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.
  • His Therian Forme is the mystery silhouette in the AR searcher app picture.
  • While Tornadus has a gender, he cannot breed because he 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.
  • He is one of three pure Flying-type Pokémon, the other two being Rookidee and Corvisquire.

Origin

Tornadus resembles a Djinn. His Therian form resembles a bird. His powers and relationship with Thundurus indicate that he's also based on Fūjin, the Shinto god of wind and rival of Raijin/Raiden.

Etymology

Tornadus and Torunerosu come from "tornado" and Aeolus, a Greek wind god.
