Hi 
i found this in an sos chaining guide on gamefaqs. Seems to have a solution to your problem
3: Abilities and Effects
-Abilities such as Compoundeyes, Synchronize and Cute Charm also seem to work as usual on Reinforcements as they do on regular wild encounters.
-...However, the age old trick will not work on reinforcements. Traditionally you can use an exploit to have a fainted pokemon apply its Out Of Battle ability effect on wild encounters by putting it in first place, and then fight with a different pokemon in second place (the game checks and applies ability bonuses to encounters before checking your team). In Chaining, you can't do this because sending out your next available unfainted pokemon will shuffle it to the front and then apply bonuses to the reinforcements that follow.
-This simply means you'll have to use the Ability holder itself whilst chaining - if it's out in front then its ability will still apply as normal. The Abra family has access to Synchronize and Skill Swap as an egg move, a nifty trick that lets you pass along Synchronize to another pokemon that has a better nature and moves (i.e. pass Synchronize to wild pokemon, switch to a Smeargle, Smeargle uses Role Play to get Synchronize)
-Be careful when using Synchronize however, as wild pokemon cannot call for reinforcements if affected by status - if they have the ability to apply status to you, they might accidentally affect themselves. This is remedied by giving your Synchronizer a Burn and then letting it hold Leftovers, the two will cancel each other out.

Hope this helps!
