Thundurus (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

'''Thundurus''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボルトロス''' ''Voltolos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

Its Therian Forme was officially revealed on May 12, 2012.

Along with {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}, it is a part of the [[Forces of Nature]].

==Biology==

In Incarnate Forme, Thundurus is a blue, muscular humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, which resembles a genie. It is a male-only species with no female counterpart. On its head is a single, long, sharp, purple horn. Thundurus has white, zigzagging, and jutting-styled hair, a spiky white mustache, and two pointed blue ears on either side of its head. Its eyes are yellow with beady white irises and no visible pupils. The front of Thundurus's body is covered in various, irregularly shaped purple spots. Its broad chest consists of two joined diamond-shaped pectorals, its shoulders and elbows are adorned with {{wp|magatama}} shapes, and on top of its navel is a teardrop, all colored purple. It has two spotted muscular arms, with five fingers on each hand. Its lower body consists of a trailing cloud, with a thick, long, curling, purple, cable-like tail. Thundurus has six ball-like structures its tail goes through at intervals, like knots in a cord. They are a dark gray color, and each has a long, sharp spike on one side.

Thundurus is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Wildbolt Storm}}.
