POKEMON ANIME ELECTROWEB SERIES

Now, in the games the summary of electro ball says: volt tackle is simply a combination of quick attack and electricity powers, making volt tackle a 'speed attack'. If this assumption is correct, though in the games I don't remember the attack summary, it's seems from the above that in the anime ver. In the Anime, Ash' Pikachu learned Volt tackle in the Battle Frontier season ep05 (425) though not entirely learned (by the following episodes when used it's soon failing) by Ash orders Pikachu to use quick attack, though using quick attack Pikachu soon combine it's electricity in the quick attack creating volt tackle. Though the question already cleared I have a more creative way to answer it. Eventually his anger caused him to learn Electro Ball.Īfter this point, it appears that Pikachu no longer knows Volt Tackle. The synopsis for this episode even states:Īfter unintentionally shocking himself with Thunderbolt, because he was stuck in a beach umbrella, Pikachu couldn't use Electric-type attacks.

The first instance of Pikachu using Electro Ball is in BW020 (Dancing with the Ducklett Trio!). Pikachu managed to get up and countered Pignite's Flame Charge with Volt Tackle.

The last instance of Pikachu using Volt Tackle was in BW013 (Minccino - Neat and Tidy!).Īs Pikachu headed forwards he got hit by Pignite's Take Down, followed up by a powerful Heat Crash. He forgot it so he could learn Electro Ball.Īccording to the wikia page for Ash's Pikachu, this checks out.

According to some users in this thread, Ash's Pikachu forgot Volt Tackle to learn Electro Ball, which makes sense, as the series seems to follow the games with Pokemon only knowing 4 moves at a time.īecause they just had to have him learn a Gen V move.
