Pokédex entries by game

Descriptions recorded in these games. This list does not establish where the Pokémon can be caught or transferred.

Black · X · Omega Ruby

The lower half of its body is wrapped in a cloud of energy. It zooms through the sky at 200 mph.

White · Y · Alpha Sapphire

Tornadus expels massive energy from its tail, causing severe storms. Its power is great enough to blow houses away.

Black 2 · White 2

In every direction it flies, creating winds so powerful, they blow everything away.

Legends Arceus

This storm-stirring Pokémon is said to cause the seasons to turn by whipping up the air. I suspect its humanlike form to be a false one.
