On Smogon's Movedex:

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.

When used during rain, Thunder bypasses accuracy checks to always hit (unless the opponent is in the semi-invulnerable turn of a move such as Dig or Dive). When used during harsh sunlight, it has an accuracy of 50%.

Thunder can hit Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly and Bounce.

Generation IV

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, due to a glitch, when used in rain it has a 30% chance to hit a target that has used Protect or Detect; this was fixed in Pokémon Platinum onward.

Generation V

Thunder can now also hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of Sky Drop.

Generation VI

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

Super Smash Bros. series

Pikachu uses Thunder as its down special move. It summons a thunderbolt from the sky to attack opponents on the ground. In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, Thunder now summons a cloud that fires the thunderbolt, making the attack's range shorter. Additionally, the thunderbolt now acts a Meteor Smash.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pichu also uses Thunder as its down special move. It functions similarly to Pikachu's Thunder, although it strikes multiple times. If the thunderbolt hits Pichu, it will take damage.

Pokémon GO

Template:GoSpecialAttack Prior to an update to Niantic's servers on July 30, Thunder had a power of 65.

Trivia

In some copies of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, using Thunder or Thunderbolt may cause the game to freeze during the moves' animation sequences. This can be remedied by turning off the battle effects in the options menu.
- In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, the sound of Thunder or Thunderbolt may get stuck until the game resets.
The number of the TM for Thunder is the same number as the National Pokédex number of Pikachu—the first Pokémon by National Pokédex order that is able to learn it by leveling up.
