Dodrio opens its beaks and positions its heads so each beak becomes a corner in the shape of a triangle. An orb of energy then forms inside Dodrio's beaks, the right one colored green, the top one indigo and the left one red. A red triangle then forms in between the orbs. Once the triangle starts to turn indigo, Dodrio fires the triangle at the opponent. | ||

Trivia
- Though many Pokémon whose design incorporates three heads learn this move, neither Exeggutor nor Combee can learn the move.
- Tri Attack is one of the two non-Ice-type moves that can freeze the target, the other being Secret Power. Coincidentally, both of these moves are Normal-type.
