Known for its mastery over wind, Tornadus is typically depicted in its Incarnate Forme, resembling a green, muscular genie-like figure with a long purple tail that ends in a cloud. Its Therian Forme, introduced later, gives it a more avian appearance. In the Pokémon world, Tornadus is often associated with storms and adverse weather, traveling across regions on gusts of wind. It’s said that when Tornadus and Thundurus clash, violent thunderstorms erupt. Its diet and specific habitat are not extensively detailed, but it is understood to be a nomadic Pokémon that frequents various environments where it can harness the power of the wind. In the games, Tornadus is an exclusive encounter in Pokémon Black, often appearing as a roaming Pokémon after the player has defeated the Elite Four. Its role in the anime often involves its interactions with the other Forces of Nature, highlighting its destructive yet sometimes protective nature over natural phenomena. Tornadus represents the raw, untamed power of the wind, making it a significant figure in the lore of the Unova region.
