Triple Threat
OK, added those HP percentages between rounds. Hope that helps make things more clear!
I agree with you sprocket. Shuckle may not look like much but man is it a pain when used right. Nice use of gastro acid on slaking, too! I haven't seen many triple battles on PO and I am very happy to see that someone gave a triples warstory a shot. I'm rather surprised your opponent was a sport and didn't just post "gg" and left, even though there was no chance of him mounting a come back. Triple battles will definitely be something I would do for fun when I get around to it.Moral of the story: Don't fuck with Shuckle.
And I <3 Slaking. That thing is a beast once you get rid of Truant.
I can't even remember what I ate this morning, so I definitely don't remember the Smogon community's view of the Triples metagame 3 months ago, but I imagine that people had little to no idea of what it was like and weren't interested enough to find out. TMN showed a battle against a less-than-stellar opponent but gave us from his side a look into the immense level of creativity possible in the game.Now I'll tell you right up front that in this match both I and my opponent make some misplays. It's also a bit longer than most Triple Battles. Still, it gives you a sample of what they're like, especially for those of you who haven't tried them yet.
