Red & Charizard (Mega)

5-star Fire Special Strike character, with a weakness to Rock. Knows the attacks:

Heat Wave
Blast Burn. Seem like Hyper Beam
Dire Hit+ – Flare Blitz (Mega)
My Destiny!: +3 Sp.Atk and +3 Spd. -1 Def and -1 Sp.D. +3 Atk if Mega Evo.
Sync Move: Living Legend Blast Burn (gives +1 Crit after used)

Passive Abilities:

Piercing Gaze: Moves never miss.
Propulsion 1: 10% chance of reducing Sync Move Countdown by 1 when attacking successfully
MGR 4: 40% chance of refreshing 1 Gauge Bar when an attack successful

Red looks to be very powerful, with both high stats, a great movepool, and perfect accuracy. The ability to buff its Special Attack and Speed to maximum in two uses is massive, and a higher critical hit rate is also great. His Passive Abilities look very useful too, and may offset the risk of the Gauge Bar being depleted too often when using him. He won’t last many attacks, but will be a great character to pull for. He also comes with a full sync grid to grind on! He will be one of the most powerful characters in the game.

Sabrina & Alakazam (Mega)

5-star Psychic Support character, with a weakness to Dark. Knows the attacks:

Psybeam – Psychic (Mega)
Dire Hit All
Reflect
Sixth Sense!: Restore 40% HP, +3 Sp.Atk and +1 Accuracy for allies only
Sync Move: ESP Prodigy Psywave

Passive Abilities:

Unflappable: Prevents the Pokémon from flinching.
Speed Entry 1: +1 speed when entering battle
Dauntless Sp. Atk cannot be lowered.

Sabrina seems to be great for supporting Special Strike characters who would appreciate the boost to accuracy, such as Solgaleo with Focus Blast.

Fantina & Mismagius

5-star Ghost Support character, with a weakness to Dark. Has attacks of:

Ominous Wind: like Ancient power
Shadow Ball
X Sp.Atk
Dance with me!: +3 gauges and +1 crit
Soulful Dancer Shadow Ball

Passives Abilities:

Bulk Buster 4: The more HP the target is, the more it powers up moves
Backfire 2: lower 2 stage Sp.Atk and Atk of enemies when she dies

Fantina seems to be somewhat unique, with support to move gauge recovery and critical hit rate. If Ominous Wind triggers its stat boost effect she’ll become very powerful, and the ability to debuff opponents on fainting may make her a useful sacrifice lead in Co-Op matches.

Valerie & Sylveon

4-star Fairy Special Strike character, with a weakness to Poison. Knows the attacks:

Disarming Voice: Cannot miss, akin to Swift.
Draining Kiss: 2 gauge move – 46 PW 100 Acc – 10% drain
X Sp. Atk
Not so Delicate!: +2 Sp.Def and Speed
Fashionista Dazzling Gleam

Passive

HP Advantage 4: The more HP remaining the more damage

Another Fairy option is much needed for the game, and Sylveon is a popular pick in the fandom! She has the potential to be somewhat of a Special Attacking wall, and will like further healing support to keep striking hard.

Sygna Suit Elesa & Rotom

5-Star Electric Special Support, with weakness to Dark. Knows the attacks:

Breathtaking!: -2 Sync countdown all allies. +1 acc and crit. Double if post sync of that ally
Thunder shock
Thunder
X Sp.Atk

Passive Abilities:

Fast runner: Evasiveness can not be lowered
Long Alive 9: 100% increase Evasion once get hit

Elsa getting an alt is not terribly surprising, being one of the more popular Unova Gym Leaders. Rotom makes for a unique choice and typing/weakness combination. She will pair very well with Strikers with Mega Evolutions, such as Brendan and Kris, who will benefit from the critical hit and accuracy increase on Leaf Storm and Aqua Tail respectively. The evasiveness boost may be helpful if she has Rotom take on weaker moves.

It’s notable that three of these five characters have a weakness to Dark; the likes of Nanu, Grimsley and Karen will appreciate more opponents to take advantage of. Koga may prove useful against Valerie as well, granting more usage to this often ignored character.
