

If a Support Sync Pair has the Kanto theme:
Skill: Kanto Support

• Raises the maximum HP of all allied sync pairs.

If a Tech Sync Pair has the Kanto theme:
Skill: Kanto Tech

• Raises the Attack and Sp. Atk of all allied sync pairs.
• Raises the maximum HP of all allied sync pairs.

Note: The effectiveness of the Theme Skill depends on its current level.

The effects are stackable, so strengthen your Sync Pairs by activating as many Theme Skills as you can! Plus, a new filter has been added, so you can now search for Sync Pairs by Theme Skill theme. Try creating a team with lots of skills. Themes for each Sync Pair are planned to be added in the future. We hope you look forward to the debut of new themes!

Also, when 2 or more Sync Pairs with the same theme are in your team, a special animation will appear at the start of the battle. Try combining different Sync Pairs to make your perfect team!

Note: The Theme Skill animation can be turned off or set to play once per day for each combination of Sync Pairs via the battle settings menu.

Event Details

Opponent sync pairs in this event are weak against Fire types, Rock types, and Bug types. You can prepare your favorite Fire-type, Rock-type, and Bug-type sync pairs and take them on!

Limited-Time Incubator

One limited-time incubator will be added to Bellis’s Lab for the duration of this event only. Try hatching lots of Eggs during the event period! Note: If an Egg is still in the limited-time incubator when the event ends, the limited-time incubator will remain active until that Egg hatches.

Lineup Bonuses

You have an increased chance of receiving Eggs if you take on event battles using teams that feature specific sync pairs. The more of these sync pairs you place in your lineup, the higher your Egg reward rate will be!

Applicable Sync Pairs

• Player Character Sync Pairs Egg reward rate: ×1.4!
• Fire-type, Rock-type, and Bug-type Player Character sync pairs Egg reward rate: ×1.8!
• Fire-type, Rock-type, and Bug-type sync pairs Egg reward rate: ×1.2!

The lineup bonus is ×1 by default and varies according to which sync pairs are on the team.

Example: If you place a ×1.8, a ×1.2, and a ×1.2 sync pair on your team, your chances of receiving an Egg will be increased by ×2.2.
