By breeding

There is only one way to get Volt Tackle, which is only available in Pokémon Emerald. The player must breed a female Pikachu or Raichu holding a Light Ball with any Pokémon in the same egg group as Pikachu. If the Pikachu and its mating partner are put into the daycare and they meet the conditions to produce an egg, the hatched Pichu will have Volt Tackle.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Volt Tackle is Pikachu's Final Smash. When used, Pikachu will be enveloped by a blue ball of electricity. The ball does major damage and can even pass through platforms, although it is very hard to control.

Trophy information

"Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you."

Trivia

  • Volt Tackle's Japanese name, Volteccer, comes from an attack that Pulseman, the protagonist of a Game Freak game of the same name, could use. Both attacks are a reference to Tekkaman, whose signature attack was also called Voltekka.
  • Volt Tackle is the only move that causes recoil to have ever been a special attack, due to it being an Electric-type move introduced in Generation III.

In other languages

  • French: Electacle
