Sabrina the original Psychic-type Gym Leader is coming to Pasio alongside her Alakazam. This Sync Pair is the second Psychic-type Support Sync Pair. With the abundance of other great Support Sync Pairs already, you may ask, is it worth rolling for Sabrina & Alakazam?
Maybe. Sabrina & Alakazam is a decent Sync Pair. Despite being a Support Sync Pair, they can pack a punch with buffs and Sync Grid upgrades.

Is it worth rolling for Sabrina & Alakazam?
I would say save your gems if you’re low on gems and can’t afford a guaranteed roll (400 scout points, or over 130 non-paid rolls!). There’s nothing special about this Sync Pair’s stats, mostly just average, ignoring their Atk. stat which isn’t applicable.
What gives them a bit of an edge, stat-wise, is the fact that their buffs can skyrocket their team’s power quite a bit. Critical-hit rate up, a drastic Sp. Atk. boost (that’s 3x a normal boost), and an increase in accuracy, all in one moveset!
Does Alakazam’s Mega-Evolution change much? A little.Adding Psychic into the mix boosts the Sync Pair’s offensive capabilities alongside a Sp. Atk. and Speed stat increase. It remains to be seen whether or not Alakazam can hold up as a Support Striker.
Their passives benefit most a Sync Grid build that tailors to a more Striker style build. For more on this Sync Pair’s Sync Grid, check out our article on the best Sync Grid build for Sabrina & Alakazam.
In conclusion, consider if you really need this Sync Pair on your team over other Support Sync Pairs. Sabrina does have a certain waifu appeal, so if you really want to roll for her go ahead!
