* 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]]).

'''Synchro Monsters''' are the newest type of [[Monster Card]], first released in [[Starter Deck 2008]]. The colour of their card frame is white. These cards are included in the [[Extra Deck]].
+
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 Monster]]s with their Summoning conditions rather than by [[Fusion Summon]]ing.
  
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 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.
+
"[[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.
  
Because Synchro Monsters belong in the Extra Deck, they return there whenever they would be returned to the hand or [[Main Deck]], like [[Fusion Monsters]] before.<sup><font class=plainlinks>[http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=43677&event=FE0006 ref]</font></sup> Also, like Fusion Monsters, they cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard if they were not properly Synchro Summoned first.

Some players have begun to use the term 'Synchronize' or 'Tune/Tuning' to then list which [[Tuner Monster]] and non-Tuner monsters will be sent to the Graveyard when they perform a [[Synchro Summon]] and summoning a Synchro Monster ("Tune" is more common, because it's the term used in the TV show).

There are currently no [[Aqua]], [[Fish]] or [[Divine-Beast]]-[[Type]] Synchro Monsters in [[TCG]] or [[OCG]]. However, they have released Synchros for certain [[Archetype]]s of monsters, including the [[Aliens]], [[Iron Chain]], [[XX-Saber]]s, and [[Blackwing]] monsters.

[[XX-Saber Gottoms]] is currently the only Synchro Monster that you can use more than 1 Tuner Monster for its Synchro Summon since in its conditions it says " 1 or more [[EARTH]] monsters", not "1 or more non-Tuner monster(s)".

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

Synchro Monsters (Japanese: シンクロモンスター Shinkuro Monsutā, abbreviated シンクロモンスター in card text since Duelist Alliance) are a type of monsters that must be Synchro Summoned. Their card frame is colored in white.

Characteristics[edit]

Synchro Monsters are Extra Deck monsters:

Synchro Materials[edit]

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 Summoning[edit]

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 Condition[edit]

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.

Trivia[edit]

  • 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.
