Team: Plusle & Minun
Strategy: Electromagnetic Shield - Plusle and Minun levitate (same effects as the ability, applied on both); whenever a member of the team uses Helping Hand, its Defense and Special Defense both raise by one level.
Plusle's Technique Synergy:
Alpha Ray (Thunder + Nasty Plot)
- Type:

- Classification:

- Power: 100
- Accuracy: --%
- Effect: Raises user's Special Attack by 1 (by 2 under Rain); has 10% chance to paralyse the target.
- Flavor (optional): Minun generates a pipe-shaped electric field that accelerates protons directly to the target of Plusle's ray of positive charges.
Minun's Technique Synergy:
Low Frequency Wave (Discharge + Tearful Look)
- Type:

- Classification:

- Power: 80
- Accuracy: 100%
- Effect: Hits all adjacent Pokemon; Lowers target's Attack and Special Attack by 1; has 30% chance to paralyse the target.
- Flavor (optional): Minun concentrates an enormous amount of negative charges, then Plusle jumps to the center of them and pulses to create a tsunami-like wave of electrons.
Overview: Remember both members' hidden abilities make them benefit from being hit by an Electric-type move, so you can spam Minun's signature move and Plusle's Discharge as much as you want; the only problem for them are Electric- and Ground-type opponents, cause these rodents don't have any coverage, but I think they can accumulate enough power to blast them with a HP Ice. Also, they are the first pair that can form a Volt-turn core with another pair, or that can more generally switch all in the same turn (with Baton Pass also, consider all the boosts).

Team: Mamoswine & Yanmega
Strategy: Prehistoric Awakening - Both members of the team gain a 1/2 resistance to Rock-type and to all of its resistances; Ancient Power has a 100% chance to activate its secondary effect for the first time it is used (so only the first member that uses it gets the boost, then the percentage returns to 10%).

- Accuracy: 100%
- Effect: Hits all adjacent Pokemon; applies the effects of Defog on the field.
- Flavor (optional): WIP.

I'll be closing votes now, seeing as we haven't had any for a while. That means the winners at three votes each are Drampa & Turtonator, Plusle & Minun, Gliscor & Tyranitar, and Mamoswine & Yanmega. There are also some with two votes, but I'll be making a nomination for just one due to the low amount of votes. My personal vote goes to Linoone & Hitmontop, which I find to be rather creative. Congratulations to Yung Dramps, Stitch98, Bmw6446, and Cookie Butter for their winning submissions! Rank ups to Bmw6446 (who is now Flower Rank) and Stitch98 (who is now Shell Rank)! Submissions have opened again.
