Upon visiting the [[Abundant Shrine]], the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus always fought each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and Enamorus would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it during winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo was revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{g|Dream Radar}}, they are known to inhabit their Therian Formes in the [[Interdream Zone]], changing form to suit their environment. [[Professor Burnet]] suspects they may have been born here. The name "Therian Forme" was also created by Professor Burnet.<ref>[[Pokémon Dream Radar]]: 'it changed its Forme to match its environment. I'll call this Forme... Therian Forme!"</ref>

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests uncertainty on whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.
 
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] theorizes that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature. Their Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas, while they assume their Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

Tornadus{{sup/6|OR}}/Thundurus{{sup/6|AS}} can be encountered in the {{DL|Mirage spot|Storm Clouds}} located near [[Fortree City]] if the player has a {{p|Castform}} in their party. Landorus can also be encountered in the Storm Clouds located near Fortree City as long as both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.
 
===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
The player can encounter the Forces of Nature in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]' Cliff World dimension by traveling through red warp holes in the [[Ultra Warp Ride]].

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]], the Forces of Nature are among the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that can be encountered in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s in the [[Max Lair]].

After the player completes the [[Pokédex]] entries for all three and reports back to Cogita, she reveals that there is a fourth member of the group, Enamorus, which she presents before it leaves. Enamorus can then be found in the [[Scarlet Bog]] (in any weather). After Enamorus's Pokédex entry is completed, Cogita rewards the player with the [[Reveal Glass]].
 
==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.
 
Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.
 
[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.
 
A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]], and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.
 
==In the manga==
[[File:Forces of Nature Therian Forme Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in their Therian Forme in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
Only Tornadus appeared in [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]], being {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Monta]] in ''[[PBW5|Let's Master Pokémon Capturing!]]'' in order to add his data to the [[Pokédex]].
 
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear, with {{adv|Black}} encountering him in [[Nimbasa City]] after defeating [[Elesa]]. Later, {{adv|White}} and [[Shauntal]] witnessed Thundurus and Tornadus clashing while aboard the [[Battle Subway]]. The clash was stopped by Landorus, but just as he was dragging Thundurus and Tornadus back into the skies, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]] were easily {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]]. The Forces of Nature were later used by the [[Shadow Triad]] to defeat the [[Gym Leader]]s defending the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by the [[Colress|Hood Man]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] during [[Team Plasma]]'s assault on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.
 
In the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}, Team Plasma gained access to the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature after acquiring the [[Reveal Glass]]. They were used by the Shadow Triad to battle {{adv|Blake}} at the [[Cold Storage]] and the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} near the [[Giant Chasm]]. After [[Kelden|Keldeo]] broke the Reveal Glass, the Forces of Nature were defeated, along with the Shadow Triad. Following this, the Forces of Nature escaped from Team Plasma's control and flew away.

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* In [[Generation V]], the Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally from right to left and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature cannot be traded.
* All of the Forces of Nature are weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially designed as red and blue demons, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also later redesigned to distance them further. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref name=LavaCutInterview>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
 
===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the Forces of Nature appear to be based on {{wp|kami|deities}} from Japanese mythology. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Tornadus is based on {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; Thundurus is based on {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and Landorus is based on a deity of the land,<ref name=LavaCutInterview/> perhaps specifically referring to {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of harvests. Enamorus appears to be based on {{wp|Ugajin}}, the kami of fertility. The Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}:<ref>Redacción Hobby Consolas (September 20, 2012). "[https://www.hobbyconsolas.com/reportajes/jamas-hubo-pokemon-como-kyurem-43611 Jamás hubo un Pokémon como Kyurem]." ''Hobby Consolas''. (Spanish)</ref> Tornadus represents the {{wp|Vermillion Bird}}, Thundurus represents the {{wp|Azure Dragon}}, Landorus represents the {{wp|White Tiger (mythology)|White Tiger}}, and Enamorus represents the {{wp|Black Tortoise}}.
 
The original trio may also be thought of as representing the different domains of the world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning).
 
Another inspiration for the quartet may also be four of the {{wp|Anemoi}} of Greek mythology combined with the four seasons. Thundurus may represent the south wind {{wp|Notus}}, who brings summer storms, and Tornadus the north wind {{wp|Boreas (god)|Boreas}}, who brings the winter. Enamorus may be a reference to the west wind {{wp|Zephyros}}, who is associated with flowers and spring and is sometimes a servant of the love god {{wp|Eros}}. Landorus may be based on the east wind {{wp|Eurus}}, who isn't directly connected to autumn, but is sometimes depicted with crops and sometimes said to bring dry winds (like Landorus' [[signature move]], {{m|Sandsear Storm}}), or the southeast wind Apeliotes, who is often depicted carrying fruit and grain.
 
The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnation. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.
