A Tango of Types
To the dismay of many trainers, GameFreak had the audacity to have this combination on a starter line for three generations IN A ROW!

A Petty Nuzlocke
This type combo was made possible starting from Generation II, and is a very powerful one, boasting just one weakness!...That hits it for quad effective damage.

Jordan & Mimi (Zebstrika & Swoobat)
