Triple Battles

Triple Battles are similar to Double Battles in the previous games. It is likely that Triple battles will appear a lot in gameplay.

Targetting

The way you target an opponent's Pokémon depends on where the Pokémon attacking is located.

• Pokémon on the left can hit the opponent on the left and middle
• Pokémon on the middle can hit all the opponent
• Pokémon on the right can hit the opponent on the right and middle

You also move Pokémon around as well, but this will cost you your turn. Also the Pokémon that is in the middle will do more damage to all the other Pokémon when using an attack that damages all the opponents Pokémon.

Rotation Battle

This is another new feature in Pokémon Black Black & White. This is set up like a Triple Battle. You send out three Pokémon and you rotate them into battle. However only the Pokémon in the centre can battle, you can rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise.

Rotating does not stop your turn though and you can attack straight away after the rotation, speed is calculated after the rotation.

Miracle Shooter

The Miracle Shooter is a new option for Multiplayer battles. If you have the Miracle Shooter option switched on it allows you and your opponents to use items during the battle, although items are not used in the same way in Wireless Battles.

In order to maintain balance, the items have to be earned throughout the battle. Whenever you take your turn, you will get a number of points, the exact number of which is yet to be determined, and you can use these points to then purchase the use of the item. Like in the main games, this will take up your turn. There are many items possible to be used but they include items such as Revive, Ether and X Attack
