*Volt Tackle is one of Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu's strongest attacks. It is learned by breeding a member of the Pikachu family with another one with a Light Ball.
*Volt Tackle is an Electric type move, with 120 power and 100 accuracy. It is also a Physical move.
*Volt Tackle can cause paralysis, but also delivers to the user 1/3 of the damage inflicted. This move in power is equal to Thunder; however, Volt Tackle has a 100 percent accuracy, whereas Thunder has a 70 percent accuracy when the weather is not set to Rain. The other difference between the two attacks is that Volt Tackle has recoil, while Thunder does not.
*Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu's Volt Tackle is more powerful than Thunder, because they tend to increase more attack than Sp. Attack.
===In the Super Smash Bros. series===
In the Super Smash Bros. series, Volt Tackle is Pikachu's Final Smash in every title since Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Pichu's since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Upon using the move, Pikachu or Pichu turns into a large ball of electricity, able to fly around the stage freely and damage opponents they touch. The player can press the attack button to discharge electricity, dealing greater damage and knockback. After discharging, the player has to wait a second for the move to recharge. Once Volt Tackle is about to end, Pikachu or Pichu begins to slow down, and their movement becomes slightly restricted. Additionally, Pikachu cannot fly past the blast lines in this form. The only difference with Pichu's Volt Tackle is that it is stronger and deals recoil damage to the user.
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, a ball of light appears alongside Pikachu that follows the direction the player is holding, serving as a guide, though the this ball deals no damage to opponents. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, there is a trophy of Volt Tackle that can be unlocked by clearing All-Star Mode with Pikachu.
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Volt Tackle is automatically controlled, as Pikachu flies rapidly across the screen multiple times before finishing with a burst of electricity that launches opponents away.
==How to obtain==
*To get a Pichu that knows Volt Tackle, you can breed a female Pikachu that is holding the Light Ball with another Pokémon that is in its Egg Group so that your Pichu will hatch with Volt Tackle being known. Or you can breed a Ditto and female Pikachu, and get a Pichu.
*In Generation IV, get a male Cherrim and a female Pikachu, put both in the day-care, and have Pikachu hold the Light Ball. Now, you should then have a Pichu that knows Volt Tackle.
*In Generation VII a lady can teach a Pikachu in Konikoni City to use this move.

==Trivia==
* Its Japanese name, Volteccer, is based on the signature move of the character Pulseman. Two years before Game Freak made Pokémon, they created Pulseman, a Sega Genesis/Master Drive game. It should also be noted that Team Galactic and Rotom are also homages to Pulseman (Team Galactic based on Galaxy Gang, the main antagonists of Pulseman; and Rotom looks slightly like him—it can even go from the digital world to the "real world" and back in a similar fashion). However, Rotom isn't able to learn Volt Tackle.
