TM24 (Thunderbolt) is a Technical Machine (TM) in the Pokémon series that teaches the move Thunderbolt to a compatible Pokémon. Thunderbolt is an Electric-type move with 90 base power and 100% accuracy, making it a highly reliable offensive option. When used, it has a 10% chance of paralyzing the target, which can significantly hinder an opponent's Pokémon by reducing their speed and potentially preventing them from attacking.
Thunderbolt is a special move, meaning it deals damage based on the user's Special Attack stat and the target's Special Defense stat. Its versatility and power make it a popular choice for Electric-type Pokémon, like Jolteon, Raichu, and Zapdos, as well as other Pokémon that can learn it via TM, such as Alakazam and Gengar, to cover their type weaknesses or provide diverse movepools.
