Volt-Tackle Move Detail

Volt Tackle is an Electric-type move with 120 power and 100% accuracy. This move is notable for its high damage output but comes with a significant drawback: the user receives recoil damage equal to one-third of the damage dealt to the target. Volt Tackle has a 10% chance of paralyzing the opponent, adding an additional strategic element. It is one of Pikachu and its evolutionary line's signature moves and cannot be learned by other Pokémon through conventional means. In competitive play, Volt Tackle is often used for its high-risk, high-reward payoff, making it a powerful yet situational choice.
