introduction
- not an active tier atm because its so new, rip
- format introduced in bw
- was recently coded into the sim by The Immortal
- takes a lot more thought to play successfully than most tiers
- many people are intimidated by the complex system of battling that triples has to offer
- etc
- similar to doubles, spread moves like eq/surf are reduced in power by 25%
- pokemon will not be able to attack eachother if they are too far away from eachother
- because of this, the shift mechanic allows pokemon to move around their position in the battle, but shifting has no priority

EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- U-turn
- Protect
- if put in the center, intimidate effects every opponent pokemon on the field
- can be nicknamed after a doge meme and nobody will criticize you because landorus-t is a flying dog
- wow
- very intimidate
- eq and rock slide will hit every opposing pokemon but damage will be reduced by 25% bc its a spread move
- has advantageous typing, making it immune to volt switch and thus preventing the opponent using volt switch from switching out
- -is resistant to powerful fighting type moves
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Knock Off
- Iron Head
- Protect
- with the ability defiant, increases attack by 2 for every stat lowered by a foe
- thus, bisharp gains +1 atk when intimidated
- this is pretty handy since there are a lot of intimidate users in triples
- stab moves are supereffective to a lot of important trick room setters like cresselia and aromatisse
Ability: Aroma Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Moonblast
- Protect
- Trick Room
- Wish
- is one of the best trick room setters
- aroma veil protects itself and teammates from being taunted, meaning its not possible to prevent aromatisse from using trick room unless it is killed first
- a high hp stat and access to wish also allows it to support teammates very well
conclusion
- triples is a cool tier and you should play it
- it is a new metagame, there are new sets and strategies to be discovered
- even you could be the person who comes up with the next best strategy!!!
