This totally works. You only need to craft 1 and keep picking it up. Must land standing up as OP said.

It helps to have at least two in your inventory, because if you only have one, you have to keep re-selecting the item each time. Also, did anyone actually use the lightning rod in the game? Odd to have an achievement based on a tool you may never otherwise use. Thanks for the solution!

Be careful where you try it. Mine kept getting stuck in the floor and couldn't be picked up. Best advice. Go in the middle of one of the rainbow roads. That seems to be "ground" level and the most reliable solid. I finally got it this way.

Refining a bit on the comment from ElDylto1612 Craft 2 so you'll always have one selected in your quick inventory after throwing one down. If you throw both you'll have to pick them both up again and re-select it by pressing down on the D-pad.

Find a corner in the safehouse and stand 45 degrees facing it. Since Ollie throws them out horizontally it'll bounce off the one wall and be mostly standing when it hits the ground. Find the right distance to stand, then you should just be pressing RT to throw it, wait for the noise that it has engaged, then press X to pick it up again. Repeat 25 times

Here is the quickest way to earn this achievement:

Construct 1 Lightning Rod.
Head to the nearest safe zone.
Deposit all of your gadgets in to the stash so that only the lightnng rod remains.
Stay in your safe house
Now to ensure that when you throw the lightning rod stands upright, hold in cn_RT to aim and then throw when the red arrrow appears, this way it always stands up.
once it has landed upright immediately pick it up and as there are no other gadgets in your inventory you can immediately select it again with cn_LB and repeat the process without having to go through your whole inventory.

RInse and repeat 25 times. Without ever needing to leave your safe house.

You do not have to electrocute anybody. IT APPEARS THE ACHIEVEMENT IS SIMPLY FOR DEPLOYING A LIGHTNING ROD 25 TIMES.

Lightning rods are a tool in Ollie's equipment stash. To unlock this achievement Ollie must deploy lightning rods 25 times.

To unlock the achievement quickly, there will be a lightning rod in the opening train station roof. Pick up the rod, throw it, pick it up again, throw it again, repeat until victory.

It is very difficult to collect so many ingredients for 25 lightning rods. I tried it on one lightning rod, because it can be lifted and thrown again.
