'''Dark Synchro Monsters''' (Japanese: ダークシンクロモンスター ''Dāku Shinkuro Monsutā'') are a type of [[Monster Card]] exclusive to the anime, manga, and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force]]'' video games. The color of their card frame is black. They all are a counterpart to [[Synchro Monster]]s, that either have [[negative Negative Level]]s (in the anime and video games) that are represented by blue orbs with purple stars, or are Level 0(in the manga). The color of their card frame is a dark grey with a brownish tint. These cards are placed in the [[Extra Deck]]. Dark Synchro Monsters are considered entirely different from normal Synchro Monsters.

Dark Synchro Monsters are [[Dark Synchro Summon]]ed by [[send]]ing 1 [[Dark Tuner monster]] and 1 non-[[Tuner monster]] to the [[Graveyard]]. The non-[[Tuner monster]]'s [[Level]] minus the [[Dark Tuner monster]]'s [[Level]] must be equal to the Dark Synchro Monster's negative [[Level]].

Their In the anime, their negative Level stars are left-aligned (like the [[Rank]]sof an [[Xyz Monster]]), contrasting to the right-aligned positive Levels. Their black , while their dark gray card frame contrasts with the white card frame of regular Synchro Monsters. Dark Synchro Monsters are also [[Synchro Monster]]s, and Dark Synchro Summoning is a form of [[Synchro Summon]]ing.

Dark Synchro Monsters debuted in {{episode|5ds|27|ref}}. They are also present in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' [[(manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 027|episode 27]]. They are also present in '' manga and the video games [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 4]], [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5|5]], and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 6|6]].

Because of the greater difficulty in Summoning them, Dark Synchro Monsters are generally more powerful than Synchro Monsters of their equivalent levelLevel.

There No monsters are no designated as Dark Synchro Monsters in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]''/''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|TCG]]''. All Dark Synchro Monsters have been released as regular [[Synchro Monster]]s in the OCG/TCG; their effects have also , with either been changed and/or modified except "[[Zeman the Ape King]]". Although they don't use [[Dark Tuner monster]]s, they still require [[DARK]]-[[Attribute]] [[Tuner monster]]s regular (except "[[Moon Dragon Quilla]]" and "[[Ultimaya Tzolkin]]"but highly specific) to be Synchro Summoned. Also, Dark Synchro Monsters Summoning requirements or a special Summoning condition that appeared in the anime require the Type of the non-[[Tuner monster]]s to be the same Type as then non-Tuner monster that was used for their [[simulates a Dark Synchro Summon]] in anime (e.g. in the anime, [[Grady]] Dark Synchro Summoned "[[Frozen Fitzgerald (anime)|Frozen Fitzgerald]]" using "[[Dark Tuner Catastrogue]]" and the [[Beast]]-[[Type]] non-Tuner "[[Blizzard Lizard]]"; as such, the ''TCG''/''OCG'' card "[[Frozen Fitzgerald]]" requires Beast-Type non-Tuner monsters).

Dark Synchro Monsters from the anime (except "[[Moon Dragon Quilla]]") require 1 [[DARK]]-[[Attribute]] [[Tuner monster]] (instead of [[Dark Tuner monster]]s, which do not exist in the ''OCG''/''TCG'') and non-[[Tuner monster]]s of the same Type as then non-Tuner monster that was used for their [[Dark Synchro Summon]] in anime (e.g. in the anime, [[Grady]] Dark Synchro Summoned "[[Frozen Fitzgerald (anime)|Frozen Fitzgerald]]" using "[[Blizzard Lizard]]"; as such, the ''OCG''/''TCG'' card "[[Frozen Fitzgerald]]" requires Beast-Type non-Tuner monsters). The two Dark Synchro Monsters from the manga, "[[Ultimate God Ultimaya Tzolkin (manga)|Ultimate God Ultimaya Tzolkin]]" and "[[Ultimate Phantasm God Ultimitl Bishbalkin the Bishbaalkin (manga)|Ultimate Legendary Phantasm GodUltimitl Bishbaalkin]]" , are [[Level]] 0 and have 12 Synchro Monsters with a Special Summoning conditions that more closely simulate the Summon of condition almost identical to a Dark Synchro MonstersSummon, as suggested by being printed as Level 0 monsters. They require [[send]]ing any 1 Level 5 or higher Tuner and any 1 Level 5 or higher non-Tuner with the same Level as each other from your the player's [[field]] to the [[Graveyard]].  "[[Ursarctic]]" Synchro Monsters also have a special Summoning condition where the difference between the Levels of the pseudo-materials is used to perform the Summon, as that is what has to match the Synchro Monster's Level rather than the sum. The first Level 1 Synchro Monsters, something impossible to equal 0 Synchro Summon, belong to this archetype, and do not care which Level is higher. Higher-Level "Ursarctic" Synchro Monsters require the Tuner to have a higher Level than the non-Tuner. Neither the manga method nor the "Ursactic" method is treated as a Synchro Summoning; the monsters sent to the GY are not considered Synchro Materials, unlike in the anime and manga. In fact, these 2 groups of monsters are also the only Synchro Monsters that [[cannot be Synchro Summoned]]. == List ==This is a list of ''OCG''/''TCG'' cards that are Level 0Dark Synchro Monsters in other media.{{card query|[[misc::Dark Synchro Monster]]|medium=official}}

[[File:FrozenFitzgerald-JP-Anime-5D.png{{Show card image|center]] ==Trivia==* A number of the Dark Synchro Monsters that have appeared have had a negative [[Level]] in direct opposition to a [[Synchro Monster]] the [[Dark Signer]]'s opponent had Summoned. "Frozen Fitzgerald" was negative 5 while "[[Junk Warrior]]" was 5. "[[Hundred Eyes Dragon]]" was negative 8 while "[[Stardust Dragon]]" was 8.
