The reason this would be in the d/p programming is because platinum is going to be the third game just as emerald was to ruby/sapphire. So, to trade your new volt tackle electivire or other poke to d/p it would have to have it in it's codeing least we run into the GSC trading to RBY dilema. *shudders*

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Congrats to the winners of the 2023 Smog Awards!
So... it's in D/P's coding that Electivire can learn Volt Tackle?

Maybe both parents need Light Ball. Or maybe no Light Ball is needed. Or maybe you can only use a Ditto. Or have Volt Tackle as the only move on both
Hmmm. I dunno...ask the OP.
Now I'm trying male Machamp with Light Ball and Ditto with Everstone.
I've received a Swablu with Earthquake once.
The electivire breeding was a lie.
I bred a male electivire wih Volt tackle and Ditto - elekid had no volt tackle.

Female Ditto @ Everstone
~lol Transform.
Male Machamp @ Light Ball
~Close Combat, Thunderpunch, Counter, Volt Tackle.
Offspring Machop
~Leer, Close Combat, Thunderpunch, Counter.
Now I'm gonna try with both holding Light Balls. If it doesn't work, I'll want my money back >:|

That doesn't mean he's lieing. He went through Pal Park, plus he did it from ruby. There could of been something wrong with his game. Either way I'm going to experiment.
Nintendo isn't as dumb as alot of people make them out to be. I'm sure they have a general idea of things that have emerged as overpowered with the changes that occurred during the transition to D/P.
I bet that they've coded these moves into the game and then choose which extra moves that a Pokemon has the hidden ability to learn will make in appearance in a later game, thus bringing some balance to things that were overpowered.

Didn't work with both Ditto and male Machamp holding Light Balls. Now let's see male + female Machamp.
After that, I'll have to check Everstone Ditto + LB female, LB Ditto + Everstone female, LB Ditto + LB female, Everstone Ditto + Everstone female.

Jolly Machop

Lol what. Anyways, I think I'll be better hacking a Ruby Electabuzz -__-

No I can't (yet), negator is the only one I know who does.
Now I have this:
Female Ruby Electabuzz;
Male Ruby Electabuzz;
Ruby Ditto;
Pearl Ditto.
All of them know Volt Tackle, Close Combat, Counter and Thunderpunch (yeah, even the Dittos), have my OT (even the ones from Ruby), have arrived at lv.0, are Jolly with Guts and their IVs are 31/31/31/31/31/31. I'll try at first breeding male Electabuzz with Pearl Ditto, both holding Light Ball.

Male Ruby Electa + Pearl Ditto, both hacked holding LB, didn't work. Now, I'm swapping LB for Everstone on Ditto.
This is really boring.

Male Ruby Electa with LB + Pearl Ditto with Everstone, both hacked in Diamond, didn't work. I can't see how any other change would do anything, so I'll wait for the OP's word.
Yeah either way hopefully those Pokes will get Volt Tackle in Platinum.
I think it's pretty obvious that you guys have jumped the gun, here. While it's true that the code allows for these Pokemon to learn Volt Tackle, that doesn't mean it's an egg move at all.
Chances are good that it's just a tutor move to be introduced in Platinum, which will not be possible to pass on via breeding at all, as it wouldn't be a level-up move OR an egg move.
Like Softboiled Clefable.
EDIT: What would be a good idea, though, would be for someone to see if Gunk Shot Crogunk or Seed Bomb Pachirisu are in the code somehow. However, if they aren't, then chances are good that Game Freak is adding a lot of new code to Platinum. This theory would be backed up by the fact that Nintendo is only allowing Platinum in all future events... and excluding Diamond & Pearl.
Unfortunately, there is always the chance that nothing will ever come of Volt Tackle at all... left as unused data.

If anyone here could verify the claim in the Bulbapedia article, maybe the moves should at the very least be included in Shoddy's Extended Game? (Well, not like anyone will--or should--throw a fit if they don't get included, right?)
Probably.
I'm surprised no one has bothered cracking open the game's code directly.
Wait - Diamond/Pearl is being excluded from future events?
