Pokemon Go: Tornadus Raid Counters (Season of Legends)
Tornadus is one of the required Pokemon for the Season of Legends in Pokemon Go. This guide will show players the best raid counters for this Pokemon. Currently, the Season of Legends is the main event happening in Pokemon Go. During this time, the main focus is on the 3 legendary genie Pokemon from the Unova region. In Pokemon Black and White, players would occasionally run into this Pokemon in the wild while exploring the region. While wandering Pokemon have been a staple in the series since Pokemon Gold and Silver with Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, the three genies each have their own strengths and weaknesses. This guide will provide a list of Pokemon to bring along for the Tornadus raid battle.
During the Season of Legends, the game provided additional Special Research Tasks for players to complete. These act at the game's "story mode" and provide the player with tasks that they need to complete. For each stage of the task, the player will need to capture a snapshot of all three genie Pokemon individually. In order to do that, they will need to capture them first. Players can also trade for this Pokemon from another trainer but it will cost tons of Stardusts to complete the transaction. Here are the best Pokemon to bring along for the Tornadus raid battle.
Tornadus is a mono Flying-type Pokemon, meaning it has tons of weaknesses to exploit. Bringing along a Pokemon with Rock, Electric, or Ice-type moves is the best thing to do. Here are some of the best Pokemon to bring along.
- Zekrom: Charge Beam and Wild Charge
- Rampardos: SmackDown and Rock Slide
- Mega Ampharos: Volt Switch and Zap Cannon
- Mega Abomanow: Powder Snow and Weather Ball
- Magnezone: Spark and Wild Charge
- Electivire: Thunder Shock and Wild Charge
When facing off against Tornadus, make sure to wait for a lobby of at least 5 other players before the battle begins. This is a 5-star raid, making it very difficult to complete without at least 5 other players. Also, the more players involved, the faster Tornadus will faint and the game will reward the player with more Premier Balls for their speed.
When actually capturing it, make sure to use Golden Razz Berries after every throw. Not only that but wait until it finishes its attack animation before throwing the ball. There is nothing worst than wasting a perfect good Poke Ball.
Pokemon Go is available now on iOS and Android.
