===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 {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|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 is the only move of {{p|Raichu}}.
Volt Tackle is the only move of {{p|Raichu}}. It has a chance to paralyze. After use, it lowers Raichu's Defense and limits Range to 1 on its next turn, regardless of any abilities or items that would normally increase Range. If Raichu uses Volt Tackle consecutively, its Range will continue to be penalized until it passes a turn without attacking.

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.

* 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 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).
* 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}}, {{m|Celebrate}}, {{m|Happy Hour}}, {{m|Hold Back}}, and {{m|Hold Hands}}.
