Potential

Potential is an indication of a Sync Pair's strength in Pokémon Masters. The higher a Sync Pair's potential, the higher its stats. Potentials are represented by Yellow Stars, except 6 Stars EX which is represented by an 'EX' icon aside 5 Stars. The minimum base potential a sync pair can have is 1 Star while the maximum base potential a sync pair can have is 5 Stars. Sync Pairs cannot have a base potential of 2 stars or 6 Stars EX. Items called Power-Ups are used to increase a Sync Pair's potential. There are six potentials:
*1 Star 
*2 Stars
*3 Stars
*4 Stars
*5 Stars
*6 Stars EX
==1 Star==
1 Star is the base potential of Pokémon hatched from Eggs in Professor Bellis' Lab. Any Pokémon that hatches from an Egg has a base potential of 1 Star. However, an exception to this is at the beginning of the game, where player has to choose between a Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle egg. The Pokémon hatched from these eggs have a base potential of 3 Stars. This doesn't apply on Charmander/Squirtle/Bulbasaur hatched from regular eggs. Egg Pokémon acquired from Egg Events, too, have a base potential of 1 Star. A Sync Pair having a base potential of 1 Star can be raised to a potential of 2 Stars using 1 Star Power-Ups.

6 Stars EX is a special potential that gives Sync Pairs a huge buff along with higher stats. A Sync Pair having an initial potential of 5 Stars can be raised to 6 Stars EX by using 5 Stars Power-Ups and Champion Spirits. Raising a Sync Pair to 6 Stars EX unlocks their EX outfit which can be equipped and unequipped any time. Equipping an EX outfit gives the sync pair a huge buff depending on their role.
*If a Sync Pair has Strike Role, then its Sync Move will hit all the opponents.
*If a Sync Pair has Support Role, then its Sync Move will buff the allies' and user's stats by 2.0x instead of the regular 1.5x.
*If a Sync Pair has Technical Role, then its Sync Move will deal higher damage to the opponent.
