Appearances

Anime

BW062

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 Pokemon Dream Radar, Tornadus appears as one of the legendary Pokemon 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 the first pure Flying type Pokémon in the National Pokédex.
    • He is one of seven Pokémon that have Flying as one of its types but not have it as a secondary type.


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' name is a combination of the English words "tornado" and possibly the end of "Enceladus," who was a giant in Roman and Greek mythology.
