You know how sometimes you notice, that there are two Pokemon that Gamefreak seemed to have made to be partners in crime, like they just work perfectly together, whether it be offensive or defensive? Well, let's list a few and see if we can get better at battling ;]

OFFENSIVE

"Dragnezone"

The only type in the game that resists the Dragon type is Steel. Who is the BEST Steel killer in the game? Magnezone of course! The crux of this combo is to utilize Magnezone's "Magnet Pull" ability which prevents Steel types from escaping. Most use Hidden Power Fire due to the popularity of Scizor and Forretress, but a lot also use Hidden Power Ground to murder Heatran. Basically, you want to pick the Hidden Power that your team needs. For example, if you're running let's say a Salamence with Fire Blast, go with HP-Ground. Basically, this strategy uses Magnezone to eliminate all of the opponents Steel types, so that your dragon type can come in and freely use Outrage to kill everything they have left. :awesome:

DEFENSIVE

"Skarmbliss"

Posted Image

This is probably the original. Skarmory and Blissey. Back in the day of GSC, this was the ultimate defensive combo. Blissey sponges special hits, and Skarmory sponges physical hits (this was back before the physical/special split so this was a bigger deal XD). This was a real force to be reckoned with and almost nothing could get around it directly, however when Blaziken came along with his STAB Fire & Fighting, he single-handedly dismantled the duo. Although they still go strong, they're nowhere near as common as they used to be.


"Squishy Thorns"

Posted ImagePosted Image

Two of the new Pokemon, Ferrothorn and Jellicent are two of the new defensive pivots of the Fifth Generation. The combo they provide is rather interesting, as together they cover every single one of each other's weaknesses. And on that note, Ferrothorn is a prime Physical wall (who can also function as a decent special wall) and Jellicent being an excellent special wall. Ferrothorn is a physical attacker who paralyzes, Jellicent is a special attack who burns. Together they have made the current B/W competitive play give the biggest middle finger ever to Water-types who previously were one of the most dominant types. As a plus, Ferrothorn can set up Spikes & Stealth Rock and Jellicent can come in and block Rapid Spin. So basically, they can annoy the hell out of you.

So basically, suggest other popular combos. I'll add more things to this later such as examples of sets to use with these combos and such.

Also, mention some possible sets to use. :)

MY STRATEGY

Have an all lvl 100 team with types that vary greatly to cover the opposition's team and and attack wildly with hardcore attacks and hope for KO's

I don't understand people who use status increasing/decreasing moves, that's just another turn where you could have done damage :P

I used to think the same way. :tehe: But i tried using those increase moves, and now my Scrafty kills everything in 2 turns. ;D I also learn that its not all about level. ;D Do you even bother to work with stats? o-o

That's called Hyperoffense and it works quite well if you can pull it off, but those teams tend to have 4 or 5 specific Pokemon that can like...destroy you.

A lot of people play with "Sleep Clause" meaning only one Pokemon on a team is allowed to be asleep. Because if not, someone would just use like Scarf Smeargle and Spore everything, and then it's no fun. </nerd>

lol I never really think of a plan before battling :) I haven't even bothered to make a strategy and I rarely use those Stat booster moves.

Strategy 1: Mamoswine and Staraptor

Have Mamoswine use strong ground moves such as Earthquake. Massive damage for opponents, but doesn't affect Staraptor. :awesome:

Strategy 2: Venusaur and Blissey

Venusaur uses Sleep Powder on one opponent, then Blissey uses Attract on the other opponent. Then on the second turn, Venusaur uses Sleep Powder on the other opponent and Blissey uses Attract on the other opponent. This way, both of the opponent's pokemon are asleep AND infatuated. Blissey and Venusaur can then use multiple attacks on the opponent to finish them off.

Strategy 3: Rhyperior and Gyarados

Both of these pokemon are powerhouses if they have the right types of moves. Also, Rhyperior's special ability transfers all electric type attacks to Gyarados.

>Implying all Pokemon are male and that all Pokemon will be affected by attract.
