A Rotation Battle in Generation VI

A Rotation Battle (Japanese: ローテーションバトル Rotation Battle) is a type of Pokémon battle featuring three to six Pokémon per Trainer, with one Pokémon from each side battling at a time. It appears in the Generation V and VI games. It was introduced in Pokémon Black and White and is predominantly showcased in Black.

A Rotation Battle consists of three Pokémon outside of their Poké Balls, similar to a Triple Battle, but only one Pokémon can attack at a time. Unlike switching or moving positions in a Triple Battle, rotating Pokémon is a free action, meaning both players may rotate and attack in the same turn.

In the games

When a Rotation Battle begins, the first Pokémon able to battle in the player's party will be sent out to the primary position. The second member of the party will be counterclockwise from the first, while the third will be clockwise from the first.

Rotating

Rotating can be done during both the player's and the opponent's turns and has a priority of +6. Rotating is different to switching in that it doesn't use up a turn, reset status conditions like confusion and bad poison, or reset Ability counters like Slow Start. Rotating Pokémon are not hit by Pursuit nor are they affected by Shadow Tag or Arena Trap. Rotating does not trigger Abilities that trigger upon switching such as Natural Cure.

Active Pokémon

Only the active Pokémon plays any part in the battle. Moves and Abilities that affect more than one Pokémon will only affect the opponent's active Pokémon, and Abilities like Flower Gift will only activate if the user is active. Status damage is not received while a Pokémon is inactive.

-===Rotating===
+====Pokémon X and Y====
-Rotating can be done during both the player's and the opponent's turns and has a priority of +6. Rotating is different to switching in that it doesn't use up a turn, reset [[status ailment]]s like {{status|confusion}} and {{status|bad poison}}, or reset Ability counters like {{a|Slow Start}}. Rotating Pokémon are not hit by {{m|Pursuit}} nor are they affected by {{a|Shadow Tag}} or {{a|Arena Trap}}. Rotating does not trigger Abilities that trigger upon switching such as {{a|Natural Cure}}.
