When Ash tried to first catch Vikavolt as a Charjabug, it electrocuted Ash after he impulsively grabbed it, showing its defensive nature. However, it was also a weak battler: when it battled Sophocles's Togedemaru, it was quickly defeated after using only one {{m|Discharge}} attack. In addition to being weak in battle and relying on hiding as a defensive technique whilst living in the wild, it initially seemed to be a bit unsure about itself and its abilities, as evidenced by its reluctance to run on a running wheel, until further encouraged by its Trainer. However, due to the training done in preparation for the Charjabug race, it apparently gained more self-confidence and a deeper connection to its Trainer, happily hugging Sophocles after winning the race.

Vikavolt often demonstrates a close bond with Togedemaru. In ''[[SM067|Love at First Twirl!]]'', it was shown physically comforting Togedemaru when she became sad over {{AP|Pikachu}}'s absence, and later celebrated by nuzzling against her after their victory against [[Lusamine]]'s {{p|Milotic}} in ''[[SM054|10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!]]''. Much like Togedemaru, it shows compassion by using its electricity to calm down its Trainer whenever they are in a dark location, as shown in ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'' and ''[[SM119|A High-Speed Awakening!]]''. In ''[[SM069|Rise and Shine, Starship!]]'', it was shown to have the ability to send sound waves in order to communicate to a group of nearby {{p|Grubbin}}. In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', it was shown to love the taste of [[Poni Island]] radishes. Since its evolution, it enjoys giving rides to smaller Pokémon like Togedemaru and [[Sandy]]. Vikavolt can also be easily distracted, as seen in ''[[SM119|A High-Speed Awakening!]]'', where it went to drink some sap from a tree during its training with Sophocles.
