In-Depth Analysis
Voltorb's 330 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Speed (100) carries most matchups, but a low Attack stat of 30 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Electric, Grass combination gives Voltorb 4 resistances and 4 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
With a catch rate of 190, Voltorb is comparatively easy to catch in the wild. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
