Triple Threat
If it works the way it did in 4th gen, and I believe it does, moves that have multiple targets are not affected by Storm Drain and Lightningrod at all. In 5th gen, Pokemon with these abilities will nullify the damage to themselves and get a boost, but they don't stop any of the other targets being hit by the attack, friend or foe.Sorry to ask again, but just to clarify - by moves that can target do you mean a move like say Hydro Pump that targets, or also spread moves which you could concievably click on your teammate to use, thereby "targeting them" with it? I think what you mean is that if the SD/LR mon is in one of the spots which could be hit by any attack of the corresponding type, no matter which side of the field, it will absorb it totally and noone else will be hit by it. Correct me if that's wrong, though.
