When used, Pikachu temporarily turns into a gigantic ball of electricity. Pikachu will then fly around the stage at great speeds, and the direction Pikachu goes during this move can be controlled by the player. When an opponent is hit, they take about 11% [[damage]] and minor knockback, depending on how much of the attack hits the opponent and how fast Pikachu is moving. The move can deliver significant knockback when the attack button is pressed, creating a large discharge. The Final Smash lasts around 10 seconds, and is generally accepted as extremely powerful by fans, though the difficulty of controlling it and its short length are major drawbacks. | When used, Pikachu temporarily turns into a gigantic ball of electricity.

The move has relatively unusual controls, as the player cannot control Pikachu's movements directly. Instead, they control a sort of pivot point; Pikachu gravitates towards this point with elastic physics. The pivot point cannot pass through solid terrain, but Pikachu can. The move's elasticity is reduced in its final moments, which is why Pikachu then moves slower and cannot move through walls. In ''SSB4'', a graphical effect is added to illustrate the pivot point's current location, and Pikachu will not oscillate as dramatically, staying closer to the pivot point, making the Final Smash much easier to control overall. | The move has relatively unusual controls, as the player cannot control Pikachu's movements directly.

In ''Ultimate'', the Final Smash is made non-controllable like similar previous Final Smashes. The user dashes forward with an electric tackle and if it connects, the user dashes around the stage to deal more damage and ends with an electric blast at the center of the stage. Pichu's version is identical to Pikachu's, except that it is stronger, and Pichu takes [[recoil damage]] as with all of its other electrical attacks. | In ''Ultimate'', the Final Smash is made non-controllable like similar previous Final Smashes.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Volt Tackle|move}}, introduced in Generation III, is the signature move of Pikachu's evolutionary family. Starting with {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Emerald}}, when a female [[Pikachu]] or Raichu holds a Light Ball and is put into the Day Care with a compatible partner, all of its offspring [[Pichu]] will know Volt Tackle upon hatching. Starting with {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon Sun and Moon}}, it is also a move tutor attack. However, Volt Tackle is not an {{s|bulbapedia|Egg Move}}, meaning a parent that knows the move is unable to pass it down to its descendants.

While having the covetted 100% accuracy, it has a drawback of the user receiving recoil damage equal to one-third inflicted to the target. A weaker version, {{iw|bulbapedia|Wild Charge}}, was introduced in Generation V, which can be learned by many Electric-type Pokémon. | ||
This move in ''Pokémon'' is a direct reference to Volteccer, the signature move of the titular character of a Genesis/Mega Drive game called ''Pulseman'' made by [[Game Freak]], which itself is named after Voltekka, the signature attack of Tekkaman in {{s|wikipedia|Tatsunoko Production}}s' 1975 series ''{{s|wikipedia|Tekkaman: The Space Knight}}''.
