How to Teach Pikachu to Volt Tackle in "Pokemon Sapphire"
Volt Tackle is a powerful, Electric-type attack that can leave a foe paralyzed, if he survives. It is Pikachu's signature attack in "Pokemon Sapphire," but in order to have it, a Pikachu must be born knowing it. To breed a Pikachu that knows Volt Tacke, you must have two Pikachus mate in the Pokemon Daycare Center while one of them is holding a Light Ball.

Catch wild Pikachus in the Safari Zone until you get one that's holding a Light Ball. Pikachu is a rare encounter, and it will only have an item around 50 percent of the time, so this may take a few tries. Having an Electric-type Pokemon in your party while hunting in the Safari Zone will make it more likely for a wild Pikachu to attack you. Leading with a Pokemon that has the ability Compoundeyes, such as Butterfree, will make it more likely that the Pokemon you encounter will be holding an item.
