Like its other [[special move|specials]] and electrically charged attacks, Thunder Jolt [[recoil damage|damages]] Pichu upon use, inflicting 1% (0.7% in ''Ultimate'') damage each time. However, it deals considerably more damage than Pikachu's to compensate. {{SSBU|Kirby}} also gets the damage if using the move after having [[Inhale (Kirby)|copied]] Pichu. | Like its other [[special move|specials]] and electrically charged attacks, Thunder Jolt [[recoil damage|damages]] Pichu upon use, inflicting 1% (0.7% in ''Ultimate'') damage each time.

(series)|the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games]], there has never been an move named Thunder Jolt in any of the ''Pokémon'' RPGs. Thunder Jolt was, however, present on the [[bulbapedia:Pikachu (Base Set 58)|original Pikachu card]] as one of the many moves invented for the [[bulbapedia:TCG|Pokémon Trading Card Game]] (TCG); both the English and the Japanese names on the card match the ''Smash'' move's name in the respective versions of ''Smash Bros.''. The name of the move in the ''Smash Bros.'' games likely arose from the popularity of the trading cards at the time of ''[[Smash 64]]''. The move's effect in the TCG, where it damages Pikachu under certain circumstances, is similar to how Thunder Jolt works when used by Pichu; however, all of Pichu's Electric-type moves damage itself. | ||
Its custom versions, however, are actual moves in the ''Pokémon'' games and match their effects accurately. {{iw|bulbapedia|Thunder Wave|move}} does no damage in the Pokémon RPGs, but it inflicts the Paralysis status. {{iw|bulbapedia|Thunder Shock|move}} is a basic low-level Electric-type attack that many Electric-type Pokémon start with. Both moves can be learned by Pikachu in all main series ''Pokémon'' games. | |||

*In ''Smash 64'', an interesting [[glitch]] can occur. When the user sends a grounded Thunder Jolt over a ledge (such as the one left of the [[Greenhouse]] on [[Hyrule Castle]]) while an opponent {{SSB|Fox}}'s [[Reflector]] is active (and very near but not touching the wall), the Thunder Jolt's sprite will continue through the opponent with the animation direction reversed in a sort of electrical moonwalk, making the arc appear to bounce completely vertically rather than parabolically. This is purely visual and does not affect its [[hitbox]], speed or duration. | *In ''Smash 64'', an interesting [[glitch]] can occur.
