Each strike of Triple Axel is treated like a separate attack:
  • Each strike can get a critical hit independently.
  • Abilities that activate on contact (Static, Weak Armor, Iron Barbs etc.) activate for each strike.
  • If the Sturdy ability, Focus Sash item img, or Focus Band item img activates before the final hit, the subsequent hit will still deal damage and therefore cause the target to faint.
  • If the first hit breaks a Substitute, the second hit will deal damage to the target Pokémon.
  • The move Counter only counters the final hit, but Bide counters the complete damage.
  • If the user is holding a King's Rock item img each individual hit has an equal chance to make the target flinch status condition img
The ability Skill Link and the item Loaded Dice item img cause Triple Axel to only check accuracy stat img and evasion stat img checks once.
  • In Brilliant DiamondShining Pearl this move can not be selected in battle.
