There's penalties for trying to command 3 pokemon at the same time.  And if you fail any of the necessary checks, then bad things can happen...

Oh. ummm... does praying to the rng god help? or is it set in stone?

 What are the penalties?  thx, btw!

First of all, all the pokemon you're commanding have to perform an Insight Check.  If they score 2 or more successes, they act normally.

If they don't, though, terrible things might happen.  For example, when Larry tried to do this with Nincada, Oshawott, and Ekans earlier in the campaign, Nincada ended up riding Oshawott into battle (and neither ended up doing the intended action) and Ekans tied itself in a knot trying to figure out who it was supposed to use Wrap on (and gained a point in Disobedience).

The GM can also inflict penalties on the Insight Check if the situation is hectic and crowded (Larry had a slight penalty since it was 3 of us VS a single Scimitar with no pokemon.  5 Wild Pokemon vs 3 trainers with 2 pokemon each is bound to be worse)

You can still try it, but I doubt it will go well at all.
