'''Synchro Monsters''' are a type of [[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.
 +
 
 +
==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]]).
 +
 
 +
===Synchro Materials===
 +
{{Main|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]].
  
−
To be Summoned, Synchro Monsters require [[Tuner monster]]s 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 [[send]]ing them to the [[Graveyard]], you can [[Synchro Summon]] the Synchro Monster. The monsters used are reffered to as [[Synchro Material Monster]]s. 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]] and can't be special summoned except by there own summoning effect.
+
===Synchro Summoning===
 +
{{Main|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 [[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.
  
−
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 Summon]]ed from the [[Graveyard]] if they were not properly Synchro Summoned first.
+
===Alternate Summoning Condition===
 +
{{Main|Cannot be Synchro Summoned|Can be Special Summoned either by Synchro Summon or by its own condition}}
  
−
Some players have begun to use the term 'Synchronize,' 'Sync,' 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.
+
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.

(i.e. "I tune my "[[Quillbolt Hedgehog]]" [LV2] and "[[Speed Warrior]]" [LV2] with my "Junk Synchron" [LV3] to Synchro Summon "[[Junk Archer]]" [LV7, requires "Junk Synchron" as the Tuner]!")
 
  
−
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 Synchro Monsters for certain [[archetype]]s of monsters, including "[[Alien]]", "[[Six Samurai]]", "[[Iron Chain]]", "[[XX-Saber]]", and "[[Blackwing]]".
+
"[[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.
  
−
[[Machine]]-[[Type]] monsters are currently the most diverse monsters by Level, as they have Synchro Monsters that are Levels: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12; thanks to the addition of "[[Formula Synchron]]" and "[[T.G. Halberd Cannon]]" meaning that only a Level 11 Synchro Monster is needed to complete the entire spectrum of Synchro Summoning (as you cannot Synchro Summon a Level one Synchro Monster without the help of card effects).

==Examples==

Strategically speaking, Synchro Monsters allow for a large amount of rapid power to be Summoned 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 non-specific 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.  
+
==Trivia==
 +
* 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.
  
−
==Role in the anime==
+
* "[[Flower Cardian Lightflare]]" has the highest [[ATK]] of all Synchro Monsters, with 5000 ATK. "[[Superheavy Samurai Steam Train King]]" has the highest [[DEF]] of all Synchro Monsters, with 4800 DEF.
−
Synchro Monsters have the power to manipulate [[Ener-D]], allowing humans to accelerate their evolution. It was a vital part of the plot of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' and the series antagonists' intentions. However, it was never explained exactly how Synchro Monsters obtained this ability.
 
  
−
Similar to how Synchro Monsters replaced Ritual and Fusion monsters when ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's'' started, [[Xyz Monster]]s have slowly started replacing Synchro Monsters since ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' started. New Booster Packs, Starter Decks, and Duel Terminals now focus on Xyz Monsters and included almost no more Synchro Monsters and no Synchro Monsters have appeared in ''ZEXAL'', save for "[[Iron Chain Dragon]]" and only in the preview for [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 001|episode 1]].

* "[[Sea Dragon Lord Gishilnodon]]" is the only Synchro Monster that specifies the Level of the non-Tuner monster required for its Synchro Summon.

In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', "wohoush eldamj" was reverted to Fusion Monsters, and Synchro Monsters and Tuners were left untranslated.

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.
