       [5th Gen] Triples

       Triples can be a very tricky and strategic metagame; especially
       teams that revolve around Protect and large area moves like Surf
       and Earthquake w/ Flying mons and Levitating mons, and not to
       mention the ever annoying Weavile/Whimsicott Beat Up + Terrakion
       Rock Slide/EQuake + Tornadus/Thundurus Tailwind gimmick. And I
       want to talk about a specific type of team I have been itching
       to try: a team that abuses the use of Flatter that speeds the
       use of setting up. For example:
       Toxicroak @ Focus Sash, Jolly Nature
       252 Speed 252 HP 4 Atk
       Dry Skin
       - Flatter
       - Gunk Shot
       - Cross Chop
       - Toxic
       Chansey @ Eviolite, Bold
       252 HP 252 Def 4 SpDef
       Natural Cure
       - Aromatherapy
       - Protect
       - Toxic
       - Seismic Toss
       Politoed @ Leftovers, Bold
       252 Def 252 HP 4 SpAtk
       Drizzle
       - Hydro Pump
       - Protect
       - Hypnosis
       - Rain Dance
       Clampearl @ Deepseatooth, Timid
       252 SpAtk 252 Spe 4 HP
       Any Ability
       - Shell Smash
       - Ice Beam
       - Surf
       - Protect
       These are the four main Pokemon that will play a giant roll in
       this teams succes. The other two will only be filler and are not
       a huge part of this teams success. The first 3 sent out are
       Toxicroak (1st), Clampearl (in the middle; 2nd), and Politoed.
       Turn 1
       What you need to do is get Politoed out for Blissey, get
       Toxicroak to use Flatter on Clamperl and Clamperl to try to
       Shell Smash but trying not to get murdered, which is hard to do
       but not impossible, Ive done it before.
       Turn 2
       Clampearl use Protect and Blissey goes for Aromatherapy to cure
       its confusion , which I believe goes through Protect. Toxicroak
       then uses Protect to not get killed as well.
       Turn 3
       Blissey will want switch to one of the filler Pokemon (I prefer
       Cradily for Storm Drain), and then Clampearl uses Surf to murder
       everyone without Water Absorb, Dry Skin or Storm Drain. Ive
       sweept using a Clamperl before on Triples before so dont doubt
       me. It is a great meta, and I would recommend it if Showdown
       supported it..
