Is it worth rolling for Sygna Suit Elesa & Rotom?
I’ll preface this by mentioning that Elesa is my favorite character (some may say waifu) in Pokémon Masters. But I’ll be objective in this analysis.
Yes, it’s worth rolling for SS Elesa & Rotom. They are an incredibly tanky and useful Sync Pair. Their bulk stat surpasses those of Rosa & Serperior, though they are lacking in HP. What makes them bulky is their Def. and Sp. Def. stats, which are currently the highest in the game.
One of the moves that really brings this Support Sync Pair up to the top is Breathtaking!, which lowers an ally’s Sync Move countdown by two. This move is amazing for setting up Mega-Evolutions for your team or co-op allies’ Sync Pairs. It also has a secondary benefit which can be used in the late game.
Adding SS Elesa & Rotom’s Sync Grid into the equation makes for an even more effective combo, especially with their passives. For more on this Sync Pair’s Sync Grid, check out our article on the best Sync Grid build for SS Elesa & Rotom.
