(Undo revision 2339921 by Rahl (talk) It could have shot an electric type move that is not thunder and used it to look like Thunder. It's a Showcase, Pokemon sometimes do special things with their moves.)

Thunder (Japanese: かみなり Thunder) is a damage-dealing Electric-type move introduced in Generation I. It is TM25 in all generations so far.

Effect

Generation I

Thunder deals damage and has a 10% chance of paralyzing the target. Thunder cannot paralyze Electric-type Pokémon.

Generations II to III

Thunder now has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target. Thunder can now paralyze Electric-type Pokémon.

It has 100% accuracy when used during rain and has 50% accuracy if used during harsh sunlight.

Thunder can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly and Bounce, and if it does, it will deal double damage.

Generation IV

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl it has a 30% chance to penetrate through Protect or Detect when used in rain, but not in Pokémon Platinum onward.

Generation V

Thunder is guaranteed to hit the target in rain regardless of the user's accuracy drops or the target's evasion boosts.

Thunder can now hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop, and, if it does, it will deal double damage.

Generation VI

Thunder's power changed from 120 to 110. It can no longer paralyze Electric-type Pokémon.
