General Info

Volt Switch deals damage and immediately switches out the user, but it won't switch out if the user is the sole Pokémon in the party, if it fails to hit the target, if the opponent isn't affected, or if Volt Switch triggers Wimp Out or Emergency Exit. It also won't switch out if it ends the battle, and if it faints a Trainer's Pokémon, the next one sent out won't count for additional experience. If used on the same turn as Pursuit by a foe, Pursuit deals double damage if the foe is slower than the user. Volt Switch works even under effects like Arena Trap, Magnet Pull, Shadow Tag, Mean Look, Spider Web, or Block, but it won't force a switch if the user holds a Red Card or the target holds an Eject Button. Additionally, in Contests, using Volt Switch after Charge grants the user three extra appeal points.
