Tornadus is the current Tier 5 legendary raid boss in Pokemon Go. It will be available in raids untilWednesday, January 17th, 2024 at 10:00 am local time.
Tornadus has two forms in Pokemon Go – the Incarnate and the Therian forms. The current available form for Tornadus is the Therian form, which is arguably the weaker of its forms, but this Pokemon is still worth getting your hands on if you can! While the Incarnate has a betterAttackstat, Therian Tornadus is still a decentWind-typePokemon to add to your arsenal.
You can encounter Tornadus in the followingCP ranges:
It is available in both normal and shiny forms! If you are lucky, you may catch a shiny!
The typing for this raid is pretty straightforward. Tornadus is aFlying-typePokemon, it does not have any other typings. This makes it weak toElectric-, Ice-,andRock-typemoves. you’re able to use a lot of the same Pokemon you will want to use for the Hisuian Typhlosion raids coming up, so focus on boosting up yourRock-typesif you plan on doing that raid.
Luckily, we also just had aXurkitree, Mega Ampharos,andZekromraid within the last month. If you were able to get any of those, you will already have some strong Pokemon against Tornadus.

Hisuian Typhlosion raids will be available from Sunday, January 14th from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm local time.
Being aWind-typePokemon, Tornadus isweather boostedbyWindyweather. This will raise its maximumCPto give you shots at finding stronger Tornadus during this raid season, so it is worth it if you may get a decent team together duringWindy weatherto do so.
Therian Tornadus has a slightly bulkier defensive pool, so it will take you around5-7 Trainersto take this guy down quickly. you’re able to do this raids with a smaller team, though. If you utilizeparty bonusand have high-level Pokemon amongst all members of your party, you can still tackle these raids with3 Trainers. Any less than that will get dicey.
Recommended Teams
As with our other guides, these Pokemon are just a list of the possible Pokemon you can bring with you on your adventures. They are the best Pokemon to have for Therian Tornadus, so please consider these options while making your teams.
If you haveShadowforms of any of the Pokemon above, bring those. They are stronger attackers than their regular counterparts so they are worth it to boost up and teach new charged attacks to.
