I'm gonna bury you in the ground~
To prevent confusion, this isn't for resource purposes. It's more of an open discussion.
Basically I want to see pairings of Pokemon in 3rd Gen that allow a certain kind of synergy between each other (like SkarmBliss) and why. It can be defensive, offensive, a combination of both, or that cool, gray area in between. I'll start with:
Celebi + Suicune
Defensively, Celebi covers both of Suicune's weaknesses while Suicune can take hits from most of what would hit Celebi. On stall teams, Leech Seed and Pressure can cause a major annoyance, especially with access to Recover and Rest/Sleep Talk respectively.
Offensively, both Pokemon have the ability to set up against common special walls. Celebi can use Leech Seed + Calm Mind to set up easily against Snorlax with some HP/Def investment. While not a tank, Suicune can use an offensive spread (252 SAtk / 252 Spd) to outpace and rip apart Zapdos on incoming. Both Pokemon have the ability to force non-CM Blissey out through use of their respective recovery moves. Aside from that, their moves (plus Hidden Power) allow for great coverage, capable of tearing down a good chunk of many teams, as seen in Jabba's infamous team.
This pairing, in particular, gets torn apart by Regice and can be worn down to uncomfortable levels by the common Sandstorm and Spikes. The rare Drill Peck Zapdos can sink its talons in deep as well.
