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

Effect

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 Double Kick). However, if one hit misses, the move ends.
