Trivia

  • This is the only move whose English name starts with a non-alphabetic character.
  • The name of this move is partly based on the Japanese name for Thunderbolt, 100,000 Volts. The 10,000,000 figure references that it is an upgrade of Thunderbolt.
  • Along with Catastropika, 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt is the only species-exclusive Z-Move to have a unique pose not shared with other Z-Moves of the same type. Coincidentally, both are exclusive to Pikachu, although 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt can only be used by Pikachu in a cap.
  • Pokémon Masters EX is the only game where World Cap Pikachu can use the Z-Move 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, as it is unable to perform the move in the core series games.
  • In Pokémon Masters EX, no other sync move has Best Buds 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt's effect.
  • Even though Z-Moves have been absent from core series games since Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, this move is referenced by Iono upon being defeated for the first time in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: "You're as flashy and bright as a 10,000,000-volt Thunderbolt, friendo!"
  • A similar move named MegaVolt (Japanese: 100まんボルト 1,000,000 Volts) was shown much earlier on in Pokémon Adventures by Red's Pikachu, Pika, to defeat Lance. As the name implies, it is a ten times stronger version of Thunderbolt.
