Attract+Nasty Plot.

I don't know why, it's just funny. My Houndoom pulls it off so nicely.

Of course, what would be even funnier is Attract/Charm/Captivate + Scary Face/Mean Look. Seems like the latter should cancel out the former, doesn't it?

One of my favourite combos to use is a status-problem move + Hex. I just feel so evil when my Pokemon does lots of damage with Hex thanks to the target having a status problem. It looks especially cool if the status-inducing move is Will-O-Wisp. My Chandelure knows this combo, and I don't want to teach it Shadow Ball to replace Hex.

Another combo I like is Cosmic Power/Defend Order + any HP-restoring move. Usually I alternate the two, and then my Pokemon becomes a super-wall! I had two Pokemon that used this: a Clefable with Cosmic Power and Moonlight, and a Vespiquen with Defend Order and Heal Order.

And here's another one my Excadrill likes to try out: Hone Claws + Horn Drill. Not as uber as Articuno's Mind Reader + Sheer Cold (or my old Poliwrath's Mind Reader + Fissure), and it doesn't always work, but I like to try it out on wild Pokemon, and the OHKO moves are fun to watch.

In a double battle: One Pokemon uses Fake Tears on an enemy, and the other uses a Special attack on the same enemy. Also works with Screech + Physical attack. Only works if the debuffing Pokemon is faster of course. In Colosseum I used to have my Plusle do the Fake Tearing a lot.

And here's one I haven't tried yet: Soak + any Grass or Electric attack. Or Soak on a Flying-type + Earthquake. Either of those will be fun...

Another one I like is Future Sight + Recover, which I have on my Reuniclus. Use Future Sight, and while the foe is attacking, spam Recover until the attack hits.

Also, I miss the move combos you can do in contests of R/S/E... Those games had the best contest system IMO.

Well we have Guts Swellow, which is kinda the same.

Guts: When Burned, the halving effect will not activate and Attack will double
70 Base
x2 for status = 140 BP
x2 Attack = 280 BP
x1.5 for STAB = 420 BP

Not bad. Although he lacks anything to hit Steel types with.
