Not A Bug Bug Report - Mechanics

[ordalca]

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
In Triple battles, it is possible for the side pokemon to AllySwitch with each other, when it should only switch between them and the middle pokemon (as far as I know, attempting to get that confirmed).

Edit: Apparently I was mistaken and this is the proper interaction, as Triple battles in the main games also had the Switch button to swap between middle and side pokemon. Is this supported in any way in Showdown?

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
In a triple battle, use AllySwitch with one of the side pokemon. Check which pokemon gets switched with it.

As OP noted the Ally Switch behavior is intended. The "Shift" button is between the attack and switch buttons, and works as intended, too. It could be a bit more accessible on dark mode so I'll post that to Suggestions
