Combo Moves, but Better!

Hey! If you've played the games, you'll know that if you're good enough friends with your starter Pokémon, you can teach them a "combo" move, which, if used in conjunction with another starter Pokémon's combo move of a different type, unleashes a super move.

I think this idea has MASSIVE untapped potential.

Imagine if there were hidden combinations, where if you put together two moves, it unleashed something powerful.

Example:

Alakazam and Starmie are in play. Alakazam uses Telekinesis, and Starmie uses Gyro Ball, unleashing PSYCHIC BUZZSAW!!! Starmie is flung telekinetically around the battlefield, slashing at enemies with brutal efficiency!

Another example:

Klefki and Venasaur are in play. Venasaur uses Solar Beam, charging up. (it isn't sunny.) Klefki uses Dazzling Gleam, insta-charging Solar Beam and turning it into Gleaming Explosion, unleashing a devastating attack on both opponents!

This is an idea post, but please add in your ideas for combos like this!

(I haven't played any of the newer games, so this might already be a thing. Don't think so, though.)

    I've had similar ideas!

    I like yours better

    But my idea was combining attacks with one Pokémon

    Like, Close Combat+Fire Punch

    Destroy them with a flurry of burning fists

    Fire Spin+Blaze Kick

    The Pokémon lights it foot on fire and twirls, attacking with a burning cyclone, it in the center

    I think you can see where I'm going

    But I really like yours!

    Well, it's a thing for three very specific moves: Fire Pledge, Water Pledge, and Grass Pledge.

    Well, the approval system makes me look like I'm pointing out stuff that already has been pointed out. When I submitted this, there weren't any replies!

    So I'll offer this tidbit extra: Fusion Bolt and Fusion Flare was also this combo concept, but no one's (?) ever seen it before because of the difficulty of actually having the Pokémon to set it up with on the same team.
