'''Thunder''' monsters gain a boost from [[Umi]] and [[Mountain]]. Some of the stronger ones include [[Batteryman AA]], [[Super-Electromagnetic Voltech Dragon]], [[Sanga of the Thunder]], [[The Creator]] and [[Zaborg the Thunder Monarch]]. In the TCG, Thunder-type monsters have almost no specific support (excluding the likes of [[Electro-Whip]]), but the OCG has [[Makiu]] which is support for Thunders (and [[Summoned Skull]]). [[Thunder Dragon]] is a commonly used thunder monster, for his deck-thinning abilities and for his fusion counterpart, [[Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon]]. Thunder-Type monsters are generally [[Light]]. The strongest Thunder Monster is [[Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder]].

Thunder Dragon Colossus
"Thunder Dragon Colossus", a Thunder monster.

Thunder (いかずち Ikazuchi) is a Type of Monster Card. It debuted in Vol.1 in the OCG, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in the TCG, and Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!! in Rush Duel.

Overview[edit]

The Thunder Type appears to be an adaptation of the original manga's THUNDER Attribute; it represents control over electricity. Thunder monsters often appear to be beings with electrical powers, such as "Zaborg the Thunder Monarch" or "The Ascended of Thunder". Sometimes, they might also appear as non-human beings who utilize thunder and lightning as part of themselves, such as "Watthopper" and "Tripwire Beast", or as pure manifestations of electricity or thunder-inducing phenomena, such as "Electric Virus" and "LaLa Li-oon".

Many early Thunder monster effects and support cards focus upon destroying the opponent's monsters. Later members and supports took it further by focusing on banishing cards.

There is also a subset of Level 4 LIGHT Thunder monsters that are noteworthy for stalling or locking down both players from performing certain actions; "Denko Sekka" prevents Spell/Trap Cards from being set on the field; "Lightning Rod Lord" forbids both players from activating Spell Cards during the Main Phase 1; "Thunder King Rai-Oh" prevents cards from being searched from the Deck; and "Zap Mustung", which locks both players from Special Summoning in a very peculiar manner.
