Trivia

• Tornelos is the first and so far only pure Flying-type Pokémon. However, other Pokémon were able to become pure Flying-types through their abilities, such as Kecleon and Arceus.
  • This makes it also the only purely typed Pokémon with a unique type combination.
• Tornelos and Voltolos have the exact same base stats.
• Tornelos is also the only Generation V legendary Pokémon with only one type.
• When Tornelos appears on Route 7, Voltolos's cry is heard.
• Tornelos shares the same species name with Erufuun; they are both known as the Whirlwind Pokémon.
  • Curiously, both of them cannot learn the move of the same name

Origin

Tornelos is based on Fūjin, the kami of wind.

Name origin

The name Tornelos is from トルネード, tornado.
