Talk:Volt Tackle (move)

Add topic

We need a template for this, somebody. or somebody needs to teach me how to make one.

To make a template, create it in the Template: namespace (something like Template:mytemplate, then you could use it via {{mytemplate}}). Jellochuu¾ 01:50, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I know that, but like. i'm talking about the actual template itself, what we want/need in it. Evkl 01:55, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I did it. You can see it at Template:movestats; I know, it's ugly, feel free to mess with it. Jellochuu¾ 02:18, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Raichu?

Do you specifically have to breed 2 Pikachu to get a Pichu with Volt Tackle, or can either the male or female be Raichu? --Fsilone 04:50, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

If you've got a female Pikachu or Raichu holding the Light Ball, you're cool. If you're breeding a male of them with a Ditto, though, the Pikachu/Raichu has to hold the Light Ball. TTEchidna GSDS! 05:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Cool. Thanks. --Fsilone 04:38, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Japanese attacks

As with Pokémon themselves, the Japanese names for these attacks should be printed somewhere... would it be best in the article itself or as an extension to the infobox? Hyperworm 19:37, 22 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Something Really Weird

Ok, something weird just happened in my game. I have an AR DS, and I used a glitch that lets you turn TM 17 into any move by tossing out heart scales, so I got Volt Tackle. Now, here's the weird part. The cheat lets you get any move, but it does NOT modify movesets (ex. Empoleon can't use a Fire-type attack). So, the movesets stay the same, which is REALLY important here. I booted up the modified TM, (which seems weird since I don't have a Pikachu) and it said CANNOT LEARN for everyone in my party except my Electivire! This means that, somewhere in the game's code, Electivire was programmed as able to learn Volt Tackle! It's weird, but true. Therefore, I'm adding it to the page, but with "Method Unknown". If someone feels this is inappropriate, please state why here, then delete it, but I'm putting it on. User:Ph34rshallriseagain

ARs screw up your game. That's why. XD; But.. if it's in the game's code... hmm. Tina δ 00:22, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I had my game examined, and apparently it's actually in the game's code. Also, like I said, the movesets weren't disrupted. Otherwise, my Dialga would've learned Flare Blitz... User:Ph34rshallriseagain

Hmmm... well, can Elekid learn it? TTEchidna GSDS! 01:38, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes it can, so can Electabuzz. User:Ph34rshallriseagain

And the Pikachu family, too, I assume? TTEchidna GSDS! 02:28, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't know about Raichu, but I can check if you want. User:Ph34rshallriseagain

Maybe a trade from platinum/nintendo event? Atomix26 16:52, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of this... all the odd Pokémon are in the Humanshape Egg Group, meaning that they can all interbreed. What someone should do is hack an Electabuzz with Volt Tackle, then breed it with a Machamp, and see if the baby Machop hatches with Volt Tackle... TTEchidna 18:13, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
I removed these all since i cant find any proof that this exsits. It isnt an egg move, it isnt a level move, ergo, it is not listed. Speaking of unprovable, where is the proof of that Combusken with Crush Grip? The Placebo Effect 01:58, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
i have disproved this. TM17 keeps the same properties as Protect, but, it does allow any Pokemon to learn any attack, except Regigias, and other Pokemon that cant learn TMs. -- MAGNEDETH 01:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
I know try to bring it in platinum with a ♀infernape then use the ♀infernape with ditto to get a ♂Infernape with VT and spead from there.(I would but I havnt gotten it yet) Atomix26 21:37, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

breeding

If I breed a Pikachu that already knows Volt Tackle will it pass it on to its offspring without the light ball.

And does it have to be a female that holds it when its 2 of the pika family as a male can hold it when bread with ditto.

Unlucky you, actually, I just bred a Pikachu with Volt Tackle with a Raichu... but it was holding a Light Ball.
And if the male isn't non-Pikachu family, then either can hold it. It's like the incenses. TTEchidna 19:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
