|gameimage=Triple Axel VIII.png

'''Triple Axel''' (Japanese: '''トリプルアクセル''' ''Triple Axel'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ice}} [[multi-strike move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

Assuming no modifications to accuracy or evasion, since each strike has 90% base accuracy, there is a 72.9% chance that it will hit 3 times (for cumulative 120 base power), an 8.1% chance that it will hit twice (for cumulative 60 base power), a 9% chance that it will hit once (for 20 base power), and a 10% chance that it will miss outright. With all three accuracy checks and base powers taken into account, the move's {{wp|Expected value|average}} effective power is 94.14.

If the target has [[Contact#Abilities|an Ability that activates upon contact]], each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

If the user has {{a|Skill Link}}, the move will have only one accuracy check.

If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or {{a|Stamina}}, each strike will activate it.

{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev8|SwShLA}}|A consecutive three-kick attack that becomes more powerful with each successful hit.}}

In Pokémon UNITE, Triple Axel is {{p|Tsareena}}'s first move. It is obtained by reaching level 5 as {{p|Steenee}} and upgrading {{m|Razor Leaf}} into it instead of {{m|Stomp}}. The user spin-kicks 3 times in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies. Landed hits add a Triple Axel Buff stack. The stacks last for 5s and decay together. During the duration of the buff, basic attack speed is increased depending upon the number of stacks (caps at 3 stacks). In addition, all damage dealt by basic attacks or Triple Axel during the buff is increased by 5% per stack (caps at 6 stacks). If {{a|Queenly Majesty}} is active, each kick heals the user. At level 10, this move's damage is increased.

* Along with {{m|Triple Kick}}, it is one of only two [[multi-strike move]]s where the chance to miss for successive hits is independent of the first hit.

* Triple Axel shares its description with Triple Kick.

* Even though Triple Axel is referred to as a "consecutive three-kick attack", {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Milotic}}, {{p|Froslass}}, {{p|Cryogonal}}, the {{p|Popplio}} [[evolution]]ary line, and {{p|Frosmoth}} can all learn Triple Axel despite not having feet.
