Thunder-Punch Move Detail
Thunder Punch is an Electric-type move with 75 power and 100% accuracy. It has a 10% chance of paralyzing the target. Thunder Punch is a physical move, making it useful for Pokémon with high Attack stats. It has been a staple move for Electric-type physical attackers and is also favored by Pokémon with the ability to learn it through TM or breeding. The move is particularly effective in battles against Water- or Flying-type Pokémon, which are weak to Electric-type attacks. Thunder Punch combines reliable damage output with the added utility of potentially causing paralysis, giving it strategic value in both casual and competitive play.
