Thunder Wave (Japanese: でんじは Electromagnetic Wave) is a non-damaging Electric-type move introduced in Generation I.

It is:

• TM45 in Generation I.
• TM73 from Generation IV to Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
• TM16 in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!.
• TM14 in Pokémon Sword and Shield.
• TM082 in Generation IX.

Effect

Generation I to VI

Thunder Wave has 100% accuracy and paralyzes the target.

Thunder Wave takes types into consideration, so it cannot usually affect Ground-type Pokémon. This will take type changes into account, such as if Thunder Wave is affected by Normalize (which would make Ghost-type Pokémon immune to it).

In the Generation I handheld games only, Thunder Wave can affect a target behind a substitute.

Thunder Wave can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Charge was used in the previous turn. It can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Hex and Smelling Salts to give extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

Generation VII onwards

Thunder Wave's accuracy was lowered to 90%.

If powered up by an Electrium Z into Z-Thunder Wave, the user's Special Defense stat is raised by one stage.

Generation VIII

Trivia

• Thunder Wave is the only status move that takes the type chart into account.
  • Consequently, it is the only status move that cannot hit Ground-type Pokémon (even when other status moves are affected by Electrify).
  • In Generations II and III, Glare also took the type chart into account.
