There is also a combination tactic that is very powerful and useful. It requires a high Special Attack on an {{bp|Electivire}} and also on a {{bp|Jolteon}}. First, teach them both {{bpm|Discharge}}. In a double battle, have them both use discharge. This will naturally (because of volt absorb) heal Jolteon from Electivires discharge, and Electivire will increase speed because of motor drive from Jolteon's discharge. As a result, the two opponent pokemon will take both the damage from discharges from both Electivire and Jolteon (unless one of the opponent's pokemon ability is [[bp:Lightningrod (Ability)|Lightningrod]]). A counter for this tactic is to use two ground type Pokémon (if facing two ground types, teach Electivire {{bpm|Ice Punch}}). If you like electric types, try out this tactic! | There is also a combination tactic that is very powerful and useful.

[[bp:Frisk (ability)|Frisk]] will identify the opponent's item, and [[bp:Embargo (move)|Embargo]] prevents it from being used. This is a surprisingly effective strategy, potentially eliminating any threat to your team. Still, it is rather gimmicky and usually works only once, so precision timing is required. | |||
