What is the Synchro Machine in The Indigo Disk DLC?

The Synchro Machine is a Key Item that you can grab in the Indigo Disk that will allow you to sync up with your Pokémon. You can use this special power alone or with friends in a Union Circle. The Synchro Machine allows you to travel around as if you were the Pokémon – with that Pokémon’s walking speed – and use Let’s Go auto-battling as that Pokémon.

Where can you get the Synchro Machine in The Indigo Disk DLC?

You can find the Synchro Machine at the top of Central Plaza, right in the middle of the Terrarium. This area is multilayered, but the person you want to speak to is a woman standing next to the healing machine at the top of the plaza next to the battle arena.

She will ask you to send out a Pokémon – any one will do – and walk over to a tree. After this is done, send out your Pokémon and talk to her again. This time, you need to battle three Pokémon while synchronized. After you have completed this, she will reward you with the Synchro Machine.

You can use the Synchro Machine anywhere you like after you have obtained it. First, send out the Pokémon you want to Sync with, then hold the L and R buttons until you sync. If you want to desync all, you need to do is hold these buttons again. Make sure that you heal your Pokémon before syncing, as they will carry over their health.
