Therian Tornadus' Best Stats
This meansspecial physical attacks rather than physical attacks will always be Therian Tornadus' fortein Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Both stats are high, and many other powerful moves such as the physical dark-type Dark Pulse or even Giga Impact can be learned for a price from Zisu at the Training Grounds in Jubilife Village. Still, the latterrequires an entire turn to recharge and would nullify the great help Therian Tornadus can provide with its highest base stat—speed—improved significantly over that of itsIncarnate Forme.
Other purchased moves such as Psychic or Hyper Beam are powerful special moves and can be considered alternative options, but both have noticeably low PP and they do not take advantage of the STAB. You may find a great use for Therian Tornadus in providing excellent coverage to get you through Hisui quickly and efficiently, over a longer amount of time and with much PP to spare.
Tornadus is a part of the legendary Generation V trio, including Thundurus and Landorus, and can be foundduring the post-game only after getting the Reveal Glass from Cogitaand completing the Pokédex entry for Enamorus. Touch Tornadus with the glass any time, and it will change between Forms. Therian Tornadus' power is high, especially as a legendary Pokémon, and would be a great choice to strengthen your party while building out your Pokédex. Be sure to also take advantage of itsbest nature, which adds a further 10 percent attack increase.
