Pokédex entries

Incarnate Forme

Black The lower half of its body is wrapped in a cloud of energy. It zooms through the sky at 200 mph.
White Tornadus expels massive energy from its tail, causing severe storms. Its power is great enough to blow houses away.
Black 2
White 2
In every direction it flies, creating winds so powerful, they blow everything away.

Omega Ruby

Y
Alpha Sapphire
Tornadus expels massive energy from its tail, causing severe storms. Its power is great enough to blow houses away.
Legends: Arceus This storm-stirring Pokémon is said to cause the seasons to turn by whipping up the air. I suspect its humanlike form to be a false one.

Therian Forme

Legends: Arceus An example of what is known as a “form change,” though I suspect this strange avian guise to be Tornadus’s true form. Tornadus has been sighted crossing the ocean while in this form.
