At A Glance
- Champion Lucas and Origin Forme Dialga are a Dragon-type Support pair that immediately establish EX Dragon Zone and Sinnoh Circle (Defensive).
- Their EX Master Fair runs from September 13 through October 24, 2026 at 10:59 p.m. PT.
- Use Lucas to protect the team, accelerate setup and amplify both physical and special attackers.
Champion Lucas and Origin Forme Dialga are an unusually aggressive Support sync pair. Total Control of Time activates on entry, creating EX Dragon Zone, applying Sinnoh Circle (Defensive), and raising every ally’s Defense and Special Defense by four ranks. The pair then adds disruption, team damage boosts and exceptionally fast sync-cycle tools.
Lucas debuted in an EX Master Fair on September 13, 2026. The scout ends October 24 at 10:59 p.m. PT and has a 12% overall five-star rate. That does not mean Lucas has a 12% personal rate, so always read the offering-rate screen before using gems.
Should You Scout Champion Lucas and Dialga?
Lucas is most appealing for players who need a flexible premium support rather than another dedicated attacker. His Master Passive strengthens allied moves and sync moves while reducing incoming damage, with larger effects when more Sinnoh sync pairs join the team. He can therefore anchor both specialised Sinnoh squads and broader teams that simply value fast defence and damage amplification.
Shatterproof Dragon Breath targets every opponent, lowers Attack and Special Attack by two ranks, and inflicts one of several interference conditions while also causing paralysis. Sinnoh Solidarity reapplies the defensive circle and grants Physical Moves Up Next and Special Moves Up Next. This combination lets Lucas defend, debuff and support mixed-damage teams without wasting slots.
Best Champion Lucas Grid Priorities
At lower move levels, prioritise move-gauge reliability, bulk and the actions used in every battle. Shatterproof Dragon Breath Move Gauge Refresh supports repeated debuffing, while defensive stat and HP nodes improve Lucas’s ability to occupy the first target position. Entry: Team Attack Up and Special Attack Up 2 is an excellent broader-team option when available because it shortens setup for both damage categories.
Higher-investment grids can specialise. Team Safe Start adds Enduring on entry, Circle: Team Critical-Hit Immunity protects the entire group, and circle-based recovery or damage reduction improves long encounters. Offence-focused teams may prefer circle sync amplification and extra defensive debuffs. Build presets are useful because the best grid for a short damage event is different from the safest grid for difficult endurance content.
Best Teams for Champion Lucas and Dialga
Champion Dawn and Origin Forme Palkia are the clearest partner. Dawn brings immediate special Dragon offence and Sinnoh Circle (Special), while Lucas supplies defence and EX Dragon Zone. Read the Champion Dawn and Palkia guide before deciding whether the two-banner pairing is affordable.
Lucas also supports physical attackers because his team boosts affect both physical and special moves. Add a damage dealer that benefits from Dragon Zone or the Sinnoh Master Passive, then choose the third member according to the stage. If Lucas already covers defence, the final slot can focus on speed, healing or type-specific utility.
Best Battle Rotation
Lucas begins with most defensive setup already complete. Use Sinnoh Solidarity when the team is ready to exploit its Next effects, rather than spending it while attackers are still applying buffs. Cycle Shatterproof Dragon Breath to weaken all opponents and build the sync countdown.
After Lucas uses a sync move, Brilliant Diamond Roar of Time becomes available once. It never misses, cuts the sync countdown by nine the first time it lands and grants four ranks of both Physical and Special Moves Up Next to the team. Time this burst so allies can immediately consume those boosts. The Super Sparring guide covers how this acceleration fits a timed damage attempt.

Final Thoughts
Champion Lucas and Origin Forme Dialga combine premium protection with genuine offensive tempo. Their entry effects simplify setup, while Shatterproof Dragon Breath, Sinnoh Solidarity and Brilliant Diamond Roar of Time keep the whole team moving. Lucas is a strong scout target for players who value reusable support, but a disciplined gem budget remains more important than any single banner.
