'''Pair Up''' ({{ja|ダブル|Daburu}}, ''Double'') is [[Robin]]'s [[Final Smash]].

Robin summons [[Chrom]] through a warp circle. Chrom will travel a set distance from where he is summoned (a little less than half the length of [[Final Destination]]), and swipe at the first opponent in his path. If he misses, the Final Smash will fail. When he does catch at least one opponent, Chrom's critical hit portrait from ''Fire Emblem Awakening'' appears as he yells "On my mark!" ({{ja|俺に合わせろ！|Ore ni awasero!}}, ''Join with me!''). Once an opponent is caught, the two unleash their attacks: Chrom with the Falchion, and Robin circling the unfortunate foe while unleashing {{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire}} and {{s|fireemblemwiki|Thunder}} spells, assailing the opponent multiple times. Finally, Robin performs {{s|fireemblemwiki|Bolganone}}, shouting the name of their spell followed by Chrom yelling "We're not done yet!" ({{ja|くらえ~!|Kurae~!}}, ''Take that~!''), and the two strike the opponent(s) at the same time, rocketing the foe(s) to the ground and rebounding towards the upper blast line.

This attack ends up dealing 45% [[damage]]—5% with the initial strike, 26% for the flurry of attacks (13 strikes at 2% damage each), and 14% for the finishing strike. The knockback from the final blow cannot be [[tech]]ed. It can KO an opponent with at least 45% damage under average circumstances. The move usually takes place high above the center of the stage, except for stages that can cause an [[OHKO]] due to the map having a central pit (like [[Gaur Plain]]) or a very high central platform (like [[Yoshi's Story]]), as well as stages where the center of the stage is obstructed ([[Great Plateau Tower]]).

|desc-ntsc=Like the Pair Up feature in Fire Emblem Awakening that lets two characters attack a foe at once, Robin's Final Smash calls Chrom, the Prince of Ylisse, to the battlefield. First, Chrom dashes forward, and if he lands a hit, Robin joins him for a flawless combination of attacks. It can even catch multiple opponents at once!

In [[The Falchion's Seal]], Robin must acquire a Smash Ball and use Pair Up against a [[Super Mushroom|Giant]] {{SSB4|Charizard}}. Defeating it normally only causes it to respawn.

Robin SSBU Skill Preview Final Smash.png|Pair Up as shown by the [[Move List]] in ''[[Ultimate]]''.

*Chrom's attack animations greatly resemble [[Ike]]'s animations during his [[Great Aether]], save for a few differences such as some of his stances and his last three hits. This is likely a time and resource-saving measure, as both Pair Up and Great Aether have similar durations, making it efficient to reuse animations. Also notable is the fact that Chrom's Falchion swings use a glowing [[tipper]] graphic similar to {{SSB4|Marth}}'s (only in ''SSB4''), and yet makes the deep "striking" sounds of Ike's Ragnell.

*It is common for Pair Up in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' to start producing loud static noises if the match has multiple players and items or if too many visuals or sounds occur while it is active. This is possibly due to the 3DS not having enough processing power to process all the sound and particle effects together at once.

*Although {{s|fireemblemwiki|Bolganone}} is used during this Final Smash, the Bolganone tome cover is not used, instead using the same cover as [[Arcfire]].

*Bolganone is depicted as a magma geyser in the ''Fire Emblem'' series, while in ''SSB4'', it is shown as bursts of flames.

*Pair Up provides a possible explanation as to how Robin's equipment can be replenished during battle; in ''Awakening'', Chrom provided nearby allies with [[fireemblemwiki:Supply convoy|Convoy]] access.

**Furthermore, Chrom's playable model is the same one used for Pair Up.
