Tornadus (トルネロス, Tornelos) is a species of Pokémon in the series of the same name. It is a Flying legendary Pokémon that made its first appearance in the fifth generation games Black and White. Its one of the Forces of Nature along with Thundurus, Landorus and Enamorus.

Origin

In Incarnate Forme, Tornadus is based on Fūjin, the kami of wind. It may also have drawn some inspiration from Jinn. In Therian Forme, Tornadus is based on the Vermilion Bird.

Pokémon 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.

Trivia

• Tornadus is the first pure Flying-type Pokémon.
  • Due to being a pure Flying-type, Tornadus is the only Pokémon that can have the Flying-type backdrop in the Hall of Fame after defeating the Pokémon League in Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. This backdrop will always reflect the Pokémon's primary type, but all half-Flying-type Pokémon had Flying as their secondary type.
  • Tornadus is the only member of the Forces of Nature to be a single-type Pokémon.
• When Tornadus appears on Route 7 in Pokémon Black, Thundurus's cry is heard.
• In an interview with Nintendo Dream, Ken Sugimori revealed that Tornadus was originally intended to be colored red, to pair with Thundurus's blue. Tornadus's color was changed because the pair ended up looking too similar to Throh and Sawk.
