When used, the Pokémon yells as a bolt of lightning drops from the sky, damaging opponents in the Thunder's path. Upon hitting the user, a large shockwave is created, which deals more damage and knockback than the regular bolt, along with granting temporary invincibility to the user (this is best seen when using it on a [[Blast Box]], where the Blast Box is destroyed, but the user isn't harmed). The lightning blast stalls the user in place for a while, so they can act more quickly if they are not stuck. | When used, the Pokémon yells as a bolt of lightning drops from the sky, damaging opponents in the Thunder's path.

*[[Rayquaza]] - In ''Brawl'', when Rayquaza is brought down to low HP levels during the [[Boss]] fight against it, Rayquaza may use Thunder. Rayquaza will fly up, circle a few times, then let a thunderbolt loose beneath it. This attack can [[Shield break|break shields]] easily due to its quick consecutive hits, and can bring characters upward, but does not have any real knockback, despite causing high damage. | *[[Rayquaza]] - In ''Brawl'', when Rayquaza is brought down to low HP levels during the [[Boss]] fight against it, Rayquaza may use Thunder.

Thunder is based on the move of the same name in the [[Pokémon (universe)|''Pokémon'']] games, introduced in the first generation. Thunder is a powerful special Electric-type attack, being the strongest Electric-type attack in the first generation. It has a notable drawback, however: its relatively low accuracy (but certain weather effects can decrease or increase its accuracy). However, it can hit Pokémon that are preparing to use [[Fly]], while most other attacks fail against them, which is reflected in the fact that in the ''Smash Bros.'' games, Thunder can hit airborne opponents. | |||
In every generation, Pikachu is able to learn Thunder though leveling up, usually being one of the last moves it learns that way. Pikachu can also learn the move via {{s|bulbapedia|TM25}} in every generation so far; this TM is also the only way Pichu can learn the move. | |||
