How to Get Volt Attack in Pokemon: Emerald

Pikachu has been the most recognizable Pokemon since shortly after the debut of the franchise, but in the Game Boy video games created by Game Freak, Pikachu had very few distinguishing characteristics. Game Freak recognized the need for a special move for Pikachu, so they created the Volt Tackle attack. Only Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu can learn Volt Tackle, and, even then, special conditions must be in place. Volt Tackle is an electric-type physical move that has a 10 percent chance of paralyzing the target and causes 33 percent recoil damage to the attacking Pokemon.
