Pokémon Masters EX: Best Siebold & Octillery Sync Grid Builds

Siebold & Octillery return with their sync grid to serve up a powerful sync move. Situated as a syncing Striker, Octillery best focuses in setting up and dealing damage in a fell swoop. He comes as fairly self-sufficient, having both the damage-boosting skills and the moves to support that. With allies that can raise his stats for him, Octillery is able to quickly target down his opponents.

The best Sync Grid Builds for Siebold & Octillery are Any Way You Like It, Steaming Burn, and Targeted Strike.

Any Way You Like It (2/5): Whatever the battle needs, Octillery is able to switch to the move that fits best.

Steaming Burn (3/5): Scald quickly counts down the sync move counter and inflicts extra damage through a powered up sync move.

Targeted Strike (3/5): Honing in on Octazooka, this build targets down an opponent for a critical gourmet strike!

Focus Rush 1

Both Scald and Octazooka gain their Move Gauge Refresh 3 tiles to potentially return one bar to the move gauge 40% of the time after the move is successful. Octazooka also gains Eagle Eye 4, which has a good chance of raising Octillery’s critical-hit rate. In addition, Focus Rush 1 will guarantee to raise his critical-hit rate by +1 after using his sync move. To top off any damage boosters, Burn Synergy 3 will power up moves against a burned target.

Picking up X Sp. Def MP Refresh 3 will help Octillery reach max Sp. Def if it activates once during the battle. It’s also useful to use a move to count down the sync gauge if you’re waiting for the move gauge to fill.

Steaming Burn Build (Sync Level 3/5)

Total Sync Orb Cost: 738

Total Energy Used: 59

(Build Link)

Unique Upgrades:

HP +10

Sp. Atk +10

Scald Move Gauge Refresh 3

Octazooka Power +4

Gourmet Octazooka Power +25

Burn Synergy 3

Critical Strike 3

Rising Tide

With the two-bar-cost Scald, picking up Scald Move Gauge Refresh 3 helps keep up the attack since the main aim is reaching the sync move quickly. Burn Synergy 3 increases Octillery’s move power against opponents that are burned.

Gourmet Octazooka gains +25 power, but its damage is also increased by Rising Tide, which powers up the sync move the more Octillery’s stats have been raised.  Tack on Critical Strike 3 to increase both move and sync move damage whenever Octillery attacks. He’ll need an ally to raise his critical-hit rate for him.

Targeted Strike Build (Sync Level 3/5)

Total Sync Orb Cost: 750

Total Energy Used: 60

(Build Link)

Unique Upgrades:

HP +10

Defense +5

Sp. Atk +10

Octazooka Move Gauge Refresh 3

Octazooka Eagle Eye 4

X Sp. Def MP Refresh 3

Critical Strike 3

Rising Tide

Octazooka is a rather expensive move and Octillery has no way to improve his lackluster Speed himself, so Octazooka Move Gauge Refresh 3 can help offset the cost by returning one bar to the move gauge 40% of the time.

Picking up X Sp. Def MP Refresh 3 helps further raise Octillery’s Sp. Def as well as his sync move damage thanks to Rising Tide. Rising Tide increases Gourmet Octazooka’s power the more his stats are raised.

Critical Strike 3 increases the amount of additional damage an opponent receives whenever one of Octillery’s moves is a critical hit. Octazooka Eagle Eye 4 has a 50% chance of activating each time the move is successful and raising Octillery’s critical-hit rate +1.
