The move has relatively unusual controls, as the player cannot control Pikachu's movements directly. Instead, they control a sort of pivot point; Pikachu gravitates towards this point with elastic physics. The pivot point cannot pass through solid terrain, but Pikachu can. The move's elasticity is reduced in its final moments, which is why Pikachu then moves slower and cannot move through walls. In ''SSB4'', a graphical effect is added to illustrate the pivot point's current location, and Pikachu will not oscillate as dramatically, staying closer to the pivot point, making the Final Smash much easier to control overall.

In ''Ultimate'', the Final Smash is made non-controllable like similar previous Final Smashes. The user dashes forward with an electric tackle and if it connects, the user dashes around the stage to deal more damage and ends with an electric blast at the center of the stage. Pichu's version is identical to Pikachu's, except that it is stronger, and Pichu takes [[recoil damage]] as with all of its other electrical attacks.

|desc=Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll [[Self destruct|destroy yourself]]. Be careful it doesn't happen to you.

|desc-ntsc=Pikachu's Final Smash turns its whole body into a powerful ball of electricity that darts around at high speed, tackling opponents. While Pikachu is charging around, press the attack button to unleash powerful sparks. There's also a little ball of light that flies ahead of Pikachu itself. Use that as a guide if Pikachu seems out of control!

Volt Tackle is a physical Electric-type move that is as powerful as its special-counterpart, {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}}, though Thunder's power was slightly nerfed in Generation VI while Volt Tackle kept its power. While having the covetted 100% accuracy, it has a drawback of the user receiving recoil damage equal to one-third inflicted to the target. A weaker version, {{iw|bulbapedia|Wild Charge}}, was introduced in Generation V, which can be learned by many Electric-type Pokémon.

This move in ''Pokémon'' is a direct reference to Volteccer, the signature move of the titular character of a Genesis/Mega Drive game called ''Pulseman'' made by [[Game Freak]], which itself is named after Voltekka, the signature attack of Tekkaman in {{s|wikipedia|Tatsunoko Production}}s' 1975 series ''{{s|wikipedia|Tekkaman: The Space Knight}}''. The move's look and controls in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' are also direct references to the move's look and controls from ''Pulseman''.

Pikachu's cry when performing Volt Tackle highly resembles the one when {{s|bulbapedia|Ash's Pikachu}} performs {{iw|bulbapedia|Thunderbolt|move}} in the ''Pokémon'' anime. Ash's Pikachu uses Volt Tackle frequently in the anime from the ''Diamond and Pearl'' series onwards.
