'''Triple Finish''' ({{ja|さんみいったい|Sanmi Ittai}}, ''Trinity'') is the [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s [[Final Smash]].

==Overview==
===In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
[[File:Triple Finish.jpg|thumb|Triple Finish in ''[[Brawl]]''.]]

Pokémon Trainer calls out all three of his Pokémon to perform a synchronized team attack. [[Squirtle]] uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Hydro Pump|move}}, a multi-directional spray of water. [[Ivysaur]] uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Solar Beam|move}}, a narrow beam of concentrated light, to create a wide projectile that holds targets in place. [[Charizard]] uses {{iw|bulbapedia|Fire Blast|move}}, firing six large flames in the shape of the Japanese character "{{ja|大|dai}}" that also act as the move's finishing blow. Once the attack has ended, Pokémon Trainer recalls the two inactive Pokémon, and the Final Smash ends.

During Triple Finish, Pokémon Trainer shouts, "Take this! Triple Finish!" with an accompanying dialogue box (which incorrectly reads "Take '''that!'''" instead of "Take '''this!'''") like in the ''Pokémon'' games. A moment later, the text changes to "It's super effective!", even if it doesn't hit any opponents. The text box hides [[damage meter]]s and appears in [[Snapshot]]s. The camera zooms in on the trio at the start of the move, zooming out as it progresses.

The move does more damage to opponents that are closer to the Pokémon, where they can take up to 58% damage. However, if the opponent is too close, they will be sent straight up and out of the attack by a concentrated ball of energy in front of the Pokémon. It can also be used in mid-air.

===In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
The move functions very similarly to how it worked in ''Brawl''. The maximum damage dealt has decreased to 51.8%. Opponents now get properly trapped in the attack as long as it connects, fixing the issue of opponents being launched upwards when used point-blank.

The male Pokémon Trainer now properly says "Take that! Triple Finish!" to match the dialogue box and the new female Pokémon Trainer says "Go! Triple Finish!", with her own dialogue box reflecting this. Also, Squirtle's Hydro Pump has been reworked into a whirlpool, Ivysaur's Solar Beam is wider, and Charizard fires five Fire Blasts instead of six.

During the attack, all three Pokémon will have glowing yellow eyes, but only the active one will have the glowing Final Smash aura.

==Origin==
[[File:FireBlastRBY.gif|thumb|200px|{{iw|bulbapedia|Fire Blast|move}} being used by [[Charizard]] in ''{{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Red}}'', with the famous "It's super effective!" message.]]
The concept of Triple Finish is based on a common occurrence in the ''Pokémon'' franchise outside the main series games, most notably the {{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon anime}}, in which multiple Pokémon are instructed to attack in tandem, usually to defeat a larger threat. Most pertinently, the {{iw|bulbapedia|Emerald chapter|Adventures}} of the ''{{s|bulbapedia|Pokémon Adventures}}'' manga has [[Blastoise]], [[Venusaur]], Charizard and the other starter Pokémon final forms from the first three generations use their ultimate attacks in tandem to defeat a monstrous [[Kyogre]].

All three of the attacks used in this Final Smash, Hydro Pump, Solar Beam and Fire Blast, have been featured in every main installment in the {{uv|Pokémon}} franchise, and have always been learnable by Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard, respectively. Prior to Generation III, these moves were known for being the strongest moves of their types (Water, Grass, and Fire respectively). They are each Special moves with a very high base power of 120 (prior to Generation VI nerfing both Hydro Pump and Fire Blast to 110), but Hydro Pump and Fire Blast have low accuracy values (80% and 85%, respectively), and Solar Beam requires a full turn to charge. Fire Blast originally had a 30.1% chance to inflict a burn on the opponent, but this was nerfed to 10% in Generation II. Squirtle can learn Hydro Pump at Level 42 in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}} and has been able to learn it since. Ivysaur learns Solar Beam at Level 54 in Generation I, but can also obtain it via TM22. Charizard and other Fire-types could not learn Fire Blast naturally in Generation I, but could learn it via TM38 after defeating Blaine, the seventh Gym Leader. 

The concept of three Pokémon being active at once was not possible in the ''Pokémon'' series at the time of ''Brawl''{{'}}s release; the most legally allowed in a Pokémon battle was [[bulbapedia:Double Battle|two]]. However, {{s|bulbapedia|Triple Battle}}s and {{s|bulbapedia|Rotation Battle}}s were introduced in the ''Pokémon'' series in Generation V, where each Trainer sends out three Pokémon at once; the former functioned similarly to a Double Battle, and the latter allowed trainers to switch between three active Pokémon without using up a turn to switch. [[bulbapedia:EP063|An episode of the ''Pokémon'' anime]] prior to ''Brawl'' additionally featured the first non-official Triple Battle in the series. Generation VI kept Triple Battles and Rotation Battles, though both were dropped in Generation VII.

The text box that appears resembles the ones that appear during battles in the ''Pokémon'' series, describing what actions are taken and their effects. The style of the text box resembles the latest installment of the series in each game the move is featured in: ''Diamond'' and ''Pearl'' (Generation IV) in ''Brawl'' and ''Sun'' and ''Moon'' (Generation VII) in ''Ultimate''.

The phrase "It's super effective!" is used when the type of a move used by a Pokémon is strong against the type of the opposing Pokémon. In these instances, the attack will deal double (or quadruple if both of the target Pokémon's types are weak to the move) the normal amount of damage, and is accompanied by a different damage sound effect.

==Trivia== 
*This Final Smash can be used to view off-camera pieces of scenery on stages without pausing and changing the angle. If one stands at the edge of the screen and faces away from any stage before activating the attack, the zooming effect will show graphics that one would not ordinarily see mid-match.
*In ''Brawl'', the text box present when using this move is identical in appearance to those from the Generation IV ''Pokémon'' games. In ''Ultimate'', the text box was updated to match the appearance of those in the Generation VII games.
*The star-like symbols fired by Charizard are the kanji "dai", meaning "great" or "large"; this aesthetic detail carries over from the ''Pokémon'' series, as it references Fire Blast's Japanese name, "Daimonji". In ''Ultimate'', Charizard also uses Fire Blast five times, matching the move's base PP in the ''Pokémon'' games.
*[[Hydro Pump]] is also used as [[Greninja]]'s [[up special move]], with a completely different function and animation from Squirtle's use in Triple Finish.
*While the move is mostly functionally identical regardless of which Pokémon was in play at the time of activation, when gained through the [[Final Smash Meter]], Squirtle's variation deals a negligible amount less of knockback than Ivysaur or Charizard (1.009x knockback multiplier, as opposed to the other two's 1.01x, all compensated by an equal reduction in damage).
