No, it's not too much harder to focus on energy in a battle when you have more than 1 Pokemon out at once, I had some triple battles in the past, and even though I won them all, I paid attention most of the time. I guess in this battle I got too carried away with having Orbius defend Shira with his Psychic type moves usage on Kitsune Chan, I won't make that same mistake in the future, hopefully.

Even in a loss, you still can learn something new.
