From the context, these are probably direct translations of the Pokemon names:
Donnerschock (note spelling) = thunder shock
Donnerblitz = thunder flash
Schaufler = shoveler, digger
None of these are regular German words.

Hallo Misko,
The context is missing. So I have to guess:
- Shock cause by thunder
- Lightning and Thunder (if written like „[…] im Donnerblitz […]“ it might be something very fast and unexpected)
- Schaufler could be a person that is eating very fast, as if he/she should’ve better used a shovel to supply the ammounts
But: context is missing
