Appearances

Anime

The Kami Trio in the anime

Thundurus and its brothers appeared in Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 1) and Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 2). It appeared in its Therian form in Unrest at the Nursery!.

Trivia

  • Thundurus is the third Electric/Flying-type Pokémon, the others being Zapdos and Emolga.
  • Coincidentally, Zapdos and Thundurus are both part of legendary Trios and have the same types.
  • Thundurus resembles Raijin, god of lightning, thunder and storms in the Shinto religion and in Japanese mythology.
  • Thundurus's species happens to be one of Zekrom's signature moves, Bolt Strike.
  • He is said to be the only thing to make an entire lap around the Unova region in a day, but the player also can do this.
  • Thundurus, Zapdos, Zekrom and Raikou all have something in common.
    • All of them are part of a legendary trio.
    • All of them are Electric-type Pokémon.
    • All of them are legendary.
  • Thundurus's name is a misspelling of the word "thunderous". The choosing of this name is possibly due to the end of his name having to match Landorus and Tornadus' and when he uses lightning, thunder accompanies it due to hot air particles brushing against cold.
  • Despite Thundurus being the Bolt Strike Pokémon, he cannot learn the move Bolt Strike.
  • Thundurus is the only one of the Djinn trio to not have his Therian forme resemble a creature in reality (Landorus looks like a cat, Tornadus looks like a bird).
  • While Thundurus has a gender, he still cannot breed because it is a legendary Pokémon.

Origin

  • Thundurus's appearance resembles a Djinn. He is likely based on Raijin (also called Raiden), the Shintō god of lightning and rival of Fūjin. His Therian form resembles a dragon.

Etymology

Thundurus is a portmanteau of "thunderous" and possibly Aeolus, a Greek wind god.

Borutorosu likely comes from either "volt" (the SI unit of electrical potential) or "bolt" (as in a thunderbolt) and Aeolus.
