+===Trainer's Guide: Triple Battle===
-* '''Pinsir''' (Japanese: '''カイロス''' ''Kailios'') is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon. It is classified as the Stag Beetle Pokémon.
+* '''Triple Battle'' is a type of [[Pokémon battle]] that features six Pokémon with three of them battling on either side. It was introduced in [[Generation V]] and was shown more prominently in {{v|White}}.
-* Its National dex number is 127. It is #113 in the Johto dex{{tt|*|112 in GSC}} and #167 in the Hoenn dex.
+* When a triple battle begins, Pokémon will be sent out in order. The first Pokémon able to battle in the [[party]] becomes the leftmost Pokémon on the field, the second becomes the center Pokémon, and the third becomes the Pokémon on the far right.
-* Pinsir can have the abilities {{a|Hyper Cutter}} or {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Its hidden ability is {{a|Moxie}}.
+* The placement of the Pokémon is a major attribute of triple battles, as a Pokémon's positioning affects how certain moves and abilities work. Generally, Pokémon on the left-side of the field cannot attack any one on the right-side (including allies), and vice versa. This also means a Pokémon in the center is free to hit any Pokémon on the field, but at a cost of being vulnerable to every other Pokémon.
-* Pinsir made its anime debut in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' under the ownership of [[Samurai]]. It was used in a battle against [[Ash's Metapod]].
+* Most moves have the same effect in triple battles as with single and double battles, the only restriction is that they can only affect adjacent Pokémon. Moves that hit both opponents or all Pokémon in double battles only affect adjacent Pokémon in triple battles.
-* Pinsir first appeared in [[Pokémon Adventures]] as the Pokémon [[Pika]] fought and lost against due to the uselessness of the fake items {{adv|Red}} bought from {{adv|Green}}.
+* The Pokémon on the left and right have the option to 'move'. This option allows the user to switch with the Pokémon currently in the middle. Moving has no priority and none of the effects of switching apply to moving.
-* {{TCG|Pinsir}} has been featured on {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pinsir (TCG)}} - 1}} different cards since it debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Pinsir cards are normally {{ct|Grass}} {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}.
+* The first official triple battle was seen in the anime in episode ''[[BW053|A Maractus Musical!]]'', where {{Ash}} battled against [[Toby]]'s three {{p|Maractus}} with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Snivy}}.
-* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pinsir stars in a mini-game alongside {{p|Scyther}} called "Clear Cut Challenge". Each player chops a falling log for each round of the game. The score for each player is determined by how close the player is to the white line on the log. Cut anywhere above the log will cause the player to lose points.
