Do you want real lightning strikes as a trail, or a particle effect?

 

For a particle effect, you could use try this:

1. When creating a new Mob, there is a Particles section. You can choose the 'Particle spawning shape', but if you want it as a trail, the 'Top' one should work (This will probably only work if your mob is above 1 block tall). Fill in the other options and see if it works!

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a mob tick event, so there's not a super easy way to do this - there may be something in the Global Events you could try, but that may require some variables and a little more messing around with. :P

 

Hope this helped!

P.S - If you want you could also change the shape of the particle spawning to another shape - and you may get the result you're looking for (If it's a tall mob, you could try the 'Tube' shape!)

I was also looking for the closest effect to lightning - and 'FIREWORKS_SPARK' might be your best option. :)
