Effect

Volt Switch allows the user to switch out to its Poké Ball immediately after inflicting damage to the foe. If there is only one Pokémon left in the user's team or if the user is a wild Pokémon, no secondary effect will apply. It shares this effect with U-Turn.

As of 1.2.1, there is a bug that makes Volt Switch pass stat changes from the user to the ally that switches in, similar to Baton Pass.
