Talk:Tornadus (Pokémon)

What happens when he roosts? PikaNinja7 16:43, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

From what I've heard, he becomes Normal-type. --Andy^P_K^M_N 21:23, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Except he can't learn Roost. More than likely this was made since because the ???-type was removed in Gen V, and previously when a pure Flying-type Pokemon used Roost, it became ???. Maybe it would need to be tested though, hacking Roost onto a Sky Plate Arceus, or onto Tornelos - and then noting the result. That is if the game doesn't crash.

Why is Tornelos' picture not showing up in the infobox?

I've cleared the history and the cookies on Opera, but it's still not showing Tornelos' picture in the infobox. And the same thing is happening on the file, too. Could someone fix this?

There is no way to fix this except to wait. The Archives server and Bulbapedia's server don't always sync up on time, hence the image not appearing right away on the BP side. —♥ Jello^talk 22:18, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Official source. Tornadus is based on a Fūjin.

The source is Nintendo Dream vol.205. Sawamular101 02:23, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Either of these may be a name source for Tornadus...

I think Tornadus' name either comes from the cloud types cirrus or nimbostratus.
~~LDEJRuff~~ 20:55, 15 April, 2011 (EDT)

Um... I doubt that. Every one of the Kami Trio's names end in -us, and the beginning of Tornadus's name very clearly comes from Tornado. Sharing the last two letters does not a name origin make. --Andy^P_K^M_N (talk) 11:03, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Respawn after beating Elite Four

I've read on a few sites that if fainted, Tornadus/Thundurus will respawn again after you beat Elite Four again, can anyone confirm that this is the case? IPeer 16:41, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, just like every legendary since Platinum. Blazios 16:45, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Roost

Should we note that hacked Tornadus's type becomes Normal when he uses Roost as evident in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQI-khPHGtg&feature=sub ? Toadstool 16:28, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Hall of Fame

When your party Pokemon are entered into the Unova Hall of Fame, each Pokemon is shown with a background based on their primary type. So would Tornadus be the only Pokemon to have the Flying-type background? Or can Sky Forme Arceus also have this? XVuvuzela2010X 06:39, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Encounter Frequency?

This is a big..weird one. The rain will come in a place...route 3..or route 2. For me at least. But once it starts rianing, it will often make me fight normal fights, which eventually cancel the rain. I have some proof that running back and forth through buildings, or onto different routes, will make the rain reappear...Does anyone know about a way to predict this outcome? Cause its rather maddening, and I think its valuable information to those who have less free time than me! PowerPlantRaichu 13:06, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

That happens to me too. You can't expect Tornadus to just fly to us when he flees when we catch up to him, anyway. --☆ヨッシ ー の世界☆ 13:12, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Sprite Trivia

Considering what we know about Tornadus's original design being red according to the interview in Nintendo Dream with Ken Sugimori, should we make a triva note about it, which would also explain his mini sprite being redish instead of purple? The Frostbite Dragon 23:47, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
