How to select adjacent pokemon when attacking?

[tasched]

Hello, sorry if this is the wrong spot for a post like this, but I'm confused on how the whole 'selected adjacent pokemon' function for some attacks work - does that not mean I can select one of the pokemon next to the pokemon I select initially?

I saw there are also moves that say 'selected pokemon' that seems to function the same - I tried asking in global chat, but I was told that it only hit's one pokemon.

Any help would be appreciated.

This doesn't give you extra hits, the difference between the two is what the move can potentially hit in triple battles. Most moves won't be able to hit the far right target if the user is on the far left side of the field and vise versa as they're not adjacent to you, but some moves (most flying moves + a few others) can hit any target you want them to regardless of positioning. In singles and doubles, everything is adjacent to the user, so there's no difference there.
