Trivia

• The metric prefix "giga" indicates 10⁹ (1,000,000,000). Based on the Japanese name of Thunderbolt (100,000 Volts), this move's voltage is 10,000 times greater.
• The Electrium Z pose returned in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's The Indigo Disk where players can unlock it after showing the student an Alolan Golem.
