In Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, Pikachu can learn Thunder using TM166. That does not mean Thunder is available to Pikachu in every Pokémon game.
In Scarlet and Violet, Pikachu learns Thunder from TM166
The Generation IX Pikachu learnset lists Thunder as TM166 in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet. This is a TM method, not evidence that Pikachu learns the move by leveling up. See Pikachu’s Generation IX move learnset.
Thunder is a separate battle move in Pokkén Tournament
The official Pokkén Tournament Pikachu move chart also lists Thunder, entered with midair A. That chart describes a move command in a fighting game, not a main-series Pokémon learnset or TM method. View the official Pikachu battle chart.
For other Pokémon games, check that game’s learnset
Move availability depends on the game. Pokémon HOME likewise describes move options in relation to the linked games and moves a Pokémon has previously learned. Learn about Pokémon HOME features. If you mean a different game, check Pikachu’s learnset for that specific title; the examples above do not establish availability across the whole series.
