Known as the Cyclone Pokemon, Tornauds is a Flying-type legendary Pokemon introduced in Generation V. While being a Legendary, meaning it has no evolutionary family, Tornadus does have an alternative form known as its “Therian Forme.” Its original form is known as the “Incarnate Forme.”

Tornadus is a muscular, human-like Pokemon that resembles a Genie. Tornadus is a male-only species with no female species to counterpart, which is very interesting.

In Pokemon, GO Tornadus can be obtained in either form. Tornadus has an Attack stat of 266, a Defense stat of 164, and a Stamina stat of 188. This means that Tornadus is incredibly strong during battle.
