==Characteristics==
 +
Synchro Monsters are Extra Deck monsters:
 +
* They cannot exist in the [[hand]] or the [[Main Deck]]; if a Synchro Monster would be moved to the hand or Main Deck, it is returned to the Extra Deck instead.
 +
* If a Synchro Monster is not properly Special Summoned by [[Synchro Summon]] before being sent to the [[Graveyard]] or banished, it cannot be [[Special Summon]]ed from there (even by effects that [[Ignoring the Summoning conditions|ignore Summoning conditions]]).

A [[Synchro Summon]] is the act of Summoning a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck using a Tuner monster with additional non-Tuner monsters. During the Main Phase 1 or 2, the turn player can Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck by [[send]]ing monsters they control to the Graveyard (at least 1 Tuner and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters), provided the total Level of those monsters matches exactly the Level of that Synchro Monster.

A very small number of Synchro Monsters cannot be Synchro Summoned, and lack the Synchro Material line on their card text. Instead, they each describe a separate Special Summoning procedure in their [[Summoning conditions]].

Synchro Monsters require '''[[Tuner Monsters]]''' to be face-up on your Field. When the total [[Level]] of the Tuner monster and any other face-up monsters on your Field exactly matches the Level of the Synchro Monster you wish to Summon (no more or less); by sending them to the [[Graveyard]], you can "Synchro Summon" the Synchro monster.  Some Synchro Monsters require a specific "[[Tuner Monsters|Tuner Monster]]" in order to be Synchro Summoned (such as "[[Junk Synchron]]" for "[[Junk Warrior]]") or monsters of a particular [[Type]] or [[Attribute]] as Material Monsters, but many do not, so they can be in just about any Extra Deck.

There are currently no [[Aqua]] or [[Fish]]-[[Type]] Synchro Monsters in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|TCG]] or [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]].

Strategically speaking, Synchro Monsters allow for a large amount of rapid power to be summoned to the field with relative ease and speed. Most of them have very potent effects in addition to their ease in summoning. They do not necessarily always have card advantage over [[Fusion Monsters]] because a player might use up as many cards getting all of the Material Monsters on the field to perform a Synchro summon in one turn, but they have the advantage of increased flexibility and speed over Fusion Monsters due to the fact that many of them have very unspecific requirements for them to be summoned, so a player with a Tuner monster and a non-Tuner monster on the field will always have one or more options for summoning, especially if card effects that allow Levels to be changed are used.

Psychic End Punisher
"Psychic End Punisher", a Synchro Monster.

CharacteristicsEdit

Synchro Monsters are Extra Deck monsters:

Synchro MaterialsEdit

Main article: Synchro Material

Synchro Materials are the requisite monsters needed to Synchro Summon the Synchro Monster. Each Synchro Monster lists its required Synchro Materials in the first line of its card text.

Synchro SummoningEdit

Main article: Synchro Summon

A Synchro Summon is the act of Summoning a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck using a Tuner monster with additional non-Tuner monsters. During the Main Phase 1 or 2, the turn player can Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster from the Extra Deck by sending monsters they control to the Graveyard (at least 1 Tuner and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters), provided the total Level of those monsters matches exactly the Level of that Synchro Monster.

Alternate Summoning ConditionEdit

Main articles: Cannot be Synchro Summoned and Can be Special Summoned either by Synchro Summon or by its own condition

A very small number of Synchro Monsters cannot be Synchro Summoned, and lack the Synchro Material line on their card text. Instead, they each describe a separate Special Summoning procedure in their Summoning conditions. Such Summoning conditions can be compared to Contact Fusion, which involve Special Summoning Fusion Monsters with their Summoning conditions rather than by Fusion Summoning.

"Black-Winged Assault Dragon" is the only Synchro Monster that can both be Synchro Summoned and be Special Summoned by a procedure specified in its Summoning condition.

  • In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Jakob stated that mankind's excessive use of Synchro Monsters caused Ener-D to spin faster, producing more energy and thus accelerating human evolution.
  • "Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon" is the only Synchro Monster that specifies the Level of the non-Tuner monster required for its Synchro Summon.
  • In the Arabic dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Synchro Monsters were translated as "وحوش الدمج" "wohoush eldamj", and Tuners "modmej" which is the literal Arabic translation of Fusion Monsters. In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, "wohoush eldamj" was reverted to Fusion Monsters, and Synchro Monsters and Tuners were left untranslated.
