Triple Kick (move): Difference between revisions

gameimage=Triple Kick V.png |

Triple Kick inflicts damage up to three times per turn, but its base power will increase by 10 with each successive hit, so its first, second, and third hits have powers of 10, 20, and 30, respectively. Also unlike other [[multi-strike move]]s, each hit has its own accuracy check; if one hit misses, the entire move ends.

Since each hit has 90% base accuracy, ignoring modifications to accuracy and evasion (including {{status|taking aim}} and {{a|No Guard}}), there is a 72.9% chance that it will hit 3 times (for cumulative 60 base power), an 8.1% chance that it will hit twice (for cumulative 30 base power), a 9% chance that it will hit once (for 10 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 effective power is 47.07.

Triple Kick will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last hit of this move.

If the target has an [[Contact#List of Abilities which have effects involving contact|Ability that activates upon contact]], each hit counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

Triple Kick may continue attacking after a substitute is broken.

Unlike previous generations, if [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activate before the last hit is dealt, the following hit will cause the defending Pokémon to faint; however, [[Focus Band]] can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one. Each hit will cause {{a|Weak Armor}} to activate.

If the target is holding a [[Rocky Helmet]], the user is damaged for each hit.

* This is the only [[multi-strike move]] whose successive hits can miss and have different powers.

* Triple Kick is tied with {{m|Constrict}} for the move with the lowest base power (10) out of all damage-dealing moves, but this only applies to the first hit.
