==Overview==
==Overview==
Pokémon Trainer calls out all three of his Pokémon to perform a synchronized team attack. [[Squirtle]] uses [[Hydro Pump]], 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 five large flames in the shape of the Japanese character for fire 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.
===In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
[[File:Triple Finish.jpg|thumb|Triple Finish in ''[[Brawl]]''.]]


During Triple Finish, Pokémon Trainer shouts, "Take this! Triple Finish!" with an accompanying dialogue box (that incorrectly reads "Take '''that!'''" instead of "Take '''this!'''") like in the Pokémon games. If the move successfully damages an opponent, the text changes to "It's super effective!" 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.

Once the attack has ended, Pokémon Trainer recalls the two inactive Pokémon, and the Final Smash ends.


The move does more damage to opponents that are closer to the Pokémon, where they can take up to 57% 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.
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.


In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the female Pokémon Trainer says "Go! Triple Finish!", while the male Pokémon Trainer now properly says "Take that! Triple Finish!". The second message, "It's super effective!", shows regardless of whether the attack hits any opponents. Also, Charizard fires five Fire Blasts instead of six. Squirtle's Hydro Pump has also been reworked into a whirlpool.

===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==
==Origin==
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 [[bulbapedia:Emerald chapter (Adventures)|Emerald chapter]] 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 featured in every main installment in the {{uv|Pokémon}} franchise. 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 110 (120 for Solar Beam and prior to Generation VI), but Hydro Pump and Fire Blast have low accuracy values (80% and 85%, respectively), and Solar Beam requires a full turn to charge.  
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 110 (120 for Solar Beam and prior to Generation VI), 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.

*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.
*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.
*In the main series ''Pokémon'' games, Fire Blast has a maximum of 5 uses before PP runs out. Despite this, Charizard uses Fire Blast six times in ''Brawl''. Items which raise the maximum PP of a move exist, however.
*The star-like symbols fired by Charizard are the kanji "dai", meaning "great" or "large", referencing Fire Blast's Japanese name, "Daimonji".
**In ''Ultimate'', Charizard uses Fire Blast five times, matching the move's PP in the ''Pokémon'' series.
*[[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.
*The star-like symbols fired by Charizard are the kanji "dai", meaning "great" or "large".
*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).
*Triple Finish is one of six Final Smashes in ''Ultimate'' that removes the damage percentages during its duration, the other five being [[Team Star Fox]], [[Team Star Wolf]], [[All-Out Attack]], [[Gigaslash]], and [[House of Boom]].
**Much like All-Out Attack and Gigaslash, the damage percentages are removed for the entire duration of the Final Smash, even upon start up.
*[[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.
*By adding up the base power of the three moves that make up Triple Finish, its total base power by the ''Pokémon'' series' standards can be calculated to be 340 (360 prior to Generation VI).
