How to Get a Pikachu to Learn Volt Tackle in Pokemon LeafGreen

Volt Tackle is one of the most powerful moves in the world of "Pokemon." Only three Pokemon can use it: Pichu, Pikachu and Raichu. A Pokemon must be born with the move, so only a Pichu can obtain it. However, because Pichu evolves into Pikachu and Raichu, they can have Volt Tackle as well, so long as the Pichu from which they evolve was born with the move. To get an egg containing a Pichu that has the Volt Tackle ability and evolve this Pichu into a Pikachu, you must accomplish most of the steps in "Pokemon Emerald" and then transfer the Pikachu to "Pokemon LeafGreen."
