It is one of the Forces of Nature, alongside Thundurus and Landorus, and is unique among them as the only pure Flying-type. Tornadus is a male-only species and does not evolve, though it has a Therian Forme that changes its appearance and base stats. In its Incarnate Forme, as depicted on this card, Tornadus resembles a muscular, green-skinned genie-like figure with a purple lower body perpetually wreathed in a cloud of wind. Its diet is unknown, but its behavior is characterized by its powerful wind-generating abilities, often causing storms and natural disasters. Tornadus typically resides high in the atmosphere, soaring through the skies. As a Flying-type, it is susceptible to Electric, Ice, and Rock-type attacks, while being resistant to Fighting, Bug, and Grass-type moves, and immune to Ground-type attacks in the main series games. In the anime, Tornadus has been featured in episodes showcasing its destructive power and its role in maintaining natural balance with its counterparts. Its design is inspired by Fūjin, the Japanese god of wind, giving it a distinct cultural resonance.
