TM25 Thunder can be bought for 30,000 Pokédollars on the fourth floor of the Lilycove Department Store. Both clerks on the department store’s fourth floor also sell other TMs.
Thunder is a damage-dealing Electric-type move with a moderate chance of paralyzing the target. However, its high base power is balanced by its low accuracy.
Its counterpart, Thunderbolt, is usually a better option thanks to its consistency.
But when Rain Dance is active, Thunder won’t miss, making it an excellent move to use in Rain Teams.

Thunder is a Special Electric-type move with a 30% chance of paralyzing the target. Paralyzing an opponent cuts their speed in half, and they also have a 25% chance of being unable to attack each turn.
Roughly one in three uses of Thunder will paralyze your opponent. Offensive sweepers afflicted with Paralysis aren’t going to be a threat anytime soon.
It’s a good move, but it’s overshadowed by TM24 Thunderbolt, a slightly weaker but more consistent version of Thunder.
Thunderbolt may have a smaller chance of paralyzing the target, but its perfect accuracy is definitely more valuable, even if you are sacrificing 20 base power.
However, in the rain, Thunder becomes much more of a threat.
Rain fixes Thunder’s main issue, making it a 100% accurate move. With this powerful move, any Electric-type Pokémon becomes invaluable in rain teams.
