Unlike most other special moves that Pokémon use in [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games]], there has never been a move named Thunder Jolt in any of the mainline ''Pokémon'' RPGs. Thunder Jolt instead originates from the ''[[bulbapedia:TCG|Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'', first debuting as a move present on the [[bulbapedia:Pikachu (Base Set 58)|original Pikachu card]] as well as the [[bulbapedia:Electrode (Base Set 21)|original Electrode card]] - though the move's English name originates from the former. The move's original effect in the TCG, where it damages the Pokémon under certain circumstances, is similar to how Thunder Jolt works when used by Pichu; however, this is not exclusive to Thunder Jolt, as all of Pichu's Electric-type moves damage itself. Thunder Jolt would later become a reoccuring move in the TCG for Lightning-type Pokémon, appearing on cards such as [[bulbapedia:Mareep (Dragons Exalted 38)|Mareep]], [[bulbapedia:Helioptile (Rebel Clash 63)|Helioptile]] and [[bulbapedia:Toxtricity (Darkness Ablaze 63)|Toxtricity]], though it has never appeared as a move on a Pichu card.
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 matches 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.
 
Its custom versions, however, are actual moves in the ''Pokémon'' games and match their effects accurately. {{iw|bulbapedia|Thunder Wave|move}} does no damage in the ''Pokémon'' RPGs, but it inflicts the Paralysis status. {{iw|bulbapedia|Thunder Shock|move}} is a basic low-level Electric-type move. Pikachu learns both Thunder Wave and Thunder Shock by leveling up in all games since the moves were first introduced in Generation I.
