'''Synchro Monsters''' are the newest type of [[Monster Card]], first released in [[Starter Deck 2008]]. The color of their card frame is white. These cards are included in the [[Extra Deck]].

Synchro Monsters require '''[[Tuner Monsters]]''' to be [[Summon]]ed. When the total [[Level]] of the Tuner monster and the other monsters on your field exactly matches the Synchro Monster's Level (no more or less), by sending them to the [[Graveyard]], you can 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 others do not.

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]]).

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.

Synchro Monsters may be considered a more refined version of an older method of summoning monsters from the [[Fusion Deck]] known as [[Contact Fusion]].  Both [[Contact Fusion]] and [[Synchro Summon]]ing simply require certain monsters to be on the field in order to summon the desired monster; the main difference is that Contact Fusion does not require the player to keep track of the number of levels of the monsters on the field, and the cards used for the summon are sent to the [[Graveyard]].

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]].

Some players have begun to use the term 'Synchronize' or 'Tune' to describe the fusion of a [[Tuner Monster]] with non-tuner monsters immediately before performing a [[Synchro Summon]] and summoning a Synchro Monster.

Synchro Monsters have not yet been released in all types of monsters. Currently, Synchro Monsters have yet to exist in the [[TCG]] or [[OCG]] as [[Aqua]], [[Fish]], [[Insect]], [[Divine-Beast]] or [[Rock]]-[[Type]] monsters. However, they have already been released in certain [[Archetype]]s of monsters including the [[Aliens]], [[Iron Chain]] and [[Blackwing]] monsters.

Synchro Monsters (Japanese: シンクロモンスター Shinkuro Monsutā, abbreviated Ｓ（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]

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 Summoning[edit]

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 Condition[edit]

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.

Examples[edit]

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.
