Lear is hosting a mystery game, and Shauna is given the role of detective’s assistant. Together with her new partner, Klefki, they’ll unlock the clues to solving the case. Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki are a Steel-type support sync pair that can defend allies against both status effects and stat reduction when they use their Trainer move, I Think I’ve Got It! This move also raises the critical-hit rate of all allied sync pairs by two stat ranks.
Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki are available to scout until May 1, 2023, at 10:59 p.m. PDT.

Recommend Pairs to Partner with Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki
Hau & Alolan Raichu
Most strike sync pairs benefit from the critical-hit rate boost Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki can dole out with I Think I’ve Got It! Hau & Alolan Raichu are no exception: the pair can raise their own Sp. Atk and Speed but not their critical-hit rate. Hau & Alolan Raichu also can’t fully max out their Sp. Atk, but Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki might be able to give them that last little boost with Team Stat Steal 9, which can raise one stat of all allies at random. Hau & Alolan Raichu can be obtained after completing Chapter 11 of the main story.
Wikstrom & Aegislash
As Steel-type users from Kalos, Wikstrom and Shauna play off each other perfectly. Wikstrom & Aegislash can either go on the defensive with King’s Shield or step into the fray with En Garde! Since Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki benefit from taking damage thanks to their Retaliatory Stat Steal 9 passive skill, Wikstrom & Aegislash can focus on raising their own Attack and doing damage with Iron Head while Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki buff in the background. Wikstrom & Aegislash’s sync move, Shining Knight Iron Head, also increases in power the more their target’s Attack has been lowered—so use Shauna (Special Costume) & Klefki’s Team Stat Steal 9 and Retaliatory Stat Steal 9 to drain that opponent’s Attack. Wikstrom & Aegislash are available to scout from the general pool of 4★ sync pairs.
