So a few days ago I felt like using all 6 of my Pokémon in Battle Spot, and that led me to trying out Triple Battles. Turns out I like them quite a bit. It's a different strategy than singles, it's a lot more hyper-offense based, since any one pokémon can be double- or triple-teamed in any given turn.
Anyone else do these?
I prefer Single Battles to Triple Battles. A strategy for Triple Battles that I have is you should always have a couple move that hits all of your opponents on the Pokemon that's in the center, and then have standard competitive sets on the other two Pokemon. But, that leads me to why I like Single Battles better, because two or three of your opponent's Pokemon could gang up on one of your's, which could cause an unfair battle, but in Single Battles, that can't happen.
I know this is a smogon illegal setting, but a drizzle politoad, swift swim kingdra, and rain dance jolteon (sent out in that order) KILLS in a triple battle. Especially if kingra has muddy water. Screw that low accuracy, that move is deadly. Don't know how it would do in the metagame (won't find out as it's illegal) but in the EV trained PWT, It even takes down dragon trainers. :3
I love triple battles.
