Volt Switch is a damage-dealing Electric-type move. It is TM72.
Effect[]
Volt Switch deals damage and then switches the user out.
The user will not be switched out if the user is the only Pokémon in the party that is able to battle, if Volt Switch fails to hit the target, if using Volt Switch ends the battle, if the opponent's ability prevents damage from Volt Switch, or if the opponent is Ground-type. If Volt Switch faints a foe trainer's Pokémon, the next Pokémon sent out by the user will not be counted for additional experience (although if it is holding the Amulet Coin or Luck Incense, it will be counted for that).
If the foe Pokémon uses Pursuit on the same turn Volt Switch is used, Pursuit will deal normal damage if the foe is faster, or double damage if the foe is slower than the user.
Volt Switch may be used to switch out of Ingrain, but Ingrain's effects will not be passed on. Volt Switch can also be used to switch out even if the user is under the effect of Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, Shadow Tag, Mean Look, Spider Web, or Block. Volt Switch will not force a switch if the user is holding a Red Card.
