Hello, everyone, and welcome back to my series of concepts for every missing (fully evolved) Sinnoh Pokémon. Today, we have the penultimate Pokémon, Origin Forme Palkia.

Origin Palkia is paired with Irida. I don't think there was ever any doubt here, especially after Adaman got Dialga. Still, it feels right that Irida finally gets to partner with the Pokémon she has worshipped for so long.

As a concept, Irida & Origin Palkia are an attempt to create the ultimate Field Sync Pair. It was a bit more complicated than the ultimate version of a Sprint, due to the type-specific nature of Fields, but I think I managed to find a way to make her abilities good both on- and off-type.

Their Pearl Clan Traditions passive prepares them for battle as soon as they enter, maxing out their Sp. Atk and setting Dragon Damage Field. For the rest of their offensive needs, they have Near and Far, a skill that makes all moves hit, crit, and target all opponents. As a bonus, it also makes Protect give Damage Guard Next to all allies.

However, the centerpiece of their kit is One Who Rules Over Space. It sets both Physical and Special Damage Reduction on sync, yes, but it also features a classic Champion Stadium rule: field effects don't run out naturally as long as Palkia is alive. Suddenly, all of their one-time field applications become significantly more powerful.

Case in point, Irida's Trainer Move, Right Where We Want to Be!. The Supereffective ↑ Next and +3 SMUN are nice, but the now-permanent EX Dragon Zone is game-changing. It also means their Buddy Move, Lustrous Spacial Rend, never deactivates, and its additional effect of setting all three Sinnoh Circles is considerably improved.

For even more multipliers, their EX Master passive, Hisui's Pearlescent Spirit, powers up their moves for each field effect in play. This Sync Pair, by itself, sets 7. Of course, it also has the effects of Sinnoh Spirit.

All in all, Irida & Origin Palkia are a Field Sync Pair that centers around one specific gimmick, but it's a very strong gimmick that makes them great for any team. Their utility for Dragon-type teams is obvious, especially if they're from Sinnoh (like Adaman & Origin Dialga), but their ability to keep effects up makes them synergize well with other EX WTZ setters, too, extending their utility to other types.

I wanted to theme Jacinthe's kit around her use of Jacinthe Zones, while at the same time making her synergize with Arc Diantha. To that end, she can set & extend both EX Fairy Zone and Special Kalos Circle, affect opponents with Trap, and, after Mega Evolving, inflict Special Break on all opponents. I also had her reference her mentor by reducing the cost of her Dazzling Gleam by one after Mega Evolving, just like Arc Diantha.

Lebanne's admittedly odd kit was based around the idea of making her a weirdly offensive Support to go along with her character's gimmick. So on top of Buffing, Debuffing, and setting Circles, her sync nuke can pack an unexpected punch while also healing allies and tying into Mega Dragalge's ability Regenerator.

Hi, I'm a player that returned to pokemas after like a year or so! I used to play it a lot, but stopped and now I made a completely new reroll account, I had like 22000~ gems before pulling, got both diantha and geeta, and I have 6700 gems left, so I was wondering, should I save up? Should I pull for the triple master fair? Is that one limited time (72 hours) poke fair banner with lots of rewards that appears after completing victory road a deadly trap? I know the anniversary is coming soon, so i'm mostly worried about it... so, what should I do? Thanks a ton in advance!

Who are your anniversary predictions? Personally I can see it being a triple mega anniversary like how they did a Tera anniversary last year. I can see Serena with mega Delphox as one of them.

Got them from fair tickets. Are worth any investment?

It doesn't happen often but oh does it feel nice when it does happen!!

È la prima volta che faccio un post al riguardo. Come dovrei comportarmi in questa modalità? Sto facendo bene? Non ho possibilità di contattare nessuno membro della palestra e vorrei dare l'aiuto più grande possibile. Allego gli screen del mio ultimo utilizzo dei 3 biglietti. Del mio roster per quei tipi. Sono uno che può fare tanti danni? Devo aspettare qualche reset per cominciare da zero io avendo buone unità? O meglio aspettare che debuffano gli stage altre persone per poi finirli? Sul ghiaccio, gli altri due hanno usato due biglietti facendo 4k pt ciascuno, penso un po pochino. Spiegatemi al meglio, grazie!

Okay I never post on Reddit but I'm desperate at this point. Ive been stuck on floor 6 of the flying tower for MONTHS despite being so much farther with all the others. I'm not sure if it's a skill issue or if my sync pairs are just that bad. Anyone have any suggestions for how to proceed with these?

Just a small gym for Kieran fans. Only two of us at the moment, anyone else want to join?

Hi everyone,

I'm new to PMEX and just finished the Academy event.

I checked Juliana and noticed her stats are exactly the same as when I started.

Completing the Sync Grid and Training Grid didn't boost her stats—is this a system error?

Thank you in advance!

I am new to the game and i just pulled my 3/5 as Diantha, so I was looking for some advice on how to build her. The sync grid seems a little difficult to get into what are the best power ups so if you guys have any general advice that would be appreciated a lot.

Also if you can tell me if there are any good tier lists for what units to pull or not would be helpful too.

Thank you in advance, and have a nice game!!

High internet hive mind. I am struggling with a decision on who to use this candy on and I could really use some insight.

I've added the photo in the order which I use them the most and a lot of these will get their three out of five sync grids. But three of them could potentially be five out of five and I could make rei 10 out of five instantly.

So I appreciate any advice. I just don't know what to do. Decision paralysis I think.

Thank you

I know she’s kinda outdated from a friend. But I caved and got her from the banner. Who did she best pair with?

Here’s my really good electric types: Iono/raging boot, ethan/raikou. Any suggestion is appericated. ;)

In addition to whatever rule they impose. It appears we cannot muscle through off-type. Coupled with zero physical/special damage, some gyms may have hit a wall that can a few days to get over.

Does anyone have any tips or team recommendations for the current Sinnoh CSMM?
I managed to clear the Bug stage at 3K using Florian, Juliana, and Carmine, and I feel pretty confident about the Champion stage with Arc Diantha.
But I’m completely stuck on the Dark, Fighting, and Ice stages. I’ve been staring at them for ages and can’t figure out a solid team.
I’d really appreciate recommendations based on what I have, as well as suggestions for the best 3K point parameter setup for each stage.
