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. |
X Omega Ruby | The lower half of its body is wrapped in a cloud of energy. It zooms through the sky at 200 mph. |
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. |
