Trivia

• Tornadus is the only mono-type member of the Forces of Nature.
• Its Therian Forme is the mystery silhouette in the AR searcher app picture.
• In Pokémon Dream Radar, Tornadus appears as one of the legendary Pokémon of the game, but, unlike the rest of the Kami Trio, is encountered twice. The first time is when the player completes a research for the first time, where Tornadus appears to the player, but cannot be battled, as Tornadus flies away. The second time is when the player opens up the extension. This time, Tornadus is battleable.
• Tornadus was the first pure flying type Pokémon and was the only one in existence until the introduction of Rookidee and Corvisquire in Generation VIII.

Origin

Tornadus is based on Fūjin, a god of wind in Japan. It, alongside the other Forces of Nature, resembles a genie.

Its Therian Forme is based on the Vermilion Bird from the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology.

Etymology

Tornadus and its Japanese name, Torunerosu, come from tornado and Aeolus, a Greek wind god.
