All three of the attacks used in this Final Smash - Hydro Pump, Solar Beam (formatted as "SolarBeam" prior to Generation VI) 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 each one has a drawback to offset this: Hydro Pump has an accuracy of 80%, Solar Beam must be charged for one turn before it can be used along with its power being cut in half if there is a weather condition (except in the harsh sunlight weather condition), and Fire Blast has an accuracy of 85%.

The text box that appears in the ''Smash'' move resembles the text boxes that traditionally appear during battles in the ''Pokémon'' series, describing what actions are taken and the effects of said actions. The style of the text box resembles the latest installment of the series in each game the move is featured in—''Diamond / Pearl'' in ''Brawl'' and ''Sun / Moon'' in ''Ultimate''.
The concept of three Pokémon being active at once was not possible in the ''Pokémon'' series at the time of ''Brawl''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> release. However, while introduced after ''Brawl'', Triple Battles were introduced in the ''Pokémon'' series in Generation V, where each Trainer sends out up three Pokémon at once; hence, the re-introduction of Triple Finish in ''Ultimate'' may be a nod to this battle type. By using Hydro Pump, Solar Beam (the attacking portion) and Fire Blast during the same turn during a Triple Battle, it is possible to emulate Triple Finish in a Generation V or VI ''Pokémon'' game.

The phrase "It's super effective!" has been used ever since the first generation in the series, whenever the type of a move used by a Pokémon is strong against the typing of the opposing Pokémon (for example, a Fire-type move against a Grass-type Pokémon). In these instances, the attack deals double or quadruple the normal amount of damage, and is additionally accompanied by a different damage sound effect.
