True.Grass Knot can provide a decent amount of the same coverage and may be easier to animate.
Probably because of its high base power, so having opponents tank it or survive it is in theory a good way to establish how tough they are. Like "oh wow *insert Pokemon* just shrugged off a Volt Tackle! Ash and Pikachu are in serious trouble!". Of course, this is only in theory, as having the supposedly ultimate attack being constantly tanked will just start making it look weak.I swear it seemed like it failed more often than it actually worked.
At least Volt Tackle had a much higher success rate than Torterra's Rock Climb, though. Seriously, though, Rock Climb was like the anti-Seismic Toss: whenever Charizard successfully executed a Seismic Toss, it almost always guaranteed a victory. Whenever Torterra tried to use Rock Climb, it almost always caused it to lose.
