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

'''Synchro Monsters''' (Japanese: シンクロモンスター ''Shinkuro Monsutā'', abbreviated {{Ruby|Ｓ|シンクロ}}モンスター in [[card text]] since ''[[Duelist Alliance]]'') are a [[Monster card type|type]] of [[monster]]s that must be [[Synchro Summon]]ed. Their card frame is colored in white.

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.
+
==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]]).
  
−
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,' 'Sync,' or 'Tune/Tuning' to then list which [[Tuner Monsters|Tuner Monster]] and non-Tuner monsters will be sent to the Graveyard when they perform a [[Synchro Summon]] and summoning a Synchro Monster.

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]]. However, Konami has released Synchros for certain [[Archetype]]s of monsters, including the [[Aliens]], [[Iron Chain]], [[XX-Saber]]s, and [[Blackwing]] monsters.

===Synchro Summoning===

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.

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.

A very small number of Synchro Monsters cannot be Synchro Summoned, and lack the Synchro Material line on their card text.

Several Warrior-type Synchro Monsters, especially the ones used by Yusei in the anime, actually resemble other types of monsters than the ones printed on the cards (Junk Warrior, Drill Warrior and Turbo Warrior all look like Machine-types and Nitro Warrior looks like a Fiend-type).

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.
