One of the main things you’ll be doing inDragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Princeis taming and synthesizing monsters into bigger and stronger monsters and pitting them up against other Monster Wranglers' monsters. You don’t always have to fight with other Wranglers, though.

Sometimes, they’ll offer to match their monster with yours via synthesis to make a whole new monster for you to keep. This is known as Monster Matchmaking, and there are several of them waiting to entrust their monsters to you. Here are all the pairings available to you, where to find them, and some suggestions for combinations.
