Tierno & Crawdaunt get down as a Dark-type support sync pair that excels at tanking damage and supporting allied sync pairs that use physical attack moves. They have the Hit: HP Recovery 9 passive skill, which restores Tierno & Crawdaunt’s HP when their attack move is successful—this makes for a strong tanking combination when combined with the gradual healing effect from Tierno & Crawdaunt’s Trainer move, All Right! This Trainer move also increases the Attack of all allied sync pairs by four stat ranks and the critical-hit rate of all allied sync pairs by two stat ranks.
Once Tierno & Crawdaunt get their team into a rhythm with a raised Attack stat and critical-hit rate, nothing will stop their jam. Their passive skill Team Attack ↓ Immunity prevents the Attack stat of all allied sync pairs from being lowered. This can be especially helpful against tricky stages in Champion Stadium that would ordinarily require you to use sync pairs with special attack moves instead. On the damaging side of things, Tierno & Crawdaunt can chip in with Leer, which reduces the Defense of all opposing sync pairs by one stat rank.
For more details on Tierno & Crawdaunt’s passive skills and moves, check out their in-game sync pair scout screen. Tierno & Crawdaunt are available to scout from March 17, 2024, at 11:00 p.m. PDT to April 2, 2024, at 10:59 p.m. PDT.
Recommended Sync Pairs to Partner with Tierno & Crawdaunt
The Masked Royal & Incineroar
Dancing and wrestling may be different activities, but these two sync pairs work together like a charm. The Masked Royal & Incineroar can raise their Attack stat by a total of four stat ranks with two uses of X Attack—this is good, but Tierno & Crawdaunt can raise their Attack stat by the same amount with a single use of All Right! When used together in a single turn, this drastically raises The Masked Royal & Incineroar’s Attack stat by six stat ranks and gets them doing damage more quickly with Brutal Swing and Darkest Lariat.
The Masked Royal & Incineroar 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.
Serena & Fletchling
Serena and Tierno are friends to the end, and these two sync pairs have solid synergy to match! Serena & Fletchling are a Flying-type sync pair with an emphasis on using physical attack moves, but with only two uses of X Attack at their disposal, they are unable to fully raise their Attack stat on their own. But Tierno & Crawdaunt can patch that up with a single use of All Right! and make it easier for them to do more damage. With these two sync pairs sharing the Kalos theme skill, they’ll also get bonus stats when paired together.
Serena & Fletchling can be acquired by reaching friendship level 100 with Serena in the Trainer Lodge. You can invite Serena to the Trainer Lodge after scouting Serena & Delphox from the general pool of 5★ sync pairs, as well as from the 5★-Guaranteed Ticket Scout and 5★-Guaranteed Kalos Ticket Scout.
