TM25 Thunder can be bought for 70,000 Pokédollars in the Icirrus City Pokémon Center at the desk where TMs are sold.
But before you’re able to reach Icirrus City, you’ll need to obtain the Jet Badge from Mistralton City and make your way through Twist Mountain.
In Pokémon Black and White, Poké Marts are no longer a separate building – instead the marts are included inside Pokémon Centers. The desk that sells items can be found to the right of the Center’s entrance.

As a Special-type Electric move, Thunder is a dangerous attack with serious K.O. potential.
It has a higher PP level than most other moves at its power level, but faces the same accuracy drawbacks with a 70% chance to hit its target.
Thunder’s accuracy is boosted to 100% when used in rain conditions. Ideally, a trainer would pair both Rain Dance and Thunder together in a Pokémon’s moveset so that rainy conditions could be created easily.
However, there’s a short list of Pokémon that can learn both moves.
- Legendaries Thundurus and Zekrom can learn/be taught both Rain Dance and Thunder, but are difficult to obtain.
- Cinccino can be taught both moves also and can utilize the moveset effectively before catching any Legendaries.
Thunder also boasts a secondary effect, paralyzing its target 30% of the time.
While paralysis doesn’t happen often, this is a useful status condition to inflict on a Pokémon that is able to survive Thunder’s high damage.
This move works best when used by Pokémon with a high Special Attack stat. Thundurus and Zekrom are obvious choices for the move, with a base Special Attack of 125 and 120 respectively.
But two of the best Thunder users are Porygon-Z and Magnezone.
Porygon-Z has a 135 Special Attack stat, and the Electric-type Magnezone has a Special Attack of 130.
