Summary
The reason that these two work so well together is mainly because of their abilities and the use of the move Discharge. They each have special roles that they play. Plusle is the more sweeper of the two, while Minun is the tank and mainly supports Plusle. Given their not bad speed stat, they can outspeed and KO many threats. The main move you will use is discharge, because it damages the enemy while also supporting your partner. If Plusle uses it, Minun gets its health back,which is good for it. When Minun uses it, Plusle gets a boost to its Sp.Atk, so it can sweep more efficiently. You will be using Discharge almost the whole time, unless you it is not very effective or you can better a better hit. Even if Discharge doesn't affect the enemy that much, it supports your ally, which is what makes this strategy work. just keep Discharging and you'll make it! (Note- I realized you may move around the EVs and moves like Sweet Kiss and Charm on Minun to be more physically bulky, but it's your call)
