Combination Moves

Combination Moves can be executed by delaying a user’s turn until an allied user uses a move at the same time. This uses up the turns of both users, but they can both add their attacking stats and gain an additional effect if another user is present.
The Damage Base of a Combination Move is increased by +1 for each Pokemon or Trainer participating who would gain STAB from the Move and when an attacker crits on their attack roll.

Combination Moves are typically created by averaging the DB of the moves being combined and adding +2-4 DB, depending on the strength of the effect. If the combined moves typically activate on a certain roll, then they are always activated in a Combination Move. Effect 2 is more extreme and usually where I deviate from normal effects. Status Moves tend to spread the Combat Stage boosts across everyone performing the Combination Move, like with Howl of the Pack.

This is SO cool, but also feels so... way out there? Like, it would change a lot how players (and GMs) face combat. This is one of those I would be on the fence about implementing it.
