Thwackey isn't listed as a wild encounter in our game data. It is usually obtained by evolving its earlier stage. See the evolution chain above for how.
The faster a Thwackey can beat out a rhythm with its two sticks, the more respect it wins from its peers.
When it’s drumming out rapid beats in battle, it gets so caught up in the rhythm that it won’t even notice that it’s already knocked out its opponent.
Thwackey can learn 60 moves:
