Thunderclap (Japanese: じんらい Thunderclap) is a damage-dealing Electric-type move introduced in Generation IX. It is one of the signature moves of Raging Bolt.

Effect

Thunderclap has a priority of +1. If Thunderclap's target has selected a physical or special attack and has not yet had a chance to execute its move, Thunderclap will damage the target; otherwise, Thunderclap will fail. Thunderclap only depends on the move the target has selected, and is not affected by any consideration of whether the attack can actually be executed, such as status conditions like sleep or freeze or Abilities like Truant.

Description

Games Description
