• Thundurus (anime)

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.
• Although Thundurus is a Flying type Pokémon, it doesn't learn any moves of this type through leveling up.
• Thundurus's species happens to be one of Zekrom's signature moves, Bolt Strike. However, Thundurus can not learn this move.
• 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 Pokémon.
  • This is due to Bolt Strike being exclusive to Zekrom.

Origin

Thundurdus is based on Raijin, a god of thunder in Japan. It, alongside the other Forces of Nature, resembles a genie.

Its Therian Forme is based on the Azure Dragon from the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology.

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.
