===Trainer's Guide: Triple Battle=== | |||
* '''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}}. | |||
* 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. | |||
* 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. | |||
* 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. | |||
* 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. | |||
* 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}}. | |||
