♦ Thunderbolt is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Electric-type move (10% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Thunder Shock is a special STAB-boosted 40-base power Electric-type move (10% chance to paralyze the target). ♦ Thunder Wave is a status move (paralyzes the target). ♦ Light Screen is a status move (while active, Zapdos's special is 2x when damaged). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target).

Note: The damage listed here under Versus is not actually calculated using the in-game damage formula. It is simply calculated using typing weaknesses and resistances from the selected type-matchup modifier along with STAB (if applied) to help sort through and give a general idea as to how powerful certain moves might be towards that selected typing after modifiers are applied. Several moves listed here may have additional effects that might alter actual damage output which are not factored on this specific list. Use damage calculators to find actual damage amounts.
