Not A Bug Commander in Triples

[KeterVGC]

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
It might be intended, but the Commander ability doesn't work in Triples.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
I tried it in a custom game with Friends and, while dondozo and Tatsugiri were on the field together, led together, switched in together in adjacent slots or switched in different turns, Commander never activated.

Quoting DaWoblefet:

the game specifically doesn't let Commander work in anything but a double battle
it doesn't work in raids, multi battles, etc. There's a few other things hardcoded like that too (I think Hospitality and Hold Hands, not sure if either are implemented on Showdown)

This is essentially undefined behavior. Hold Hands used to work in Triple Battles, and both Hospitality and Hold Hands still function in gen 9 on the simulator. I think the biggest issue with Commander is that we would have to make assumptions about how the ability would behave in every possible scenario in Triples.

If you'd like to see this implemented, I would suggest making a post here, arguing that it's a generational oversight — maybe it will get accepted.
