Can volt switch hit ground?

Question

my jolteon can easily spam volt switch, but will it effect ground types?normal electric dont,but volt switch seems like it should since you only use it on ground types

Answer 1

No, Volt Switch cannot hit Ground types, or any Pokémon with an electric immunity (ex. via Lightning Rod). Additionally, if Volt Switch hits an immune target, the user will not switch out.

Comments

If it hits a focus sash Shedinja with wonder guard somehow suppressed, then it won't do damage, but the user will still switch out.
