==Effect==
==Effect==
===[[Generation II]]===
===Generation II===
Triple Kick inflicts damage three times in a single turn. The base power of each successive hit increases by 10. Therefore, the last hit has a base power of 30. Because it deals damage in three hits, each hit has its own accuracy check (as opposed to {{m|Double Kick}}). However, if one hit misses, the move ends. Ignoring {{m|Lock-On}} and {{m|Mind Reader}} and modifications to accuracy and evasion, there is a 72.9% chance that it will hit 3 times, an 8.1% chance that it will hit twice, a 9% chance that it will hit once, and a 10% chance that it will miss outright. Considering Triple Kick's multiple accuracy checks and ignoring Lock-On and Mind Reader and modifications to accuracy and evasion, the move's effective power is 47.07.
Triple Kick inflicts damage, hitting the target up to three times per use. Its base power will increase by 10 with each successive strike, so the first, second, and third strikes have powers of 10, 20, and 30, respectively. Also unlike other [[multi-strike move]]s, each strike has its own accuracy check; if one strike misses, the move ends, reporting that the move has hit fewer than three times.
 
Since each strike has 90% base accuracy, 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 strike of this move.


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


===[[Generation III]]===
Triple Kick may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute.
If the target has [[Contact#List of Abilities which have effects involving contact|an Ability which activates upon contact]], each hit counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.


===[[Generation IV]]===
===Generation V===
Same as previous generations, except it will continue attacking after a substitute is broken.
If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}, or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.


===[[Generation V]]===
If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}}, each strike will activate it.
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.
If the target is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}}, the user is damaged for each strike.
 
If the user has {{a|Skill Link}}, the move will have only one accuracy check.

Triple Kick (Japanese: トリプルキック Triple Kick) is a damage-dealing Fighting-type multi-strike move introduced in Generation II. It is the signature move of Hitmontop.

Effect

Generation II

Triple Kick inflicts damage, hitting the target up to three times per use. Its base power will increase by 10 with each successive strike, so the first, second, and third strikes have powers of 10, 20, and 30, respectively. Also unlike other multi-strike moves, each strike has its own accuracy check; if one strike misses, the move ends, reporting that the move has hit fewer than three times.

Since each strike has 90% base accuracy, 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 substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

Generations III and IV

If the target has an Ability that activates upon contact, each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

Triple Kick may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute.

Generation V

If a Focus Sash, Focus Band, or Sturdy activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.

If the target has Weak Armor, each strike will activate it.

If the target is holding a Rocky Helmet, the user is damaged for each strike.

If the user has Skill Link, the move will have only one accuracy check.
