Double Battle: Difference between revisions

Double Battles were formally introduced into [[Pokémon Adventures]] in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, though multiple Trainers or Pokémon teaming up were common before. They first appeared in ''[[PS198|Adding It Up with Plusle & Minun I]]'', when {{adv|Ruby}} challenges a {{p|Plusle}} and a {{p|Minun}}. They later appear in ''[[PS207|On the Loose and Hyper With Zangoose and Seviper I]]'' when Ruby and a {{tc|Swimmer}} are spotted by a {{p|Seviper}} and a {{p|Zangoose}}. In ''[[PS229|You Can Fight Day or Night With Lunatone & Solrock]]'' [[Tate and Liza]] explicitly state Double Battle tactics during their battle with [[Blaise]], but are overwhelmed by their opponent's illusions.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, during the challenge set by [[Ultima]], {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} fight a Double Battle against each other in the Path of Battling. Here, the trainers are separated by a fence, and the floor they stand on may slide in either direction during the battle, depending on their performance. However, Red and Blue step out from the other end of the path at exactly the same time, meaning that the battle is tied.

Double Battles also make a few appearances in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. In ''[[PS362|Dramatic Drapion & Crafty Kricketune I]]'', {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Platinum}} battle two {{tc|Scientist}}s at [[Lake Valor]], and in ''[[PS381|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim]]'', Diamond and [[Riley]] battle two {{tc|Roughneck}}s on [[Iron Island]].
