Volt Change (Japanese: ボルトチェンジ Volt Change ) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V.
Effect
Volt Change 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 Change fails to hit the target or if using Volt Change ends the battle. If Volt Change 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 Change is used, Pursuit will deal normal damage if the foe is faster, or double damage if the foe is slower than the user.
Volt Change may be used to switch out of Ingrain, but Ingrain's effects will not be passed on. Volt Change 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, or Block.
