Sygna Suit Grimsley & Sharpedo are an aggressive duo that focus on an all-out offensive and their Sync Grid only makes their attacks more powerful. They are self-sufficient and don’t need a dedicated Sync Pair to cover their weaknesses.

The best Sync Grid build for SS Grimsley & Sharpedo would be to go for Waterfall Move Gauge Refresh, and Waterfall: Power.

Sync Grid Builds

At Sync Level 2, Sharpedo lacks the chance to take many passive abilities, including the Sync Move tiles, so the Que the Attack build focuses instead on making Waterfall and Aqua Jet more powerful to quickly subdue opponents.

With access to their Sync Move tiles, this pair can deal a mighty blow to opponents weak to Water-type and the Water Cannon build aims to be the most powerful. Finally, Waterfall Lockdown is used against opponents you cannot allow to have even a single move, such as Entei in the Legendary Arena.

Queue the Attack Build (Sync Level 2/5)

Total Sync Orb Cost: 750
Total Energy Used: 60
Total Upgrades:

• HP +30
• Attack +15
• Defense +5
• Sp. Def +5
• Speed +10
• Aqua Jet Power +24
• Liquidation Power +5
• Waterfall Power +20
• Liquidation Move Gauge Refresh 3
• Waterfall Move Gauge Refresh 3
• Waterfall Shifty Striker 2
• Speedy Entry 2

With limited access to the best abilities, this build focuses instead on making Sharpedo’s attacks more powerful to make up for a less effective Sync Move.

Waterfall is chosen over Liquidation as Sharpedo’s main move because of the cost and flinching effects. Waterfall gains +20 Power and Move Gauge Refresh 3 to always keep the attack queued. Shifty Striker 2 gives Sharpedo the chance to increase his evasiveness beyond what Sink or Swim! provides to cover if the opponent fails to flinch.

This build foregoes the X Attack Move Gauge Refresh tile with the plan to use Sink or Swim! after Sharpedo’s Sync Move in order to maximize Attack. Speedy Entry 2 boosts Sharpedo’s Speed by two levels to more quickly reach his Sync Move.

Once Sharpedo mega evolves, Waterfall is replaced with Aqua Jet, a powerful move that does not use the move gauge. This build gives Aqua Jet +24 Power. Use it with another Sync Pair’s powerful, but expensive attack to deliver an onslaught of damage. Finally, if you’ve exhausted all Aqua Jet uses, Liquidation gains Move Gauge Refresh 3 to help finish off the fight.

Water Cannon Build (Sync Level 3/5)

(build link)

Total Sync Orb Cost: 750
Total Energy Used: 60
Total Upgrades:

• HP +30
• Attack +20
• Defense +5
• Sp. Def +5
• Speed +15
• Aqua Jet Power +8
• Waterfall Power +5
• High-Stakes Liquidation Power +100
• Waterfall Move Gauge Refresh 3
• Inertia
• Speedy Entry 2

With Sharpedo’s passive abilities and access to four Sync Move tiles, High-Stakes Liquidation will deal devastating damage to any Sync Pair weak to Water. This build aims to make Sharpedo’s Sync Move as powerful as possible.

The build uses most of its Energy to reach the four sync tiles to give High-Stakes Liquidation +100 Power. Along the way, it picks up Waterfall Move Gauge Refresh 3 to help reach its Sync Move faster. 

The ability Inertia powers up Sync Moves the higher the Sync Pair’s Speed is raised. Using Speedy Entry 2, Sharpedo can reach maximum Speed quickly with another Sync Pair’s help, such as Skyla & Swanna’s Take Flight! 

Use another Sync Pair to maximize Sharpedo’s Attack or wait until after Sharpedo’s first Sync Move to use Sink or Swim! and few Sync Pairs weak to Water-types will remain standing.

Waterfall Lockdown (Sync Level 3/5)

(build link)

Total Sync Orb Cost: 750
Total Energy Used: 60
Total Upgrades:

• HP +30
• Attack +20
• Defense +5
• Sp. Def +10
• Speed +15
• Waterfall Power +20
• Liquidation Power +5
• Waterfall Move Gauge Refresh 3
• Waterfall Aggravation 1
• X Attack MP Refresh 3
• Speedy Entry 2

Some opponents, such as Entei in the Legendary Arena, cannot be allowed to have an attack, else it will wipe your entire team. This build tries to lock down an opponent with Waterfall flinching effects.

Sharpedo cannot use his Sync Move because Waterfall is replaced by Aqua Jet. Additionally, Sink or Swim! will not grant Sharpedo maximized attack, so X Attack MP Refresh 3 is grabbed for the chance to do it instead.

This build maximizes Waterfall with +20 Power. Speedy Entry 2 boosts Sharpedo’s Speed and Waterfall’s Move Gauge Refresh 3 increases the chances of the move gauge refreshing in time. Aggravation 1 increases Sharpedo’s chances of flinching with Waterfall by 10%, which can mean the difference between success and failure.

Sygna Suit Grimsley & Sharpedo would pair well with other flinch-based Sync Pairs or another with a powerful Sync Move to capitalize on Sharpedo’s quick attacks.
