Everything about Volt Tackle
No breeding needed.
The move tutor in the Colosseum Marketplace teaches Volt Tackle to Pichu for $35,000 or 50 BP. You reach the Battle Colosseum after the Arc Badge.
A Pichu egg gets Volt Tackle when either parent holds a Light Ball, so you need no father that knows it. Breed any Pikachu or Raichu with one held.

How breeding works here

  • Leave a male and a female that share an egg group at the Lagoona Day Care. The egg hatches as the mother's first stage.
  • Either parent passes on an egg move it knows, however it learned it.
  • A Pokémon that is male only or genderless breeds with Ditto. Ditto passes on nothing.
  • Pokémon from codes, the roulette, Looao or tokens cannot breed.
  • Some babies need an incense on the mother (or on the parent paired with Ditto): Munchlax needs a Full Incense, Azurill a Sea Incense.
