===By {{pkmn|breeding}}===
While Volt Tackle can be performed in any of the [[Generation III]] games, it can only be obtained via {{game|Emerald}} or later. There is only one method of obtaining Volt Tackle, which involves breeding a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} with any Pokémon in the same [[Egg Group]] (or breed a Pikachu or Raichu of any gender holding a Light Ball with a {{p|Ditto}}). If the Pikachu or Raichu and its mating partner are put into the [[Pokémon Day Care|day care]] and they meet the conditions to produce an Egg, the hatched {{p|Pichu}} will have Volt Tackle. Since this will not work in any game prior to Emerald, trading is the only legitimate way of obtaining Volt Tackle in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, or LeafGreen|s}}.
From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if either parent of a baby {{p|Pichu}} holds a [[Light Ball]] when the Egg is produced, the Pichu will know Volt Tackle when it hatches. However, Volt Tackle is not an [[Egg Move]], and cannot be passed down by simply breeding with a parent that knows the move. The only way for Pichu to hatch knowing Volt Tackle is for one of the parents to hold a Light Ball.

Volt Tackle deals damage and the user receives recoil damage. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, the recoil damage is equal to ⅛ of the user's maximum HP. From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] onward, Volt Tackle may now cause {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|paralysis}} and the recoil damage is instead 20% of the user's max HP.
Since Volt Tackle can only be learnt as an [[Egg Move]] in the [[core series]] games, it is taught differently in the Mystery Dungeon games:
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], {{p|Pichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at level 50 if it has at least 333 [[IQ]] points (7.5 stars). If this requirement is not met until after reaching level 50, Volt Tackle can be relearned at the {{DL|Pokémon Square|Gulpin Link Shop}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], where Egg Moves are commonly present, {{p|Pichu}} that hatch from Eggs may know Volt Tackle.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle by [[TM]]. The TM is obtained once Paradise reaches [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)#Paradise Rank|Perfect Rank]].
* In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at [[Hawlucha's Slam School]] by paying [[File:Poké currency.png|link=Poké]]10,000.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at the [[Gulpin Link Shop]] by paying [[File:Poké currency.png|link=Poké]]11,000, after completing the main story.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{sbw|Volt Tackle}} is {{OBP|Pikachu|Super Smash Bros.}}'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, though it is very hard to control.
Since [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{sbw|Volt Tackle}} has been {{OBP|Pikachu|Super Smash Bros.}}'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, though it is very hard to control. Despite it taking damage from Volt Tackle in the core series, Pikachu takes no damage from the move when used in the Super Smash Bros. series.
 
In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]], Volt Tackle is led by a smaller orb of light the player controls, making it easier to track. In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the returning fighter {{SSB|Pichu}} also gains Volt Tackle as its Final Smash; like Pichu's other electrical moves, it deals damage to it after use. Like many other Final Smashes in Ultimate, Volt Tackle has been made fully automatic and faster, making it easier to execute and allowing players to return to fighting faster.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ボルテッカー ''Volteccer'', comes from an attack that [[List of references to Pulseman|Pulseman]], the protagonist of {{wp|Pulseman|a Game Freak game of the same name}}, uses. Both attacks are in reference to {{wp|Tekkaman}}, whose signature attack is called Voltekka.
* Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ボルテッカー ''Volteccer'', comes from an attack used by [[List of references to Pulseman|Pulseman]], the protagonist of {{wp|Pulseman|the Game Freak game of the same name}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA91WPotG2I GAME FREAK Illustration Demonstration: Episode One [Ken Sugimori x Pulseman<nowiki>]</nowiki> - YouTube]</ref> Both attacks are in reference to {{wp|Tekkaman}}, whose signature attack is called Voltekka.
* Volt Tackle is the only move that causes [[recoil]] to have ever been a [[special move]], due to it being an {{type|Electric}} move introduced in [[Generation III]] (if {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Wood Hammer}}, and {{m|Wild Charge}} existed in Generation III, they would have been special as well).
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] [[Pokémon manga|manga]], when Volt Tackle first appeared in [[PS180|''The Last Battle XIV'']], albeit in a much different fashion than most other [[canon|canons]], {{adv|Gold}} named it ''Super Rising Thunder''. In [[PS336|a future round]], however, the move has its [[core series]] name and, unlike before, it is depicted more like a [[physical move]] than a [[special move|special]] one.
* Prior to Generation V, Volt Tackle was the only move that could not be learned by leveling up, TM, HM, or Move Tutor by any Pokémon (not counting Struggle). It now shares this status with {{m|V-create}}.
 
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Volt Tackle is {{p|Pikachu}}'s Final Smash. Despite it taking damage from the move in the main series games, Pikachu takes no damage from the move when used in ''Brawl''.
