– The first type you create a line with will be the one that will ultimately guides the combo, which adds an extra element of strategy into making your first move
– Will be forced to use whatever move is given to you on said playing field
– Later on, you can change the combo slightly through Support Pokemon
– Choose Support Pokemon from the captured Pokemon you have
– Use Support Pokemon more frequently and they will become friendly towards you
– This has two positive effects; attacks will be a bit higher and if they are the Pokemon you start with, these Pokemon will be more likely to appear at the later parts of a stage
– Difficulty ramps up in later zones and the wild Pokemon become stronger
– Some Pokemon will begin to appear in groups
– Scatter Attack: by starting out with a line that contains five Pokemon or more, you will be to attack all enemies in an upcoming combo
– Starting with a big pack will also raise the possibility of a Link Chance, which allows for even combinations of two Pokemon
– It is also a chance to clear out the playing field entirety, which will have nifty effects of its own
– Wild Pokemon will attack you
– If you start a combo with Chansey, you will be able recoup your damage loss, and bring yourself that much closer to victory
– Pokemon will also break the wall on the top of the screen
– If they do that, the Pokemon will fall into the playing field
– Mr. Mimes will create a brand new barrier at the top
