Unlike most other special moves that Pokémon use in [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games]], there has never been an move named Thunder Jolt in any of the ''Pokémon'' RPGs. Thunder Jolt was, however, present on the [[bulbapedia:Pikachu (Base Set 58)|original Pikachu card]] as one of the many moves invented for the [[bulbapedia:TCG|Pokémon Trading Card Game]] (TCG); the English name on the card match the ''Smash'' move's name in the respective versions of ''Smash Bros.''. The name of the move in the ''Smash Bros.'' games likely arose from the popularity of the trading cards at the time of ''[[Smash 64]]''. The move's effect in the TCG, where it damages Pikachu under certain circumstances, is similar to how Thunder Jolt works when used by Pichu; however, all of Pichu's Electric-type moves damage itself. | Unlike most other special moves that Pokémon use in [[Super Smash Bros.

Thunder Jolt’s Japanese name is shared with a move called {{iw|bulbapedia|Thunder Shock|move}} which is a 40 power Electric type move that has 10% chance of paralyzing the target. It can be learned by many Electric-type Pokémon and Pikachu and Pichu can learn it in all main series ''Pokémon'' games. | [[File:ThunderShockGen6.png|thumb|left|100px|Thunder Shock in the ''Pokémon X and Y''.]] | ||
