A moveset created specifically for the {{p|Charizard}} evolution family. The moveset contains {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Fire Punch}}/{{m|Flare Blitz}} and any other move. Held item is a {{b|Salac}}. Belly Drum followed by Substitute maximizes the attack stat and lowers HP enough to activate {{a|Blaze}} and the {{b|Salac}} as long as Charizard's HP is divisible by 4. The power of Charizard's {{type2|Fire}} moves is increased, attack power is maximized and Speed is raised enough to possibly attack first. This results in an incredibly powerful physical Fire attack.

A moveset specifically for {{p|Tyranitar}} (but also viable on others) with the '''Subpuncher''' combo and the '''Boltbeam''' combo. It is also an example of very advanced battling techniques on both sides, as it requires you to predict that your opponent will predict your next attack and switch to something resistant to it. An example of this would be if your opponent has a {{p|Salamence}} in play and expects you to use {{m|Ice Beam}} and thus switches to a {{p|Starmie}}. Predicting the switch, you actually select {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Crunch}} and beat the Starmie on the switch-in.
