Is thunder available as of ep 18?

[LazyTyper27]

Like I said on the title can you get thunder this episode? If that is the case can someone tell me where it is located because I'm doing a bug type mono run and I plan to use Galvantula

According to that list thunder is not available as a tm.

Nope, sorry. Thunderbolt is available eventually, but since you specify Galvantula I'm guessing you intended it to work with Compound Eyes...

Well actually when I say Thunderbolt is available I mean that you can get it just before the last gym battle. So you might have to survive on Discharge for most of the game haha

Hahaha i didnt know it's that late in the game. Discharge is still good anyway 10 less base power but has 2o% more paralysis rate.

Thanks again for the heads up

Sure thing

Would breeding pokemon outside of your chosen type, Bug, be against the rules?

If not, maybe you could breed a Electabuzz with Thunder (Human-Like) with Volbeat or Illumise (Bug/Human-Like) egg-group to get one of those two bugs baby with Thunder. And then breed that one with Galvantula to get a baby that knows Thunder?
Could someone double-check my thinking?
 

EDIT: Ugh, I just realized the topic is kinda old now... Apologies.
