Synchronize (Ability)

Synchronize is an ability found most commonly in Psychic, Dark, and even Ghost type animals.

In Battle Use
Animals with the Synchronize ability place any status effects such as Poison or Burns onto their opponents if their opponents placed a status effect onto the animal with this ability.

Speculation
This ability may have come from the way certain animals find the best way for battle match-ups and make sure they are on an equal footing with their opponents throughout a battle in addition to status effects.
