===Your Move: Thunder===
===Character of the Day: Falkner===
* '''Thunder''' (Japanese: '''かみなり''' ''Thunder'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Electric}} move introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[TM25]] in all generations so far.
* '''Falkner''' (Japanese: '''ハヤト''' ''Hayato'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Violet City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Violet Gym]]. He hands out the {{badge|Zephyr}} to Trainers who defeat him. He specializes in {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.  
* Thunder has 100% accuracy when used in heavy rain, regardless of the opponents evasiveness stat change. It also can hit Pokémon using {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Bounce}} and has a 30% of paralyzing the foe.
* Falkner appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the first Gym Leader players will encounter. Falkner runs the Violet Gym, which he inherited from his father; the Pokémon he uses in battle also formerly belonged to him.
* Thunder shares its name with {{p|Zapdos}}'s Japanese name.
* Falkner's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''. Ash battled Falkner in a 3 on 3 battle to obtain his first badge in [[Johto]].
* {{p|Zekrom}} is the only Pokémon to learn Thunder by level up that does not have the Electric-type as its primary type.  
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]] Falkner is also a part time police officer as he was seen at the crime scene after {{adv|Silver}} to a {{TP|Silver|Feraligatr|Totodile}}. It was also revealed that he is not yet a Gym Leader at the beginning of the chapter but [[PS104|later]] passed the Gym Leader exam.
* Pikachu uses Thunder as its down B attack in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.
* Falkner has appeared on [[Falkner's TM 01 (VS 103)|two]] [[Falkner's TM 02 (VS 104)|cards]] both of which are from the {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} expansion deck.
* Thunder was first used in the anime by {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City!]]''.
* Falkner is the only Gym Leader, besides Brock in Generation I, who gives out a TM that contains a move ({{m|Mud-Slap}}) that is not of his Gym's specialty type.
* Thunder has appeared many a time in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the most recent time being on the {{ct|Lightning}} {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Stunfisk|42}} from {{TCG|Noble Victories}}. The attack damages the user if tails is the result of a coin flip.
