Posted October 28, 2024Oct 28 Hey guys, BlindSpot here! I don't usually post here on the forums so a lot of you may not know me, but I've been playing PokeMMO doubles for roughly 2 years now and something just isn't sitting right with me... I've noticed that doubles doesn't always get the love it deserves compared to other tiers in PokeMMO. I believe that by sharing our favorite combos and strategies, we can help newer players discover the incredible creativity and depth that doubles offers. Plus, it's a great way for all of us to learn from one another! Here are a few combos / leads that I've found really fun and effective: + / : This combo takes advantage of Discharge and Earthquake. Zapdos being able to discharge freely due to it's partner's immunity to Electric-type moves, while Mamoswine / Garchomp can earthquake without worrying about hitting it's partner thanks to Zapdos’s immunity to Ground-type moves. + : Both Pokémon have Inner Focus, meaning they can’t be flinched by Fake Out or Intimidated to lower their attack (Which are both common lead threats) giving this duo a lot of freedom. + : This is a personal favorite of mine! Sableye can use Prankster Will-O-Wisp to self-burn Conkeldurr, activating its Guts ability. Running an Assault Vest on Conkeldurr instead of flame orb to boost it's special defense while also being able to heal off any damage you take with a massive drain punch is not just threatening but... really fun to use! These were just a few simple combos I wanted to share to kick things off, but I’d love to hear about your favorite combos! If you're new and just barely starting to try things out, share your thoughts on what you think might be really fun. Or if you're a veteran player, take a step back and share a combo you remember seeing / coming up with to remind yourself why we all chose to play this tier in the first place. I'm looking forward to your replies! Edited October 28, 2024Oct 28 by imBlindSpot
October 31, 2024Oct 31 Shiftry Zapdos is pretty nice, you set up a tailwind with Zap and get a free att boost. Shiftry generally seems underrated too since it counters Zap, Rain, TR, etc https://pokepast.es/542491dc29fd1fd0
