This would be where you post strategies for Pokemon battles, whether it be Single or Double battles. Periodically, I will edit this page to have all strategies posted here. Examples would be pokemon pairs or 2-move strategies. Explain how it would work if it's original.
No. 1 - Electivire + Magnezone (Double Battles)
Electivire's ability allows it to gain Speed Boosts when hit by an Electric attack. Magnezone helps here by trapping and getting rid of Skarmory with DISCHARGE, also adding Speed to Electivire. But, Magnezone should have Magnet Rise, HP Grass, Discharge, and Reflect/Light Screen/Screech to fully help Electivire. This is great if you like Electric types.
No. 2 - Typhlosion + Heatran (Double Battles)
Heatran likes getting hit by Fire attacks. Typhlosion helps here with a powerful Lava Plume, also having a high chance of burning the opponents. Heatran should not have EQ with this strategy, nor should it have Explosion. It should use it's standard EVs and nature, but the moves should be Overheat (for Blissey), Flamethrower, Land Power, and Dragon Pulse.
Typhlosion should have Focus Blast, Lava Plume, Sunny Day, and Solarbeam. Sunny Day also helps here to power up both Typhlosion and Heatran, and making Sunnybeaming possible. Entei can do the same for Heatran, but needs HP Ice. This is great for Fire-lovers.
No. 3 - Gengar (Singles and Doubles)
Gengar was a great pokemon when it got Levitate. And Gengar also abuses this in Double Battles. Gengar's immunities to Ground, Fighting and Normal allow it to freely attack while it's partner Explodes or Earthquakes. Mismagius and Shedinja can also pull this off. Gengar can also kill Specsmence's most hated counters; Blissey and Empoleon. Genagr kills Blissey with Explosion as long as it has a Life Orb and it has 128 Att EVs and takes down Empoleon with Thunderbolt. That way, Salamence can rampage through your opponent.
No. 4 - Gyarados + Electivire (Singles)
Not much explanation here. Gyarados weak to Thunderbolt. Gyarados switch to Electivire. Electivire gets a Speed boost from Motor Drive. Electivire kills almost everything.
No. 5 - Salamence + Gyarados (Doubles)
These two were made for each other. Double Intimidate, double EQ, double ownage. But this strategy dies to Froslass and Starmie
No. 6 - Jumpluff + Charizard (Singles)
Jumpluff makes a rather extraordinary set up for Charizard. Leech Seed, then Sleep Powder, then Memento to buy time for Charizard to set up his Belly Drum, SubSalac, and watch him go.
No. 7 - Floatzel + Electivire (Singles)
I haven't even heard of this until ss118 mentioned it. Floatzel is one of the new Baton Passers of DP, and it's weak to electric. So who to pass it's Bulk Up's to other than Electivire! Not only does it get Bulk Ups, but it will also get a speed boost! All this for only 1-2 slots of your competitive team!
No. 8 - Roserade + Manaphy
This may not work too well, but it's thought out. Manaphy and Roserade can use Rain Dance effeciently, as Roserade can use Weather Ball and Manaphy is Uber due to it and Tail Glow.
No. 9 - Ninjask (In general)
Ninjask is the best Bper's in the game. And it helps every physical sweeper. A sub, speed, and maybe a swords dance can really help the slower pokemon such as Rampardos and Rhyperior, and makes other pokemon more deadly than there supposed to be. Any physical sweeper benefits rom this little bugger. But, like most bugs, birds like to ruin their little lives. This would be Skarmory. Beforehand, use a Magnezone to scout for and kill the metal bird.
No. 10 - Spikers + Pseudo-hazers (Pokemon with Roar/Whirlwind)/Anti-Spinner(Ghost)
Spikers and Stealth Rockers, such as Skarmory, can have their day ruined when a Rapid Spinner comes in. But, this will be less likely to happen if you have a Pseudo-Hazer (like Donphan w/Roar) or an Anti-spinner (Dusknoir).
No. 11 - Skarmory + Blissey (Singles)
More likely known as SkarmBliss, these two are one of the best at their game. They also cover each other weaknesses due to their massive defensive stats. But, this can backfire when there's that Electivire runnung Thunderbolt.
No. 12 - Lopunny + Breloom (Doubles)
Thanks to IloveCelebi!!208, we have this strategy. Breloom should have a Choice Scarf when doing this. Breloom spores quickly, then Lopunny will Switcheroo with Breloom, giving it a Toxic Orb. Then they both do what they normally do.
No. 13 - Toxicroak + any Water-type (Doubles)
Toxicroak gets healed by Water attacks, and any Water-type would be using a Water attck like Surf. This would heal Toxicroak and hurt everyone else.
No. 1 - Electivire + Magnezone (Double Battles)
Electivire's ability allows it to gain Speed Boosts when hit by an Electric attack. Magnezone helps here by trapping and getting rid of Skarmory with DISCHARGE, also adding Speed to Electivire. But, Magnezone should have Magnet Rise, HP Grass, Discharge, and Reflect/Light Screen/Screech to fully help Electivire. This is great if you like Electric types.
