Lightning Bolt (also known as Lightning) is a move skill that causes lightning to strike at the block the player is looking at. A Pokémon must know at least one of the following Electric-type moves to use Lightning Bolt:
Lightning Bolt does not require rain to be activated, but it must be possible for there to be rain in the biome that the player is in; Lightning Bolt will not work in biomes that cannot have rain, such as in areas with no precipitation or areas with snow.
Lightning Bolt has a variable cooldown depending on the Pokémon's Speed stat, based on the formula 25 seconds minus the Pokémon's speed stat divided by 20.
