This is an auto-[[charge]]able special move that fires a long ranged [[electric]] projectile. Like most moves of its nature, the move will automatically charge once the special button is tapped, and pressing the button will fire it during the said period. Also during said charging period, the move's charge can be stored by [[shield]]ing or [[roll]]ing (the latter done by tapping left or right). In midair, charging can be canceled with an air dodge or a double jump. Any stored charge is lost if Robin [[flinch]]es from a hit while charging or is [[KO]]'d.

If [[Kirby]] copies this move and exhausts the Thunder tome that he acquires from inhaling Robin, the copy ability is discarded (with Kirby immediately losing Robin's "hair" hat alongside the effects used when discarding a copy ability through taunting) when the last projectile it produced disappears.

| A small white jolt of electricity that travels quickly in a straight line. The fastest stage of the move, though with mediocre range, knockback, and damage, unable to KO even at 999%. Travels a little under half of [[Final Destination]], good for interrupting approaches at a safe distance. It can also be a combo starter at close range due to its low ending lag and knockback.

|A yellow ball of electricity that travels in a straight line with less speed than Thunder. A fairly standard projectile that travels around three quarters of Final Destination with decent KO potential near ledges and offstage (KOing at around 130% at the edge of Final Destination), and due to its quick charge time and range, it is a decent [[spam]]mable projectile. Charged after half a second. <br/>Japanese: {{ja|エルサンダー|Erusandā}}, ''Elthunder''

|A bright purple slow-moving ball of electricity that gradually picks up speed. Travels slightly further than Elthunder. On contact, it traps opponents in an electric 'X' shape while inflicting damage. It has little to no KO potential on its own in ''Smash 4'', but moderate KO potential in ''Ultimate'' due to a substantial increase in damage and knockback (KOing at around 125% near ledges). It is good for pressuring shields, although its function differs between games: the ''Smash 4'' version is tooled for followups as it gives Robin enough time to attack while the victim is trapped in the move, while the ''Ultimate'' versions is better for direct KOing. Charged after about two seconds. <br/>Japanese: {{ja|ギガサンダー|Gigasandā}}, ''Gigathunder''

|An extremely long beam of electricity that rapidly travels across the stage, dealing considerable knockback and passing through opponents and other projectiles. In ''Smash 4'', holding down the special attack button increases its duration from 84 frames to up to 92, and in turn increases damage; in ''Ultimate'', the duration is always 92 frames. It is the strongest version of Thunder, KOing effectively in both games: its high launch angle in ''Smash 4'' gives it reliable KO potential anywhere onstage at around 160% (150% if the button is held down), while its lower launch angle and higher base knockback in ''Ultimate'' makes it much more powerful near ledges and as an offstage finisher. The firing animation is distinct from the other charge levels as Robin tosses his sword during a turn and fires the Thoron via a back-handed manner before catching his weapon. This animation makes it very risky to use the air, as the player risks a [[self-destruct]] if they initiate it below ledge level. Thoron's hitbox is connected to Robin, and the entirety of the beam will move with Robin's movements if used in the air. One of Robin's reliable ranged finishers, apart from a thrown Levin Sword or tome. Charged after three and a half seconds. <br/>Japanese: {{ja|トロン|Toron}}, ''Thoron''
