Physical & Special Boost Grant Rankings: Self vs. Allies over Three Actions + a Sync Move

Written by: SciPocket ·2026-10-31 · Data as of: 2026-10-30

Who can grant the most Physical Moves ↑ Next or Special Moves ↑ Next ranks with a short setup? We count effects from entry through each sync pair’s three actions and first sync move, then compare grants to the user and to allies across four categories.

Rankings use cumulative grant potential, including ranks consumed along the way and ranks that overflow the cap. This differs from the ranks left at the end or the amount actually used for attacks.

Physical · Self23ranksHighest cumulative grant potential Special · Self23ranksHighest cumulative grant potential Physical · Allies10ranksHighest cumulative grant potential Special · Allies10ranksHighest cumulative grant potential

What these rankings cover

We selected major candidates with grant effects from the included data and individually checked their effects, action sequences, and Sync Grids. These rankings do not cover every possible condition for every sync pair.

Sync pairs in the dataset: 670 · Sync pairs checked individually: 36

How cumulative grant potential is counted

Used for ranking: Cumulative grant potential

We add the ranks each effect attempts to grant. Ranks consumed along the way are not subtracted, and the cumulative total is not capped at 10.

Shown separately: Received, overflow, and held

A recipient can hold up to 10 ranks. Received means the ranks that fit under the cap; overflow means ranks that could not be received because of the cap; held means the ranks remaining at the end.

For example, granting two ranks to the whole team counts as two to the user, two to one ally, and four in total to the other two sync pairs. Repeated grants from using the same move again also count.

In ally breakdowns, held ranks and overflow assume that the recipients do not attack or consume these effects. Both values change in battle if recipients attack during the sequence.

For each category, we select an action sequence and Sync Grid that increase its grant total. A sync pair’s maximum values in all four categories may require different builds.

Comparison conditions

From entry through the user’s three actions and first sync move. Grants triggered after that sync move count, but moves unlocked by it are not added as a fourth action.
Trainer moves, field effects, unlocking preparations, regular moves, buddy moves, and max moves each count as one action. Setup is not treated as a free extra action.
Move level 5, with 6★ EX and EX roles enabled where available. Superawakening effects are included for candidates that have them. Each Sync Grid is one connected build within 70 energy.
No lucky skills are used, including exclusive lucky skills. Chance-based MP recovery and chance-based grants are not added to the main tables.
Initial boost effects and sync buffs are zero. Effects generated by the user on entry count. There is one opponent, and super-effective attacks are not assumed as an initial condition.
Attacks are assumed to hit. Any stat, field, or condition requirements the user can create are included in the action sequence.
Allies advance the sync move countdown until the user can sync. Additional grants triggered by allies’ attacks or field effects, enemy attacks, taking hits, or fainting are not included.
Sync Move ↑ Next and Supereffective ↑ Next are separate effects and are excluded. Sync move countdown reductions themselves do not add to the rank totals.

Eligibility for the main tables

Academy-trained sync pairs are excluded because the training-plan selection restrictions cannot be established from this comparison’s Sync Grid conditions alone.
Volo (Alt.) is not in the main tables pending an additional check of the order in which interference is applied and the boost effect activates during the same attack.
Sygna Suit Dawn’s grants with HP conditions are not in the main tables pending an additional check of the order of healing and the HP condition check.

Sync pairs that grant these effects when allies attack or when they are hit cannot show their strengths under these conditions. Check grant timing and required setup alongside the rankings when assessing overall strength or damage in battle.

Treat grants from attacks, taking hits, and fainting separately

The following three examples are conditional effects excluded from the main tables. Each value is the additional grant from one occurrence of the stated trigger, not a total for three actions plus a sync move.

Additional grants per trigger, excluded from the main rankings
Sync pair	One occurrence of the trigger	Additional grants and conditions
Iono & Bellibolt	The user is hit by one attack move.	With Superawakening: +2 Special Moves ↑ Next ranks to the user and +1 per other allied sync pair.Gimme All You Got! grants +1 to the whole team; the Superawakening skill The Supercharged Streamer grants the user another +1.
Irida (Anniversary 2025) & Typhlosion (Hisuian Form (Tera Type: Poison))	An ally successfully uses one attack move against an opponent affected by a status condition.	The attacking ally receives +1 Physical Moves ↑ Next rank and +1 Special Moves ↑ Next rank.Granted by Help Quell the Battle. Increases to Sync Move ↑ Next are not included in these rank totals.
Arezu (Summer 2026) & Basculegion	One ally on your team faints.	The user receives +10 Physical Moves ↑ Next ranks and +10 Special Moves ↑ Next ranks.Own Ally Faints: Phys & Spec Boost ↑10 grants these effects to the user. It does not grant them to another surviving ally.

In all cases, the amount actually received is limited by the cap of 10 held ranks. A fixed amount cannot be added to the main tables without specifying how often the trigger occurs and when recipients attack.
