Synchronize (Ability)

Synchronize (Japanese: シンクロ Synchro) is an Ability introduced in Touhou Ningyougeki 1.812.

In battle
When a Puppet with Synchronize is burned, paralyzed, or poisoned by another Puppet, that Puppet will be inflicted with the same status condition. Synchronize will not inflict confusion, sleep or freeze.

Even if Synchronize would have no effect due to the other Puppet already having a status condition or the other Puppet's type, Ability, or team condition (e.g. ), it will still activate (revealing it as the Puppet's Ability), but have no effect. Synchronize can affect a Puppet behind a substitute. Synchronize can be activated by other Puppet's Abilities, such as Static, but cannot be activated by the or.

If a Puppet with Synchronize has a Berry that cures the status condition it was just inflicted with, Synchronize will activate before the Berry is eaten.

When a Puppet with Synchronize is badly poisoned by another Puppet, that Pokémon will be inflicted with the regular poison condition.

If is used by a burned, paralyzed, or poisoned Puppet targeting a Puppet with Synchronize, Synchronize activates after Psycho Shift cures the user of its status condition. Therefore, Synchronize will inflict the status condition anew in such a case.

If a single move such as results in a status ailment being given to more than one Puppet (including as a result of Synchronize itself), Puppets that receive the status in even-numbered orders (second, and possibly fourth) will not be able to activate Synchronize even if they have that ability.

do not activate this Ability unless a Puppet on the field directly causes a Puppet with Synchronize to switch in, such as by using the moves or.

Outside of battle
In Touhoumon Purple, Touhoumon HeartGold, and Touhoumon Platinum, if a Puppet with Synchronize is in the first slot in the party (even if fainted) when a wild Puppet is encountered, there is a 50% chance that the game will force it to have the same Nature as the Puppet in the first slot. (Otherwise, the Nature is chosen at random, so the Puppet still has a 1 in 25 chance of having the same Nature as the lead Puppet.) This does not apply to roaming Puppets. In Purple, it also does not apply to stationary Puppets.
