Thunder Raid is a damage-dealing Electric-type move. It is Gym Leader Erick's signature move.

Effect

Thunder Raid inflicts damage, hitting the target up to three times per use. Its base power will increase by 20 with each successive strike, so the first, second, and third strikes have powers of 20, 40, and 60, respectively. Each of Thunder Raid's strikes has a separate accuracy check. If any strike fails, the move ends.

Assuming no modifications to accuracy or evasion, since each strike has 100% base accuracy, the move will always hit 3 times (for cumulative 120 base power).

If the user has Skill Link, the move will have only one accuracy check.

If the first hit misses due to Disguise, the first hit will count as a strike, but the power of the two subsequent hits will be 20 and 40 respectively.

If the target has Weak Armor or Stamina, each strike will activate it.

Pokémon learning Thunder Raid

Currently no Pokémon learn Thunder Raid naturally. The only user of the move is Erick during his Gym Battle.
