Should you pull for Diantha and Keldeo

Diantha and Keldeo is Fighting-type Sync Pair that depends upon reducing the target’s stats for dealing damage. It is a self-sufficient unit that doesn’t really need other Sync Pairs to set it up. Additionally, it packs a lot of damage that gets more devastating as a match progresses. That said, there are far better DPS units available in the game that deal more damage and are easier to use. Ultimately, it all boils down to playstyle and personal preference.
