Trivia
- Tornadus is the only member of its trio whose Therian Forme is not immune to Electric-type attacks in normal battle conditions.
- It is also the only one that can have a weakness to Electric-type attacks in standard battle conditions.
- Tornadus is the only single-type Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
- 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 red.
- In Black 2 and White 2, Tornadus's Therian Forme had the same shape as its Incarnate Forme.
Origin
In Incarnate Forme, Tornadus is based on Fūjin, the kami of wind.[1] It may also have drawn some inspiration from genies.
In Therian Forme, Tornadus seems to be based on a bird of prey, most likely an eagle, vulture, or other large avian species. It may also draw inspiration from the Vermilion Bird of the Chinese Four Symbols constellation; from Huītzilōpōchtli, a god from the Aztec mythology that resembles a hummingbird; or from Garuda, a mythical birdlike creature with both zoomorphic and anthropomorphic features.
Name origin
Tornadus and Tornelos may be a combination of tornado and Aeolus (ruler of the winds in Greek mythology).
