Type Pokémon

Cards Scans:
Base Set 1, (001/102) Holo-Rare
Base Set 2, (001/130) Holo-Rare

Combos:

Alakazam + Tentacool (Fossil):
Remove up to 80 damage each turn! Use Alakazam's Damage Swap to move damage from any Pokémon to a Tentacool, and then use Tentacool's Cowardice Pokémon Power to return it to your hand, thus removing the damage! You can soak up 80 damage a turn! That effectivly eliminated the power of almost every Pokémon!

Alakazam + Mr. Mime (Jungle) + Tentacool (Fossil):
Even better version of the combo above. Mr. Mime's Invisible Wall Pokémon Power will prevent all damage over 20 damage, enough for you to use Alakazam's Damage Swap power to move any damage from Mr. Mime and then remove it with Tentacool. Wow!

Alakazam + Any High HP Pokémon + Pokémon Center:
Stall out your opponent this way! Your Active Pokémon will never be KO'd. Even better, use Pokémon Centers to remove ALL damage from your Pokémon and annoy your opponent even more! Hee hee!

Rulings (official card rulings from WotC):

- Damage Swap is not an attack, so you can't move a damage counter to a Pokémon with a Defender attached to it and then remove the damage counter. (6/29/2000 Chat at WotC)

- Damage Swap is not an attack, so you don't apply weakness or resistance. (8/3/2000 Chat at WotC)

- Damage Swap can only move damage counters between your own Pokémon. You CAN'T move one damage counter from one your Pokémon to one of your opponent's Pokémon. (2/24/2000 Chat at WotC)

- Damage Swap can be used on a Clefairy Doll and Mysterious Fossil, since they don't count as being "Knocked Out". (8/3/2000 Chat at WotC)
