Drops wicked thunderbolts, dealing damage to opposing Pokemon in the area of effect.
Thunder is best used as a follow up to stuns or slows, maximizing its damage. You can use it as a follow up to Electroweb, Electro Ball, or Thunderbolt.
If you have allies nearby, moves like Crustle's Rock Tomb, Slowbro's Telekinesis, and Alolan Ninetales' Avalanche are great set ups for Thunder.
You can use Thunder to zone out enemies, discouraging them from getting close, especially when taking boss Pokemon like Drednaw.
Remember that you can manually aim Thunder on the ground instead of relying on the auto targetting system. It doesn't have to hit enemies, it only has to deny an area or path from the enemy.
