ovl_En_M_Thunder is the actor used to create the spin attack effect.

The ROM addresses for the spin attacks, and the spin attack tube, in the debug rom/ntsc 1.0 retail cartridge have 5 locations and they all seem to be located in Ovl_En_M_Thunder:

Spin Attack Notes

0xE55F96/0xE55FB6 and 0xC9D7B1/0xC9D7CD are the locations for both parts of the orange spin attack. 0xE5609A/0xE560BA and 0xC9D8B5/C9D8D1 are the locations for both parts of the blue spin attack. Lastily, 0xE5641A/0xC9DC25 are the locations for the spin attack tube. This gives us about 10 options to choose from (just as a side note there are more):

In the above table when you go to the offsets mentioned earlier, in a hex editing program, you'll see the values displayed in 2 bytes as represented in this table.

At E560A6/E560BE (Debug Rom) and C9D8BA/C9D8D6 (NTSC) the two values are 2570/2690 (Debug Rom) and 2A10/2B30 (NTSC) and at E55FA2/E55FBA (Debug Rom) and C9D7B6/C9D7D2 (NTSC) the two values are 2AF0/2C10 (Debug Rom) and 2F90/30B0 (NTSC), which correlate to the appearance of the gameplay_keep display lists at 12570/12A10, 12690/12B30, 12AF0/12F90, and 12C10/130B0. Another thing is that at E5641E (Debug ROM) and C9DC2A (NTSC) The Spin Attack Tube display list (located at 13610 (Debug Rom)/13AB0 (NTSC) in gameplay_keep) can be modified at those locations.
