Thunder Wave (でんじは Electromagnetic Wave) is a non-damaging Electric-type move introduced in the first generation. It is TM45 in the first generation and TM73 in the fourth and fifth generations.
Effect[]
Thunder Wave has 100% accuracy and paralyzes the target.
In the Second Pokémon generation, when an in-game opponent outside of the Battle Tower uses Thunder Wave, the move has a 25% chance to fail.
Thunder Wave can be used as the second move of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if Charge was used in the previous turn. It can also be used as part of a Contest Spectacular combination, causing Hex and Smelling Salts to give extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.
Ground-type Pokémon holding a Ring Target can be affected by Thunder Wave.
In the Sixth Pokémon generation, Thunder Wave can no longer paralyze Electric-type Pokémon, due to them being immune to paralysis.
