This one is used in the tongue block embouchure. You start in the same position as you do for the pull... your tongue blocking all holes. You then pull the right side of the tongue off only... the left side that covers the three holes stays. You can also do this for octaves, where you start covering four holes and then pull off the right-most and left-most holes... keeping your tongue on the middle two. Try the lick below with side pulls.
