The Pokémon Trainer using Triple Finish
Triple Finish is the Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It can be activated by having either Ivysaur, Squirtle, or Charizard after they break a Smash Ball, with the effect remaining the same regardless over which Pokémon broke the Smash Ball.
Upon activating Triple Finish, the Pokémon Trainer sends out all three of his Pokémon to each use a powerful attack from their franchise at the same time—Ivysaur hits with SolarBeam, a narrow beam of light that fires across the screen; Charizard with Fire Blast, a flame projectile that travels across the screen; and Squirtle with Hydro Pump, a water attack that sprays in multiple directions at close range, all of which deal continuous damage before opponents are knocked back by the final Fire Blast. If a player is too close to the team while they are attacking, they are knocked into the air rather than into the attack.
Throughout the entire attack, a text box designed after the ones in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (in Brawl) or Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon (in Ultimate) appears on the bottom of the screen, saying, "Take that, Triple Finish!" If the attack hits, the dialogue changes to say, "It's super effective!", referencing the type effectiveness mechanic of the core series. Therefore, if the attack misses, the first message remains for the duration of the attack. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the text is still the second message during that part regardless.
At the end of the Final Smash, the Fire Blast launches opponents, dealing more damage to characters who that are closer to the Pokémon, where all three moves hit at once. When the Final Smash ends, the Pokémon Trainer returns the other two Pokémon into their Poké Balls.
Since Charizard is the only Pokémon of the three to return in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, its Final Smash has been changed to its Mega Evolution.
