dodrio
retreat cost: none
pokemon power: "Retreat Aid"
As long as Dodrio is Benched, pay 1 Energy less to retreat your Active
Pokemon.
dragonite
retreat cost: 1 colorless
pokemon power: "Step In"
Once during your turn (before you attack) if Dragonite is on your Bench, you
may switch it with your Active Pokemon.
...maybe you're starting to see the plan here ;D
[simulation #1]
you have benched dodrio and an active dragonite. ::poof:: dragonite has a
zero retreat cost! this alone is great and (of course!) can be used with any
pokemon (especially that regularly have 1 retreat cost).
[simulation #2]
you have a benched dodrio, benched dragonite and an active _snorlax_
(replace with any 2 retreat cost + pokemon- snorlax makes good example
'cause he is widely hated for his retreat cost). now, you want to retreat
'ol snorlax and now what used to be a quite costly move can be done
without
losing any of those precious energies!
step 1- use dragonites "step in"
step 2- retreat dragonite (free because of dodrio!)
step 3- pick up any pokemon off of your bench and don't worry about that
pesky retreat cost!!
this is a great combo because both dragonite and dodrio are colorless! great
for filling up space in a high retreat cost deck. personally, i think this
combo works well in electric decks because of the complementing
resistance/weakness of dragonite+dodrio and most electric pokemon.
have fun guys!
