Volt Switch is an Electric-type move with 70 power and 100% accuracy. Its unique effect allows the user to automatically switch out to another Pokémon in the party after dealing damage. This can be particularly advantageous for maintaining momentum during battles, as it allows for strategic repositioning and pivoting to counter opponents' Pokémon. Volt Switch is commonly used in both casual and competitive play due to its ability to deal damage while gaining a tactical advantage, making it a staple in many Electric-type Pokémon's movesets.
