== Always Maximum ==
==Always Maximum==
I just got a Minccino with Skill Link in W2, and when using it in battle, Double Slap hit 3 times (and didn't KO the opponent). So does the ability really push the hits to their maximum, or just increase the odds of more hits, because Double Slap ''has'' gotten 5 hits more times than I'd expect.

==Triple Kick==
Despite Triple Kick becoming eligible for Skill Link in Gen V, it can only take advantage of it in extremely specific circumstances. I think this is notable trivia, but I wanted to post it here first before adding it to the article.
* However, as of [[Generation VI]], this is only possible by [[Trade#Trading between game generations|trading]] an {{p|Aipom}} with Skill Link that learned {{m|Metronome}} via [[Move Tutor]] in {{3v|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} into a [[Generation IV]] game and then into a [[Generation V]] game, and optionally into a Generation VI game. If Metronome becomes Triple Kick (or any other multi-strike move) under these circumstances and does not miss, it will hit the maximum number of times.
