In ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'', the ball can be steered around the stage, and pressing the attack button releases an electrical discharge that adds significant knockback. | When this [[attack]] is used, the user turns into a ball of electricity and deals contact damage while moving around the stage.

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.

''Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll [[Self destruct|destroy yourself]]. Be careful it doesn't happen to you.'' | |||

*Volt Tackle is one of the only Final Smashes shared by multiple characters, along with [[Light Arrow]], [[Triforce Slash]], [[Landmaster]], [[Critical Hit]], [[Team Star Fox]], [[Grand Cross]] and [[PK Starstorm]]. | |||
* This move, along with Sonic’s Super Sonic transformation, are the only two final smashes in Smash 4 where in training mode, if the CPU grabs the final and uses it, the CPU will, unhumanly, home in on the player. This is most evident when the player is on the revive platform, where they will go to the platform, and hover on top of the player until they move, in which case, will continue to pursue the player. | |||
