Volt Switch (Japanese: ボルトチェンジ Volt Change) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V. It is Emolga's signature move through level-up; however, several other Pokémon are capable of learning it through TM72.

Effect

Volt Switch deals damage and then switches the user out. The user will not be switched out if the user is the only Pokémon in the party that is able to battle, if Volt Switch fails to hit the target, if using Volt Switch ends the battle or if the opponent's ability prevents damage from Volt Switch. If Volt Switch faints a foe Trainer's Pokémon, the next Pokémon sent out by the user will not be counted for additional experience.

If the foe Pokémon uses Pursuit on the same turn Volt Switch is used, Pursuit will deal normal damage if the foe is faster, or double damage if the foe is slower than the user.

Volt Switch may be used to switch out of Ingrain, but Ingrain's effects will not be passed on. Volt Switch can also be used to switch out even if the user is under the effect of Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, Shadow Tag, Mean Look, Spider Web, Block or if hits a Ground-type opponent.
