Leon debuts his Arc Suit Sync Pair alongside Chapter 2 of the Arceus Arc
As previewed in the trailer released earlier this today, the Arceus Arc will continue tomorrow with the launch of Chapter 2, and the debut of Leon's Arc Suit Sync Pair with his partner Charizard.

Chapter 2 of the Arceus Arc focuses on Leon, with the Champion from Galar coming back from a loss against Red and his Charizard, with Volo offering him advice on why he lost the battle.

​

Arc Suit Leon & Charizard are a Fire-type Multi Role Sync Pair with a Tech RX Role. Their Arc Fair Scout will begin alongside Chapter 2 of the Arceus Arc, on November 28th, at 10:00pm (PST), and will run through to December 16th, at 9:59pm (PST).

Acting almost as a blend of Strike, Tech, and Sprint Roles, Arc Suit Leon & Charizard can deal widespread damage across the entire opposing team thanks to their Champion Who Hears the Cheers Passive Skill that makes their Sync Move and Max Moves, which would normally hit only one opponent, instead hit all opponents without any reduction in power, as well as dealing guaranteed critical hits. An additional Passive Skill also allows reduces their sync coutdown by three and increases their Special Moves ↑ Next effect by three ranks when they use their Max Move, allowing for a sequence of powerful hits to be put out in quick succession. Finally, their Almighty Fire Blast Buddy Move, which does extreme single-target damage, activates when an opponent is burned.

Players who team up with Arc Suit Leon & Charizard will be able to select Special Pose 2 for them in the Photo Creator. This Special Pose will also be added for all four of Leon's other pre-existing outfits.
