Pokédex entries
Incarnate Forme
| Black | Countless charred remains mar the landscape of places through which Thundurus has passed. |
|---|---|
| White | The spikes on its tail discharge immense bolts of lightning. It flies around the Unova region firing off lightning bolts. |
| Black 2 White 2 |
As it flies around, it shoots lightning all over the place and causes forest fires. It is therefore disliked. |
| X Omega Ruby |
The spikes on its tail discharge immense bolts of lightning. It flies around the Unova region firing off lightning bolts. |
| Y Alpha Sapphire |
As it flies around, it shoots lightning all over the place and causes forest fires. It is therefore disliked. |
| Legends: Arceus | They say this wielder of electricity has waged war with its nemesis, Tornadus, since time immemorial. The lightning bolts it hurls pierce the very earth and enrich the soil. |
Therian Forme
| Legends: Arceus | Quick as a flash, it materializes out of nowhere. It pulverizes foes into nothingness with showers of devastatingly powerful lightning bolts launched from the string of orbs on its tail. |
