General Info

Thunder Wave inflicts paralysis with 100% accuracy, considering types, typically avoiding Ground-type Pokémon. It even adjusts for type changes like those affected by Normalize. In Generation I handheld games only, it can paralyze a target behind a substitute. In Contests, using Thunder Wave after Charge earns 2 bonus appeal points, and in Spectacular Contests, it boosts Hex and Smelling Salts, granting three extra appeal points if they follow it.
