Pokemon Indigo Disk: How to Get and Use the Synchro Machine

The Terarium is a fascinating place that allows you to encounter all types of Pokemon. But what if you could be the Pokemon? That’s where the Synchro Machine comes in. Here’s how to find and use the Synchro Machine in the Indigo Disk of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

First things first. You’ll need to head to the Central Plaza in the middle of the Terarium. Once you’re inside this pastel block fortress, head all the way up the central platform, where there’s both a battle arena and the healing machine.

Beside this healing machine, you’ll see Synclaire, who will ask if you want to participate in her experiment. Agree, and you’ll send out one of your Pokemon outside. Synclaire will allow you to sync up with the first Pokemon in your team.

Agree, and she’ll ask you to walk as your Pokemon towards a tree. This will conclude the experiment, and she’ll give you three Rare Candies. Speak to Synclaire again and agree to help her continue testing.

As your selected Pokemon, you’ll need to defeat three wild Pokemon in the area. This can be done by approaching a Wild Pokemon and pressing ‘Y.’ Once you’ve defeated three Pokemon, you’ll be brought back to your body.

She’ll then give you the Synchro Machine, which you can now use to explore the Terarium. To use it, hold the ‘L’ button and then press the ‘R’ button to begin synchronizing. You can then turn into whatever Pokemon in your party that you like.

Doing this will allow you to explore new areas in the Indigo Disk and enjoy a brand new perspective in life.
