Thunder (かみなり Kaminari?, lit. "Lightning") is Pikachu and Pichu's Down Special Move.When used, the Pokémon yells as a bolt of lightning drops from the sky, striking the user if its horizontal momentum has not carried it out of the way (and if there is no platform in the way). Upon hitting the user, a large shockwave is created with stronger knockback than the lightning itself. The user can act quicker if they are not stuck.
