Triple battles are one of the many forms of Pokémon battling, being popular with Trainers in the region of Unova. As the name suggests, triple battles are a type of battle where each Trainer sends out three Pokémon at once. Due to this, they can be considered the successor to a double battles, with the only difference seemingly being the number of Pokémon. However, there are some restrictions that differentiate it from its predecessor other than the amount of Pokémon, such as placement.
Placement
Placement is a major attribute of a triple battle, as a Pokémon on the left of the field cannot attack one on the right side, and vice-versa. A Pokémon in the center, however, is free to hit any Pokémon on the field, be it on the left side, the right side, or in the center. However, this comes at a cost of being vulnerable to every other Pokémon.
Abilities and moves
Certain abilities and moves can affect moves in triple or double battles. One example is Telepathy, which protects a Pokémon from receiving damage from its own teammates in triple or double battles, such as when a teammate uses Earthquake. Some moves can hit any opponent regardless of placement. These moves are:
Moving
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. A Pokémon can move even if it is the last Pokémon on its team. When there are only two Pokémon left on the field and they are non-adjacent to each other, then both Pokémon will automatically be moved to the center of the field.
