Don't listen to those who're saying that formation doesn't affect night battle. Either check this or see below:

Ahead, Double and Abreast have normal damage at night.

Furthermore, Ahead gives additional hit/crit chance, so you will less likely doubleattack for scratch damage. But it lowers your evasion rates, so you gonna see them hit you a little bit more often.

Instead, Abreast gives better evasion and defense at night, so you will get hit quite rarely (except cut-ins) and take less damage.

I tested Double less than those 2 explained, but I'm almost sure it gives you additional evasion at night too.

Reports are saying that Echelon has the highest avoidance rate at night but lowers your damage tremendously. I haven't tested it much, so I can't say for sure.

And '''never go night battle in Diamond! This is not meant for it. It lowers your damage, hitrate and evasion''', which is ridiculously bad.

ATM my favourite formation for only night battles is Abreast. I was farming god know how much times 5-4 through the central route and I was usually succesful at night (unless enemy used too much cut-ins). Oh yes, 1 more thing: cut-ins are unavoidable but can do partial damage or even scratch damage. I dunno what's affecting it, I think I'll do much more tests after the event to make sure.
