On Smogon's Movedex:

Thunderbolt (Japanese: １０まんボルト 100,000 Volts) is a damage-dealing Electric-type move introduced in Generation I.

It is:

TR08 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.

It can be upgraded to the special Z-Move Stoked Sparksurfer by Alolan Raichu holding Aloraichium Z, and to the special Z-Move 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt by Pikachu in a cap holding Pikashunium Z.

Effect

Generation I

Thunderbolt does damage and has a 10% chance of paralyzing the target. Thunderbolt cannot paralyze Electric-type Pokémon.

Generation II to V

Thunderbolt can now paralyze Electric-type Pokémon.

Thunderbolt can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 4 bonus appeal points if Charge was used in the previous turn.

Generation VI onwards

Thunderbolt's power was decreased from 95 to 90. It can no longer paralyze Electric-type Pokémon once again, due to them now being immune to paralysis.

Thunderbolt can be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if Charge was used in the prior turn.

Trivia

This move's name is the same as the category of Electivire and Zebstrika.
Thunderbolt is the only move that can be upgraded into multiple exclusive Z-Moves: Alolan Raichu's Stoked Sparksurfer and Pikachu's 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt.
Thunderbolt's Japanese name, １０まんボルト, corresponds with the information present in some of Raichu's Pokédex entries, which state its electric bursts can reach and, in some cases, even exceed 100,000 volts.
While Thunderbolt is depicted crashing down on the opponent in the handheld games, its depiction in the console games is more akin to how it is depicted in the anime, as the bolt goes straight toward the opponent. Despite this change, its description still stated "a strong electric blast crashes down on the target" until Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
In Pokémon Red and Green, the battle effect for Thunderbolt contains several more, shorter flashes compared to the animation in the international Pokémon Red and Blue. The move animation was likely toned down to prevent epileptic seizures.
In some copies of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, using Thunderbolt or Thunder may cause the game to freeze during the moves' animation sequences. This, however, can be prevented by turning off the battle effects in the options menu.
- In Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald, the sound of Thunderbolt or Thunder may get stuck until the game resets.
As revealed in Climbing the Walls!, Thunderbolt is Ash's favorite move.
Because it is a staple in Pikachu's moveset since the fifth ever episode, Thunderbolt is one of the most, if not the most, featured move throughout the entire animated series.
Thunderbolt is among the three attacks enhanced into "new" moves in the Pokémon Adventures manga, the others being Razor Leaf and Thunder.

This article is part of Project Moves and Abilities, a Bulbapedia project that aims to write comprehensive articles on two related aspects of the Pokémon games.

[How_Best_Buddies_Thunderbolt_works_in_Pokémon_Masters_EX-1] Ash & Pikachu on StDk's PomaTools: Details of Best Buddies Thunderbolt are primarily found by configuring Ash & Pikachu's move level at the top the provided link's page (which is at move level 5 by default) followed by entering the "Damage" menu in the upper-right corner, modifying the number of move-gauge slots used, and then hitting the button "Calculate". Then, at the bottom, you'll see Best Buddies Thunderbolt's resulting power, which will be (nearly) equal to one of the figures at the rightmost column of the table in the subsection "In-depth description of Best Buddies Thunderbolt."

 ==Trivia==
-* In some copies of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, using Thunderbolt or {{m|Thunder}} may {{DL|List of glitches (Generation III)|Stuck audio bug|cause}} the game to [[game freeze|freeze]] during the moves' animation sequences. This can be remedied by turning off the [[Battle effects]] in the options menu.
+* This move's name is the same as the {{pkmn|category}} of {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Zebstrika}}.
+* Thunderbolt is the only move that can be upgraded into multiple exclusive [[Z-Move]]s: {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}'s {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}} and {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.
+* Thunderbolt's Japanese name, {{tt|１０まんボルト|100,000 Volts}}, corresponds with the information present in some of Raichu's [[Pokédex]] entries, which state its electric bursts can reach and, in some cases, even exceed 100,000 volts.
+* While Thunderbolt is depicted crashing down on the opponent in the handheld games, its depiction in the console games is more akin to how it is depicted in the anime, as the bolt goes straight toward the opponent. Despite this change, its description still stated "a strong electric blast crashes down on the target" until [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
+* In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the battle effect for Thunderbolt contains several more, shorter flashes compared to the animation in the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. The move animation was likely toned down to prevent {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s.
+* In some copies of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, using Thunderbolt or {{m|Thunder}} may {{DL|List of glitches in Generation III|Stuck audio bug|cause the game to freeze}} during the moves' animation sequences. This, however, can be prevented by turning off the [[battle effects]] in the options menu.
 ** In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, the sound of Thunderbolt or Thunder may get stuck until the game resets.
-* In the console games, Thunderbolt is shown going straight forward to the opposing Pokémon, while in the handheld games, it is shown going straight down.
+* As revealed in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', Thunderbolt is {{Ash}}'s favorite move.
-* Because of [[Ash's Pikachu]] using this move since some of the earliest episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is one of the most featured moves throughout the entire series.
+* Because it is a staple in {{AP|Pikachu}}'s moveset since [[EP005|the fifth ever episode]], Thunderbolt is one of the most, if not ''the'' most, featured move throughout the entire {{pkmn|animated series}}.
-* Thunderbolt's Japanese name ({{tt|１０まんボルト|100,000 Volts}}) corresponds with Raichu's Pokédex entries which state that its Electric attacks can reach up to 100,000 volts of electricity.
+* Thunderbolt is among the three attacks enhanced into "new" moves in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the others being {{m|Razor Leaf}} and Thunder.
-* In {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the battle effect for Thunderbolt contains several more, shorter flashes compared to the animation in the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. The move animation was likely toned down to prevent {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s.
-* In ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', {{Ash}} revealed that Thunderbolt is his favorite move.
-* Thunderbolt is the only move that can be upgraded into multiple exclusive Z-Moves: {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Raichu}}'s {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}} and {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}.
-* Thunderbolt is among the three attacks enhanced into "new" moves in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the others being {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Thunder}}.
