The only way to get TM24 Thunderbolt is to buy the TM from the Celadon City Prize Corner. Thunderbolt costs 4,000 coins in total, and you can get coins from the Game Corner next door.

You’ll be able to buy a total of 500 coins for 10,000 Pokédollars, so if you wanted to buy all the coins necessary then each copy of TM24 would cost 80,000 Pokédollars.

TM24 Thunderbolt Location (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Starting at Celadon City’s entrance, walk west a little bit past the Pokémon Center.

Thunderbolt is considered the best Electric-type attack in FRLG, and it’s absolutely worth getting onto your team.

The move offers great damage with perfect accuracy. Plus you can get multiple copies of the TM, so you can teach it to multiple Pokémon in your party.

And if this move is used by an Electric-type Pokémon, Thunderbolt’s base Power becomes 143 thanks to STAB.

Thunderbolt also has strong PP capacity with 15 starting PP. This allows the attack to be used repeatedly over the course of multiple battles.

And it gets even better:

Thunderbolt also has a 10% chance of paralyzing its target with each hit.

There are very few downsides to this move, so it’s absolutely worth using for Electric-type coverage.

Tip: Since Thunderbolt is a Special-type attack, be sure to pair it with your best Special Attackers. Magneton, Jolteon, and Zapdos are all lethal options to teach Thunderbolt thanks to their high Special Attack stats.
