Thunder Punch Effect

Has the user unleash an electrified punch in the designated direction, dealing damage and applying a slowing effect to opposing Pokémon it hits. Fighter Mode: This move has a shorter range and no longer applies a slowing effect, but it deals increased damage.

How to Use Thunder Punch

Get a Good Angle

When using Thunder Punch, try to get a good angle to use Thunder Punch since the move deals damage in a cone in the designated direction. You can use Eject Button, or any of Pawmot's dash moves to get into position to use Thunder Punch. Ideally, you'd want to hit multiple enemies with a single punch.

Deal More Damage During Fighter Mode

During Fighter Mode, Thunder Punch has shorter range and no longer applies a slow but deals more damage. Take advantage of the increased damage during Fighter Mode to knock out opponents or at least chip a way a large chunk of their HP.

Thunder Punch Patch History

1.20.3.10 Cooldown decreased from 6s to 5.5s.
1.20.2.7 Added effect: Now paralyzes the opponent (decreasing movement speed and attack speed). Damage decreased by 8%.
