Type Matchups
As a Electric-type EvoMon, Thunderfang has specific type advantages and disadvantages:
Strong Against: Water
Weak Against: Ground
Resists: Electric
Electric destroys Water-types, giving Thunderfang a free switch into Aquashell. Ground-types are the only hard counter — Thunderfang can't touch them without Hidden Power Ice.
Best Moveset and Build
The optimal moveset for Thunderfang depends on your intended use:
PvE/Dungeon Build:
- Focus on special attacks for maximum damage
- Include one coverage move for type matchups you are weak against
- Use stat-boosting moves when safe to set up sweeps
PvP Build:
- Thunderbolt and Crunch — Dual STAB pressure
- Thunder Wave (Paralysis) — Disrupt opponents
- Ice Fang (Ice) — Handle common counters
| Move Type | Recommended | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| STAB Attack | Thunderbolt, Volt Switch | Core damage |
| Coverage | Ice Fang (Ice), Iron Tail (Steel) | Handle counters |
| Status | Thunder Wave (Paralysis) | Disruption |

Evolution and How to Get It
To obtain Thunderfang, you first need to catch its pre-evolution Sparkpup. Sparkpup can be found in the wild on various islands.
Once you have Sparkpup, evolve it using Thunder Stone. The evolution process requires reaching the appropriate level and having the necessary item.
Evolution tips:
- Level Sparkpup to at least level 20 before evolving for better base stats
- Make sure to teach Sparkpup all desired moves before evolution
- The evolution significantly boosts all stats, making it worth the investment
Team Composition Tips
Thunderfang works best in teams that complement its strengths and cover its weaknesses:
Ideal teammates:
- Leafguardian (Grass) — Covers Ground weakness
- Frostwing (Ice) — Adds control while Thunderfang deals burst damage
Avoid pairing with:
- EvoMon that share the same weaknesses
- EvoMon that compete for the same role without adding coverage
The key to building around Thunderfang is ensuring your team can handle the Electric-type's counters while Thunderfang handles the threats it is strong against.
