Author Topic: Old combos... a lost art? Porygone3 Member Member # 73689 posted October 25, 2002 06:13 PM            --Dusts cards off--- I've noticed that alot of people over look some old combos, think that they are a waste of time, that if your not playing with the best of combos you are wasting your time and theres, well- hey if you cant have fun I say whats the point? Take for example Tickle Machine and Inposter Profecor Oak, now when this combo works, it basicly gives you oppenent a hand of 7 cards, most people would say that is pointless... ah unless your playin a decking/stall deck. You want your opponent to draw cards. Now, granted, Elm, and Cleffa, and Now Pro Oak's Reserch messes this combo up, but no combo is perfect. Or the digger/curse combo- sure that does'nt always work... there are others that just seem pointless, Charity and Huracane.. but I guess everyone likes the Traper combo, or the engery removal followed by hyper beem combo, or whatever else that is a "good" combo, what ever happened to playing for fun? Well, just a thought. -------------------- Erica total 24, thats right, 24. Dunsprace total 41. I've gotten 98 on that Machoke at work game. I beat Driving Corasola. I almost beat the record in Hold Down hip hop. I got 2000 or so in Kinglers day. I got 7 in Rapadash's dash. Butterfree's Flower Power 4700. 123 In Jumping Dodoro. My all foil deck is finished.

My newest favorite combo is Expedition Butterfree/Vileplume. My son likes the Expedition-Venusaur/Genesis-Meganium combo. I also like the best Modified stall combo: Damage Swap/Blissey/Tentacool/P-Center/P-Nurse Combos are fun!!!

Blastiose allows you to attach many water energy to Charizard and Charizard lets you turn them all to fire energy. Another would be Alakazam/Tentecule. You keep Tentecule benched and use Alakazam to move damage counters to Tentecule and put him in your hand. This could be catchy! -------------------- Tyranatare Rocks Go Tyra! Go Tyra!

Of course, if you also have an Expedition Ampharos on the Bench, you could Rain Dance onto Blastoise and then use Ampharos's power to move those energies onto your Active Charizard... but I personally prefer using the Ampharos/Blastoise combo with Shining Raichu and Genesis Lanturn. -------------------- He's always ready, he's always set, he's always well prepared.

"Swarm" decks-where your main attakers have a single energy attack, so you can freely heal all damage with Pokemon center. Now that we have Pokemon Nurse, it just got even better and even some evo's can "swarm" (NDi Beedrill, NR Kingdra, and even the non-holo Exp Charizard). -------------------- Imakuni Rules!

Blastoise, Venusar, Porygon2 +3 and charzard active, then you can raindace on blastie 3 watter, convert them to grass via Porygon, then move them with Venusar and burn em with charzard. Oh then get fryed by pichu. hey I didnt say it had to be a good combo. -------------------- Erica total 24, thats right, 24. Dunsprace total 41. I've gotten 98 on that Machoke at work game.
