Thunder Wave (Japanese: でんじは Electromagnetic Wave) is a non-damaging Electric-type move introduced in Generation I. It was TM45 in Generation I before losing its TM status in Generation II. It regained its TM status, albeit as TM73, in Generation IV onwards.

Effect

Generations I-VI

Thunder Wave has 100% accuracy and paralyzes the target.

Thunder Wave takes types into consideration, so it cannot usually affect Ground-type Pokémon. This will take type changes into account, such as if Thunder Wave is affected by Normalize (which would make Ghost-type Pokémon immune to it).

In the Generation I handheld games only, Thunder Wave can affect a target behind a substitute.

Thunder Wave can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra two appeal points if Charge was used in the prior turn. It can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Hex and Smelling Salts to give extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

Generation VII

Thunder Wave's accuracy was lowered to 90%.

If powered up by an Electrium Z into Z-Thunder Wave, the user's Special Defense stat is raised by one stage.
