Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland are a Normal-type tech sync pair whose Rebuff Reducing Hit (Weakness) passive skill lowers the target’s Type Rebuff of its weakness type by one rank the first time Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland’s attack is successful.

Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland won’t do very much damage with their modest Tackle attack, but their sync move Illuminating Normal Impact really unleashes the pain when their target’s Defense has been lowered. Sonia & Yamper have the unique passive skill Defense Crush 9, which lowers their target’s Defense by one stat rank each time they land a successful move. Each time Sonia & Yamper successfully use Tackle, Defense Crush 9 drops that opponent’s Defense and paves the way for Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland’s Illuminating Normal Impact to really ruff up their opponent. What a paws-itively wonderful pairing! Sonia & Yamper are available to scout from the general pool of 5★ sync pairs, as well as from the 5★-Guaranteed Ticket Scout and 5★-Guaranteed Galar Ticket Scout.
Big buffs benefit Olivia & Lycanroc as they hurl damage with Rock Throw and Stone Edge. Since Olivia & Lycanroc are a physical strike sync pair, they benefit immeasurably from Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland’s B Leer, which reduces their target’s Attack, Defense, and Speed by two stat ranks. Steven (Special Costume) & Stoutland can further affect the damage Olivia & Lycanroc dole out to opponents weak to Rock-type moves with Super Effective ↑ and Rebuff Reducing Hit (Weakness). This fetching combination is certain to leave opponents howling. Olivia & Lycanroc are available to scout from the general pool of 5★ sync pairs, as well as from the 5★-Guaranteed Ticket Scout and 5★-Guaranteed Alola Ticket Scout.
Good luck closing the case, Trainers!
