Best DPS Units for Better Damage

For all the Pokémon Masters EX beginners who are looking for the top tier DPS units in the Pokémon Masters EX tier list, here are the ones we can recommend you to go for.

Red & Mega Charizard X

Red & Mega Charizard X

Role

Build Recommendations

Physical Strike

Sync Grid: Focus on “Blast Burn: Power +25,” “Solar Flare 5” (boosts sync move power in sun), and “Haymaker” (increases sync move damage based on Attack stat). Add “Critical Strike 2” for extra crit damage.

Lucky Skill: Vigilance (prevents critical hits against Red) or Critical Strike 2.

Team: Pair with Blaine & Ponyta (for Sunny Day) and a tank like Sygna Suit Blue & Blastoise to keep Red alive.

 

Red & Mega Charizard is good for bringing an insane damage output along with some AOE skills. That entirely makes him one of the best strikers for dealing with multiple enemies at once. On the other hand, he is known to be one of the most versatile Pokémon in the game, too.  You can use this Pokemon finely against those champion stadium bosses.

Lucas & Dialga

Lucas & Dialga

Role

Build Recommendations

Special Strike

Sync Grid: Grab “Roar of Time: Power +25,” “Dragon Zone: Team Dragon Power 5” (boosts team Dragon damage), and “Adrenaline 1” (reduces sync countdown).

Lucky Skill: Critical Strike 2 or Power Flux 3 (more damage with fuller move gauge).

Team: Pair with Lance & Dragonite (Dragon striker) and Professor Sycamore & Xerneas (Sp. Atk buffs and healing).

 

Lucas & Dialga in the Pokémon Masters EX tier list is known for the best self-sustaining skills and has the highest base SP attacks. Anyone who needs the best power for their dragon teams can go with this Pokemon and it will be ideal for dragon weak stages.

N & Zekrom

N & Zekrom

Role

Build Recommendations

Physical Strike

Sync Grid: Pick “Bolt Strike: Power +25,” “Electric Terrain: Team Power 5,” and “Inertia” (sync move power scales with Speed). Add “Blue Flare” for type coverage.

Lucky Skill: Critical Strike 2 or Defense Crush 2 (lowers enemy Defense on hit).

Team: Use Elesa & Zebstrika (Electric Terrain) and a tank like Skyla & Swanna

This is a beast for his raw power and there are better bolt strike crits coming with N & Zekrom. This is a very versatile option you can go for, and he is also known for a very tanky unit. He has the best bold strikes, landing successfully.

Best Hybrid Pairs for Better Support and Offense

Serena & Delphox

Serena & Delphox

Role

Build Recommendations

Tech (Special Hybrid)

Sync Grid: Prioritize “Mystical Fire: Power +25,” “Hostile Environment 2” (boosts status condition hit rate), and “Brain Sync 5” (increases sync move power with higher Sp. Atk). Add “Hypnosis: Accuracy +10” for reliability.

Lucky Skill: Dauntless (prevents Sp. Atk drops) or Critical Strike 2 (boosts crit damage).

Team: Pair with a tank like Sygna Suit Blue & Blastoise and a sun setter like Blaine & Ponyta to amp up Fire damage.

 

Serna & Delphox, as a pair, can sleep-lock the enemies, which will be a real advantage in the battles. It can shut down the bosses without any hesitation and there are also attack debuffs with this pair that can help you a lot in your gameplay. And yes, you get a lot of victories when this pair is being used against the sleeping targets..

Cynthia & Giratina

  • Lucky Skill: Critical Strike 2 or Defense Crush 2 (lowers enemy Defense on hit).

  • Team: Team up with Sygna Suit Lusamine & Necrozma (Ghost striker) and Skyla & Swanna (Speed/healing support).

 

Cynthia & Giratina from the Pokémon Masters EX tier list is for those who want to have a great synergy in the team. This pair also has very good damage along with debuff skills. Compared to many other techs, Cynthia shows a pretty much of a good tank quality to rise better.

Steven & Normal Forme Deoxys

Steven & Normal Forme Deoxys

Role

Build Recommendations

Tech (Special Hybrid)

Sync Grid: Pick “Psycho Boost: Power +25,” “Downside Up” (turns stat drops into boosts), and “Ramming Speed” (sync power scales with Speed). Add “Otherworldly Contact: MP Refresh 3” for longevity.

Lucky Skill: Critical Strike 2 or Power Flux 3 (more damage with fuller gauge).

Team: Pair with Sabrina & Alakazam (Psychic Terrain) and a tank like Sygna Suit Leaf & Venusaur.

 

There are amazing psycho boosts with Steven & Normal which brings a high performance as well as a high base power. For psychic weak contents. His attack can drop into a buff, and it has the ability to spam the enemies.

Best Support Pairs for Increased Abilities

Professor Sycamore & Xerneas

Lucky Skill: Stalwart (prevents stat drops) or Master Healer 2 (boosts healing).

Team: Pair with special strikers like Lucas & Dialga or Serena & Delphox, plus a secondary healer like Dawn & Cresselia.

Professor Sycamore & Xerneas is ideal for a high team sustain, and there are buffs and speed attacks provided by this pair to the whole team. If you want a pair that covers almost any of the weaknesses from ground, water, dark and more, this pair is very much an idea. We recommend this pair for long fights as it has continuous healing power.

Leaf & Eevee

Leaf & Eevee

Lucky Skill: Master Healer 2 or Vigilance (blocks crits).

Team: Team with physical strikers like Red & Mega Charizard X or a tank like Bruno & Onix for balance.

Leaf & Eevee in the Pokémon Masters EX tier list is known for the best buff attacks and crit rate. And there is a good amount of potion and sync healing which will help you to keep your team alive for longer. This one is for the free-to-play players because you get her for free. And her stat boosts make it a worthy investment for your gameplay for sure.

Sabrina & Mega Alakazam

Sabrina & Mega Alakazam

Role

Build Recommendations

Support

Sync Grid: Go for “Psychic: Power +25,” “Sixth Sense!: MP Refresh 3” (sustain buffs), and “Team Smart Cookie 3” (Sp. Def buffs on Psychic hits). Add “Dauntless” for Sp. Atk consistency.

Lucky Skill: Vigilance or Critical Strike 2 (if leaning into damage).

Team: Pair with special strikers like Leon & Charizard or a tank like Sygna Suit Blue & Blastoise.

Sabrina & Mega Alakazam is one of the best support pairs with better DPS bonuses. You will find it as a life saving unit. If you live a perfect working striker, you will find this one pretty much useful. Use this pair against the physical enemies so you can rise better.

Remember that 5-star sync pairs in the Pokémon Masters EX tier list aren’t easy to collect. With their low drop rates, you will find it pretty hard to collect them when you want. And rerolling will take repetitive attempts to reach for a top tier hero as you wanted. That is why one of the best Android emulators, LDPlayer, is designed with a special feature named Multi-Instance Sync. It can create different instances of the game and run them all at once. So you can reroll through them all at once and all you have to do is play Pokémon Monsters EX on PC through LDPlayer.

Notes: Please note that this Pokémon Masters EX tier list  is made with three ranks: S, A and B, which makes the S the most powerful, and A becomes the next powerful in line. C will be the least powerful, and we have only described the best of S-ranked support, DPS and hybrid pairs. And another thing is that this tier list is made from our perspective so the pairs we describe here are per our tests. You can feel free to test to see who is the most powerful and who the worst is.

Conclusion

So, it is the end of our Pokémon Masters EX tier list 2025. For anyone who needs a better sync pair to rise within the game, now you know where you should end up, so rise and collect. Make the battles all yours.
