Great thread! I love doing these things!
All right, then, without further ado, let me present some of my attack combinations, detailings and counters:
I always thought of
Earthquake and
Magnitude as a sort of colossal Stomp on the ground for non-Ground types, and just manipulating the floor so that it has shock waves going through it if a Ground type did it. Usually the user would simply cause the waves to radiate from them, but all Ground types and some very (and by that I mean
very) skilled non-Ground types can focus the shock waves in one direction, by tipping the Stomp in a very precise angle if the user wasn't a Ground type, and, in the case of Ground types, simply focussing all the energy in that direction.
Fissure could be done by using two of the Pokemon's appendages - in the case of non-Grounds - to stomp in just the right angle in three directions - forward and to the right and left. If done properly, it would cause a gigantic split in the entire crust of the earth (yes, I think of all OHKO's as fatal moves), so that anyone unlucky enough to fall would go straight to the mantle and a horrible death, or if the user reseals the Fissure before the victim reached the bottom, it would quite literally squish the unfortunate one. Painful, eh? Of course, in the age of Trainers, it would be banned, and even in the time when Pokemon roamed free, it would be restricted to duels. Also, the Ground-type would have to have a great multitasking skill in order to pull it off, as the Pokemon would have to send a very powerful surge of Ground energy one way while simultaneously doing the same for the other way, so that the crust would split in two.
Twister would be really fun to describe. I think I'll make a little snippet.

"Nice try," said the Gyarados. "You actually thought a Quick Attack would even harm me, Pidgey?"
"You don't even know the meaning of pain."
All at once, the sea serpent's aqua blue fins began glowing a neon cerulean. They rapidly grew, soon becoming long protrusions that stuck out as lethally as those of a Steelix, but much more suited for the task they would perform.
"No, no no, no, please, sir, forgive me!' cried the Pidgey. She knew very well the pain the next attack could bring. All the elders had been permanently scarred by it - if they had even survived, that is. She shuddered at the thought.
Before the helpless Pidgey could do any more, the Gyarados began violently twisting in mid-air, creating a gigantic tornado that whipped lethally, screeching with its sheer force. The merciless serpent in the tornado's heart began cruelly approaching a nearby stand of trees, hoping to make the pain for his victim even worse than it would soon be. In a matter of seconds, everything within the stand was sucked into the typhloon, rocks whizzing lethally as the bare skeletons of trees spun about. To add a last finishing touch, the creature within began rapidly spewing fire from his mouth, which joined the mad frenzy of boulders, trees and the occasional Pokemon. Finally prepared, he turned to his opponent, letting his anger for besmirching his territory take full control of him.
"You have never felt true pain... but you will now."

Well, that really sucked... and now I don't want to do anything else...
Although I really want to know how Psych Up would work. Does anybody else have an idea?
