What are some of the best move combos in Pokemon you have found?

I breed Pokemon in the game and am pretty good at IVs and EVs and such. I have thought of a few good tactics, such as

What are some of the best move combos that you have found so far? :DExplain your choices, and why they make good combos.

Please read all the answers before posting, to avoid duplicate answers. Yes, all 200+ of them.

This one’s not really convienent, but it’s hilarious to use in a battle against a friend who is not using a ghost type pokemon. You get a pokemon like Starly that is around level 1 (it’s funniest at level one, but other low levels work too) and teach it Endevor and Quick Attack. Have it hold a focus sash. When your friend’s high level pokemon (and thus faster than you)attacks, you hang on with the focus sash. You use endevor, reducing their HP to 1. Then you use quick attack. Again, not practical for your average battle, but funny to use against a friend.

Other more serious combos include Sleep Powder (or another sleep inducing move like hypnosis) and dream eater or Sleep Powder and Focus Punch.

I think you’ve covered all the best ones. Endure+Reversal is a deadly combination if your pokemon is faster than the opponent.

One cool one is Mean Look and Perish Song. You stop your opponent fleeing but guarantee they will faint. You can even stop your Pokemon fainting if you switch out right before the third turn.

Articuno can learn Mind Reader (guaranteed hit next move) and Sheer Cold (OHKO). I think Poliwrath could also learn a similar combination in generation 2. And of course, Smeargle can learn any move, so Mind Reader or Lock-On then a OHKO move would work.

If you play double battles, have one Flying-type pokemon, or one with the Levitate ability (e.g. Bronzong). Your second pokemon can then use Earthquake to its heart’s content - it hits both opposing pokemon but misses your team-mate.

Scyther can actually do a pretty big amount of damage with fury cutter.

Item: Metronome/wide lens/evolite (whichever you find best)

In case you don’t know, Fury cutter starts off with a measly base 20 power, but it doubles after each successful use, going from 40, to 80, and peaks at 160. Scyther gets STAB from it since he’s a bug type, as well as a power up from technician. On top of that, you can use the metronome, which powers up moves used repeatedly.

base power X STAB X technician X Metronome level

Turn 1: 20 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.1 =50 base powerTurn 2: 40 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.2 =108 base powerTurn 3: 80 * 1.5 * 1.3 =156 base powerTurn 4: 160 * 1.5 * 1.4 =336 base power

Not the greatest strategy, nor the most dependable, but it’s still pretty nice.

Use Rotom-W and Scizor. Give Rotom volt switch and scizor U-turn. Have them use the moves together to mess with the foe and switch between each other. Scizor resists everything Rotom is weak to, and Rotom resists everything Scizor is weak to. Use it in the rain for extra fun coverage. It takes good prediction to use this, but you’ll be left virtually unscathed if you pull it off right.

Have a Zangoose with The ability Toxic Boost (physical attacks get stronger when poisoned) combined with facade.

Swagger and punishment is awesome. It not only confuses your opponet, but it raises his attack power. That will make swagger hurt him more and it will raise the power of punishment.

For single battles:

Have Cofagrigus take a physical hit. This will make your foe’s ability Mummy. Send in either Regigigas or Slaking. Then, hit the foe with a physical attack. Regigigas/Slaking will then gain the ability Mummy. This is the most reliable way to remove Truant and Slow Start. Now you have two Pokemon with incredibly high stats with no hindering ability (actually, since they now have Mummy as an ability, they have a great ability now.)

Now there are two points about this strategy that stop it from making it worth making Slaking and Regigigas OU.

When you switch in, you’ll take a hit. Thankfully Slaking and Regigigas are incredibly bulky. And they won’t be switching in on a Fighting type attack, seeing as you are switching out from Cofagrigus. Slaking also has Slack Off to provide healing.

The turn after you switch in Slaking or Regigigas, the foe is going to switch. Regigigas has no way to deal with this unfortunately. However, Slaking can easily deal with this. Slaking has access to the move Pursuit, which means that you’ll still be getting the ability Mummy even when the foe switches out, in addition to damaging the foe. Even if they don’t switch out, you’ll get the ability Mummy.

Venom Shock + Toxic Spikes STAB is one of my favorite. when delivered by a poison type, it has 195 base power.

Justified+ beat up-boosts attack several stages.

Fury Swipes (or any multi hit move) +breakable armor-same as Justified, but different ability.

Those are a few I thought up.

In a double battle, have a Magnezone and a pokemon with the ability levitate, then have Magnezone use Role Play on that pokemon. He’ll get the ability and lose his 4x ground weakness.

I love Hypnosis, Dream Eater, Nightmare and Protect. You can teach it to a Gengar.

It is even better if you do it with a Darkrai and teach it Dark Void instead of Hypnosis. With its Bad Dreams ability you are barely ever going to lose!

In a double battle, have a fast pokemon use Belly drum while the other uses psych up to take it. As long as you prepare for attacking foes properly, it can do tons of damage.

Choice scarf+trick+trick roomFirst turn:Use trick (generally you are speedier holding choice scarf)

Second turn:The oppenent is speedier so use trick room. With this strategy, you play first and the oppenent can use only one move. Also generally the first move the oppenent use is stealth rock, so he will fail consecutively.

Use simple beam on Archeops to do away with defeatist. It also turns his hone claws into a swords dance with +2 accuracy, great for focus blast. (though it’s special, it’s still nice on his monstrous stats) If you feel really risky, you could even send him defense boosts or aqua ring to help him even more. (a pokemon like Vaporeon could use this well.) Defense is a bit more important to him than special defense since most of the priority moves that hit him are physical. He won’t have much trouble outspeeding things. You now have a hard hitting, fast, physically bulky sweeper.

In a triple battle, give a fast pokemon a sweeping move with little to no immunities. Have your sweeping pokemon in the middle and let him attack. Have your other two pokemon use helping hand together, giving you two boosts on top of Things like STAB, items, etc. The other pokemon can also carry priority moves to deal with other priority abusers, moves like heal bell to deal with status, especially from prankster, heal pulse to restore team health, moves to deal with abilities like flash fire, and dual screens to better protect your sweeping pokemon. This works wonders with multitarget moves like eruption. Even if he pokemon has a double resistance to the move you’re using, they’ll take a pretty hard hit. I personally like thus strategy with typhlosion and eruption to hit multiple targets. In one turn, you could rip apart your opponent’s team. Pokemon. Like archeops, gengar, dragonite, and contrary serperior can use this trick very well. Just know that multi-target moves are a nice way to add on the pain to the opponent.

Tropius @ Lum BerryAbility: Harvest (DW) (May renew used up berry)

The idea here is that Tropius does whatever, than rest as much as you want, while Lum Berry cures the SLEEP status. Harvest may restore that berry for you, allowing another rest next turn!This is a very annoying combo and worksgreatfor stalling! ~

toxic orb/flame orb+ psycho shift. This gives your opponent instant status. You can finish things up with a bit of facade to add to the fire.

In a double battle, have evolite Rhydon with the ability Lightningrod. Have your partner use the move soak on him, turning him into a water type. This, combined with his ability, leaves him with only one weakness, which could be covered with ice punch. He loses earthquake STAB, but if you set up curse with him, it won’t make much of a difference thanks to his power. It does open you up to STAB aqua tail though. Imagine soaking shedinja. If his partner has lighteningrod, he would only have one weakness.

In a double battle, use simple beam on a pokemon with shell smash.

It’s strongly advised that the shell smashing pokemon holds a White herb.

You could also go defensive and use Cotton guard for full defense instantly,

Other moves: quiver guard, cosmic power, etc.

I found that having a poke’mon, preferably Snorlax that knows Rest, Sleep Talk, Body Slam and Counter is a great combo. You take a bunch of damage the first time you use Counter, then use Rest. After that, use Sleep Talk. It gives you a 2 out of 3 shot to do an attack move.

Swagger/flatter+ psych up

Attack your foe with the confusion and stat boost while copying it the next turn.
