Volt Tackle (Japanese: ボルテッカー Volteccer) is a very highly-damaging Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III.

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. "Volt Tackle" seems to be an Anglicization of Volteccer.

In the anime


Pokémon

Pikachu. Pikachu runs at the opponent while engulfed in electricity. It then tackles the opponent.

Pikachu accidentally learned the move by using Quick Attack when it had stored up electricity.

Raichu. Same as Pikachu.

Generation III

By breeding

There is only one way to get Volt Tackle, and even then, only in Pokémon Emerald. First, players need a female Pikachu or Raichu holding a Light Ball, and a Pokémon that is 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.

Generation IV

A Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle can be obtained from Pokémon Battle Revolution after beating all of the colosseums once. The move can also be obtained in the same way as in Generation III.

Also, the game's code shows the Electabuzz, Machamp, Infernape, Lucario, Alakazam, Cacturne, Hariyama, and Mr.Mime families as being able to know the move, albeit through unknown methods. It is curious to note that all these Pokémon are of the Humanshape Egg Group.

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."

In other languages

French: electacle, German: volttackle, Italian: locomovolt, Spanish: placaje elec.
