Effect[]
In battle[]
Thunder deals damage and has a 10% chance to paralyzed non-Electric types. Thunder never misses in rain but has 50% accuracy in intense sunlight. It may also paralyze the target. It also hits Pokémon that are in the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, Bounce or Sky Drop.
In Generation II, The paralyze chance is buffed to 30%.
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, due to a glitch Thunder has a 30% chance to bypass Protect and Detect in rain but starting in Pokémon Platinum, Thunder can no longer bypass them.
Its base power was nerfed from 120 to 110 In Generation VI.
Contests[]
Startles all Pokémon that have already appealed.
If Charge, Lock-On or Rain Dance was used before Thunder, it gives 2 extra appeal Points in Gen III.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, if Rain Dance and Charge are used before thunder, the appeals bonus is now 3.
Super Contests[]
Earn +2 if the Pokémon performs first in the turn.
