Recommended Pairs to Partner with Lance & Dragonair
Clair & Kingdra
These draconic cousins play perfectly together! Clair & Kingdra and Lance & Dragonair both get bonuses from their Cape and Dragon theme skills. Clair & Kingdra also have the sync grid tile Draco Meteor: Paralysis Synergy 5, which increases Draco Meteor’s damage when the target is paralyzed. Combine this with Lance & Dragonair’s Thunder Wave, which can paralyze opposing sync pairs, and you’ve got some reliable damage dealing on your hands. Clair & Kingdra can be obtained after completing Chapter 13 of the main story.
Sabrina & Alakazam
Lance & Dragonair can deal plenty of damage with a little help from a support sync pair. Sabrina & Alakazam’s Sixth Sense! can raise Lance & Dragonair’s Sp. Atk by three stat ranks while also restoring 40% of their maximum HP, which can be handy for patching up Lance & Dragonair after they use Heart of Justice! Lance & Dragonair also have no way of raising their own defense stats, so Sabrina & Alakazam’s Reflect can come in clutch against sync pairs that deal physical damage. Sabrina & Alakazam are available to scout from the general pool of 5 ★ sync pairs, as well as from the 5★-Guaranteed Ticket Scout and 5★-Guaranteed Kanto Ticket Scout.
