How to Use Volt Switch

Hit-And-Run

If you wish to opt for an assassin playstyle, Volt Switch is definitely the best choice. Its mobility is similar to Agility but it gains another property. Using the ability again will return Zeraora to his original position.

This makes it a great hit-and-run tool, but beware of enemies that will try to predict your return. Make sure to keep an eye on your original position to know whether its safe to return or just stay in your current position.

Steal Berries from Enemy's SIde

Much like other dash moves, you can use Volt Switch to steal the yellow berries from the enemy's side. However, the unique trick that Volt Switch has is that it allows you to go back to your original position when you cast it the second time, enabling you to avoid a lot of damage.

If you have Eject Button equipped, you can do two variations of stealing berries.

Long DIstance Steal

This first variation allows you to steal berries from a hidden or safer position. You can only theoretically steal one berry using this trick. However, if you're fast enough, you can steal both berries.

Volt Switch from a safe distance, preferably inside grass, then use Eject Button towards the berry. Once you get the berry, immediately Volt Switch back to your original position.

Double Berry Steal

This second variation allows you to steal the two berries behind the enemy's goal. The downside of this trick is you sacrifice a safer distance for a double heal

Volt Switch forward when near one of the berries. Once you get the first berry, immediately use Eject Button towards the second berry to get it, then Volt Switch back to your original position.
