Each Trainer sends out one Pokemon (or the single Trainer sends out two in a 2v1).
Each Trainer operates on their own initiative, but Trainers on the same side are considered allies.
Trainers cannot command any Pokemon but their own, even if the Pokemon is on their side.
Each Trainer selects up to three Pokemon contribute to their side's party, a maximum of six However, they can only swap their own Pokemon with their own Pokemon If a Trainer on one side does not have three Pokemon available, the other Trainer may not lend a Pokemon or add a fourth to their side's party.

Each Trainer sends out three Pokemon at once.
All Pokemon can take a separate action a. bonus action, but if the Trainer takes an action, Pokemon can take an action.
