For day 13 of my series of concepts for every (fully evolved) Johto Pokémon, we have Overqwil.

Overqwil is a bit of a sad Pokémon. It's one of only three (non-legendary) Hisuian Pokémon/forms that wasn't assigned a warden and, when it was added in the Indigo Disk, not one trainer used it. That makes its only appearance in a trainer battle the Path of Solitude. Without a clear trainer to associate it to, I went with Akari, since she's not particularly associated with any Hisuian Pokémon either (and [Rei already got a Sync Pair in the Kanto series](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonmastersconcept/comments/1kc0cjc/daily_kanto_pokémon_concepts_day_10_parasect/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)).

As a Sync Pair, Akari & Overqwil are a physical Strike that relies on poisoning opponents to deal more damage. With their three passive skills, hitting a poisoned opponent always crits, deals increased damage, and applies Supereffective ↑ Next.

In order to unlock all of that, they can use their Buddy Move, Valiant Barb Barrage, which badly poisons all opponents, as well as lowering their Defense and, in its first use, Poison Type Rebuff. It, like Barb Barrage, also deals double damage against poisoned opponents.

Akari herself has two moves to enable more damage: her Trainer Move maxes Overqwil's Attack and increases Physical Moves ↑ Next, and Move Gauge Boost makes up for the pair's lack of Speed and Barb Barrage's high cost by restoring the move gauge.

All in all, Akari & Overqwil are a Strike Sync Pair that uses poison as a means to an end: dealing high physical damage. Everything in their kit is geared toward that one and only goal.
