In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|anime]], while Synchro Summoning, the Tuner monster is said to be '''tuned''' with the other monsters.
In the anime, many characters have [[Summon chants|chants]] for some of their Synchro Monsters, which they recite while Synchro Summoning them. Additionally, anime characters now have personalized backgrounds and other graphics for Synchro Summons (most noticeably [[Dark GlassBruno|Vizor]]).
==How to Summon a [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]]==
During your [[Main Phase 1]] or [[Main Phase 2|2]], when the total [[Level]] of a '''[[Tuner Monsters|Tuner Monster]]''' and 1 or more Non-[[Tuner Monsters|Tuner Monster(s)]] you control is equal to the [[Level]] of a '''[[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]]''' in your [[Extra Deck]], you can perform a '''Synchro Summon'''. These '''[[Tuner Monsters|Tuner Monster]]''' and the non-[[Tuner Monsters|Tuner Monster(s)]] will be called the '''[[Synchro Material Monsters]]'''.
In order to Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck (under normal conditions), you must declare the action and send the Synchro Material Monsters to the Graveyard. After [[send|sending]] the monsters from your side of the field to the [[Graveyard]], you then take the '''[[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]]''' from your [[Extra Deck]] and place it in [[face-up]] [[Attack Position]] or [[Defense Position]] on your side of the field.

== Additional Rules ==
* A '''Synchro Summon''' is one kind of [[Special Summon]], like [[Fusion Summon]] and [[Ritual Summon]].
* The mechanics on how a '''[[Synchro Summon]]''' is done are quite similar to a [[Ritual Summon]], without the need of a [[Ritual Spell Cards|Ritual Spell Card]]. * You can '''Synchro Summon''' while '''[[Macro Cosmos]]''' is in play. In this case, the [[Synchro Material Monsters]] are removed from play<ref>[http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=43680&event=FE0006 Konami FAQ]: [Basic Rules] Can you Synchro Summon a monster when its Synchro Material Monsters would be removed from play?</ref>. Also, '''[[Token Monsters|Monster Token]]s''' and '''[[Trap Monsters]]''' (and presumably, [[Spell Monsters]]) can be used as [[Synchro Material Monsters]].<ref>[http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=43683&event=FE0006 Konami FAQ]: [Basic Rules] Can "Avatar of Apophis", a Monster Token, etc. be used as a Synchro Material Monster?</ref>* Synchro Monsters are like [[Fusion Monsters]]. Once the [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]] is properly '''Synchro Summoned''', it can be Special Summoned with "[[Monster Reborn]]", "[[Premature Burial]]", etc. as long as the [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]] is not returned to the Extra Deck. If the Synchro Monster is sent to the [[Graveyard]] without being Summoned, such as by the effect of "[[Gale Dogra]]", then you cannot Special Summon it.<ref>[http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=43687&event=FE0006 Konami FAQ]: [Basic Rules] Can you Special Summon a Synchro Monster with "Premature Burial" or "D.D.R. - Different Dimension Reincarnation"?</ref>
* Performing a '''Synchro Summon''' does not start a [[chain]].
* You cannot use [[face-down]] monsters to perform a '''Synchro Summon'''.
* You can negate a [[Synchro Summon]] with "[[Black Horn of Heaven]]", "[[Horn of Heaven]]", "[[Thunder King Rai-Oh]]", "[[Royal Oppression]]", etc.<ref>[http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=43674&event=FE0006 Konami FAQ]: [Basic Rules] Can you negate a Synchro Summon with a card effect?</ref>
** In this case, you still send the monsters to the [[Graveyard]]. The [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]] is not considered properly Summoned, so you cannot revive it with "[[Monster Reborn]]" etc.
*If the Synchro Monster requires [[Synchro Material Monsters]] of a specific [[Attribute]] (like "[[Hydro Genex]]"), you can use a monster with multiple [[Attribute]]s (like "[[Elemental Mistress Doriado]]") as a [[Synchro Material Monsters|Synchro Material Monster]].<ref>[http://yugioh.faq.konami.jp/EokpControl?&lang=en&tid=44605&event=FE0006 Konami FAQ]: [Basic Rules] When Synchro Summoning "Hydro Genex", can you use a monster with multiple Attributes as a Synchro Material Monster?</ref>*The monsters used in '''Synchro Summoning''' are not treated as [[Tribute]]d.*You may also '''Synchro Summon''' more than once per turn, if you have the appropriate monsters out on the field to perform it, since it's a [[Special Summon]].
