Effect Summary

Hits three times, increasing power by 100% with each successful hit.

Detailed Effect

Triple Kick deals damage and will strike three times, with each kick's power increasing by 10 for a total of 60 power.
Each hit has its own accuracy stat img check, and if one kick misses, the move ends.
The table below shows how likely each amount of kicks is with no accuracy stat img and evasion stat img modifiers:
Amount of kicks Chance for that amount Total power
0 10% 0
1 9% 10
2 8.1% 30
3 72.9% 60
When accounting for all variations (including missing), Triple Kick's effective power is 47.07
Each strike of Triple Kick 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 or a Razor Fang item img each strike has an equal chance to cause the target to flinch status condition img
  • If the target is wearing a Rocky Helmet item img each strike will damage the user.
The Skill Link ability and Loaded Dice item img will cause Triple Kick to only make an accuracy stat img check once.
If it the first strike hits, all others will as well.
  • In Gen 2-3 Triple Kick immediately ends after breaking a Substitute
  • In Gen 2-4 if Focus Sash item img, or Focus Band item img activates before the final hit, the subsequent hit will not cause the target to faint.
