Thunder Wave is an Electric-type move introduced in Generation I that many Electric-type Pokémon can learn. It paralyzes the opponent with a jolt of electricity.

Trivia

• Thunder Wave is the only status move that takes type immunities into account, as all other status moves ignore type immunities.
  • This also makes it the only status move that is incapable of hitting a certain type of Pokémon (not taking into account Abilities or other factors other than typing).
