Players will find Thunderstones organically simply by exploring and collecting items, butthere are a few areas in which Thunderstones can be found guaranteed. Players that are looking to get their hands on a stone immediately can head to Levincia City, far eastand slightly North of Naranja Academy. Once there, players need to head to the pier that connects the two sides of the city, then head to the larger pier that juts off to the East. Here, players should head to the wall that outlooks the Eastern sea. Near the center of this wall they can find a Thunderstone.
Players can also get a Thunderstone as a reward for catching 30 different Pokemon. Once they collect the required amount of Pokemon, players need to head to the Pokedex screen (by hitting the - button and then selecting Pokedex with A to enter it) and then tapping X on the controller to see a list of applicable trophies they can gain from filling the Pokedex. Entering this Trophy area will cause the bar to automatically fill up andplayers will be rewarded with the Thunder Stone after they’ve hit 30 Pokemon volumes unlocked.
