scroll down to where it says "learnset", notice how it says the electabuzz family can also learn volt tackle, not only the pikachu family o.0

i wonder how to get it, or how its possible to get it, since the only known way is with light ball

 

[Mukkamoto]

hmm, very interesting, but how would electabuzz learn volt tackle. another puzzle

 

[World King]

In the future, they'll hold a Nintendo Event which will giveaway a Volt-Tackling Elekid with the Electrizer.

...well, that's the most logical solution I can find.

 

[True Justice]

Someones gotta figure out how to get a volt tackling electabuzz. Perhaps a new egg event elekid capable of learning it.

yea thats the most logicall reason i can get aswell, perhaps even from a future PBR

okay that sounds stupid lol

 

[El Gofre]

It's an error. Bulbapedia cannot predict future events and I'm sure that standard mixvire would be loving this if it had access. Bulbapedia arent the most reliable source for dex entires in my experience.

 

[Peanutassailant]

okay, i have figured out a way to test if this is true.

i have a electivire a elekid AND a electabuzz, i could use a AR (not hard at all to get hold of one, could probably get my hands on one tommorow infact) and add a code to make volt tackle a TM.

if the electa's can learn it, then we know the code really exists, if they cant learn it, it casts some doubt over if its possible or not.

also then again, previous gens you could get surfing and flying pikachus from events, so you never know what might happen

Well, we are not saying that it is a future event (And neither is Bulbapedia). We are making a prediction.

I have a theory. Nintendo 64 had PKMN Stadium 1 & 2, GC had Pokemon colluseum & Gale of darkness. So i think wii will have a 2nd pkmn game and on tht it will give you an elekid with volt tackle

 

[dragonarche]

yeah..
i knew that
my frend says you have to breed it with a pickachu that kows voltackle
and give the light ball to the electabuzz

 

[Aquilae]

Electabuzz/Elekid/Electivire cannot learn Volt Tackle. Period.

Bulbapedia isn't the most reliable source, and you should double check with others such as Serebii and Smogon.

 

[Lt. Silver]

Its says that its in the games coding that electabuzz can learn volt tackle.
Thats like it was in Yellow versions coding for pikachu to learn surf

 

[Peanutassailant]

okay i got the AR, im gunna test this out myself (volt tackle TM code, but without the "can learn any move" code)

 

[Gold Tom]

Didja test it yet? If it works, I'm going to teach my future Electivire Volt Tackle.

EDIT

Erm, did you read it in detail?

Also, the game's code shows the Electabuzz family as being able to know the move, albeit through an unknown method.

* Electivire
* Electabuzz
* Elekid

 

[Peanutassailant]

O-M-F-G

it worked, however i got a suprise too. MACHAMP CAN ALSO LEARN VOLT TACKLE O.O!!!!!!!

i need to take a picture of this

*gets ready to edit post here*

EDIT:

okay i took the photos, here they are:

i looked to see if electa's could learn it:

yes they can, the code really exists!!!!!

but look, it says machamp can also learn it, so it did:

 

[Toblerone]

Nice!! Awesome, might have to do that myself :).. Fancy Machamp learning Volt Tackle??? Bit crazy in the gaming, but it's true, then.

 

[True Justice]

That's some crazy stuff there. You should also submit to bulbapedia that machamp can learn it. Machamp + Volt tackle = ? (wierd)

 

[Peanutassailant]

lol i will do :P

i am going to try to get a machop to see if all the mach's can learn VT

 

[Gold Tom]

Suh-weet! But, how to convince my Elekid that Volt Tackle should be learnt?(without cheating)

 

[Peanutassailant]

i dont think it is possible, i think its most likely going to be a future event, or wii game.

at least i have proven that the code really exists, and that it is possible, and bulbapedia was not incorrect like some people thought

EDIT: WOW... machop inherited volt tackle as a egg move.

if anyone wants, i can send you VT machops :)

EDIT2: lol it seems someone has already changed the bulbapedia article :P

someone should edit it so that all machops family can learn it
