Trivia
- In some copies of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, using Thunderbolt or Thunder may freeze the game during the animation sequence. This may be rectified by turning off the battle animations.
- Another, less harmful variation also exists, which causes the sound of the attack gets stuck in a loop and plays as long as the game is turned on, even after the battle is over.
- In Pokémon Red and Green, the battle animation for Thunderbolt contains several more, shorter flashes compared to the animation in the international Pokémon Red and Blue. The attack animation was likely toned down to prevent epileptic seizures.
- In the console games, Thunderbolt is shown going straight forward to the foes' Pokémon, while in the handheld games it is shown going straight down. This was most likely done to prevent confusion with Thunder.
- Because of Pikachu's early mastery of this move in the anime, it is by far one of the most used moves throughout the entire series, being used since even the earliest episodes. However, such episodes would also use moves simply called "Electric attack" or even "lightning" attack.
- Both ThunderShock and Thunderbolt were translated to Portuguese as "Choque do Trovão".
- The Japanese name of Thunderbolt explains why in Raichu's Pokédex entries it states that it's Electric attacks can reach up to 100,000 volts of electricity.
