The battle-blazing Trial Captain of Akala Island’s Wela Volcano Park returns with an iconic Fire-type partner originally from the Kanto region. Kiawe & Arcanine are a Fire-type tech sync pair that can lower the Sp. Atk of burned opponents with their Hit Burned Opp: Sp. Atk ↓9 passive skill and lower the Sp. Def of trapped opponents with Hit Trapped Opp: Sp. Def ↓9. With Kiawe & Arcanine’s handy Extend Range passive skill, you can burn and trap all opposing sync pairs and reduce their Sp. Atk and Sp. Def with searing speed.

Recommended Sync Pairs to Partner with Kiawe & Arcanine
-
Kiawe & Marowak
Double the fiery spirit on your team by adding Kiawe & Marowak to the mix! Kiawe & Arcanine shine when supporting damage-dealing sync pairs, but their own Dancing Together Inferno Overdrive can always use some buffs! Kiawe & Marowak’s Dancing Fever! can raise Kiawe & Arcanine’s Sp. Atk and critical-hit rate by one stat rank each time it’s used. So two uses of Dancing Fever! combined with Kiawe & Arcanine’s Come On By! will fully raise Kiawe & Arcanine’s Sp. Atk by six stat ranks in total. Kiawe & Marowak 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.

Silver & Ho-Oh
This Fire-type strike sync pair is a powerful damage dealer that can choose to focus on doling out either physical damage or special damage. When teamed up with Kiawe & Arcanine, Silver & Ho-Oh’s Overheat and Solar Beam benefit from Kiawe & Arcanine’s Sp. Def–dropping passive skill. However, Silver & Ho-Oh’s sync move, Power-Hungry Sacred Fire, does physical damage, so use Kiawe & Arcanine’s Dancing Together Inferno Overdrive to truly maximize an opponent’s minimized Sp. Def—toss in a use of Come On By! to really heat this strategy up. Silver & Ho-Oh can be obtained after completing Pure Hearts and Rainbow Wings in the Legendary Adventures portion of the main story.
