Appearances

Anime

The Kami Trio in the anime

Tornadus and its brothers appeared in Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1 and Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2.

Trivia

  • In the Djinn trio, Tornadus is the only one who is not a dual type Pokémon.
  • Its Therian Forme is the mystery silhouette in the AR searcher app picture.
  • While Tornadus has a gender, it cannot breed because it is still a legendary.
  • 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 previously the only pure flying type Pokémon until the introduction of Rookidee and Corvisquire in Generation VIII.

Origin

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

Its Therian Forme resembles a bird, most likely an eagle. It may also be based off of the Vermillion Bird from the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology.

Etymology

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