team bonuses?

[gmsniper2]

I was playing a game of pokemon at my local card shop. The guy i played against said that the new team aqua an magma set has bonuses. He said that if you Get ateam magma's conspirator and a maxie trainer in hand at the same time, you can remove them both from the game to get a somewhat overbearing bonus: All of his guys deal double damage (reagardless of weakness/resistance)! Having been my first game in years, all i could do was believe him as i watched him beat the crap out of my bench with his blaine's magmar dealing 200hp to my guys each turn (lava burst 4-5 (r) energy cards). He also said that team aqua doubles the defense?!?
Anyway, will someone please set me in the right direction?

You seriously got duped, dude.

1) There is no such thing as removing cards from play in Pokemon.

2) There's no such thing as a Trainer combo that gives you a bonus. Trainer combos, yes, but no bonuses.

Currently the only Trainer cards that increase your damage are Pluspower, Misty and Strength Charm. Trainers that decrease damage done to you are Defender and Buffer Piece. A Trainer that decreases your damage is Charity.

Bottom line: Cards only do what they say they do.
If he can't show you the card text, it just ain't so.
