Starting with Pokémon Emerald, when a female [[Pikachu]] or Raichu is holding a Light Ball in the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' games]], all of its offspring [[Pichu]] will instinctively know Volt Tackle; trading it is the only way to use it in earlier Generation III game. This is the only way the move can be "learned"; this makes it a kind of signature move for the Pikachu evolutionary line. Volt Tackle is a physical Electric-type move since Generation IV that is as strong as [[Thunder]] (both have 120 power) and is far more accurate (100% compared to Thunder's 70%); however, the user receives one-third of the damage inflicted as recoil damage, and it has a lower chance of paralysis (10% compared to 30%). | Starting with Pokémon Emerald, when a female [[Pikachu]] or Raichu is holding a Light Ball in the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'' games]], all of its offspring [[Pichu]] will instinctively know Volt Tackle; trading it is the only way to use it in earlier Generation III game.

This move in ''Pokémon'' is a direct reference to Voltteccer, the signature move of the titular character of a Genesis/Mega Drive game called ''Pulseman'' made by Game Freak (the same developer that made ''Pokémon''). The move's look and controls in ''Brawl'' are also direct references to the move's look and controls from ''Pulseman''. | This move in ''Pokémon'' is a direct reference to Voltteccer, the signature move of the titular character of a Genesis/Mega Drive game called ''Pulseman'' made by Game Freak (the same developer that made ''Pokémon'').
