Appearances[]

Anime[]

BW062

The Kami Trio in the anime

Thundurus and its brothers appeared in Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 1) and Stopping the Rage of Legends! (Part 2). It appeared in its Therian form in Unrest at the Nursery!.

Trivia[]

  • Thundurus is the third electric/flying type Pokémon, the others being Zapdos and Emolga.
    • Coincidentally, Zapdos and Thundurus are both part of legendary Trios.
  • Although Thundurus is a Flying type Pokémon, it doesn't learn any moves of this type through leveling up.
  • Thundurus's species happens to be one of Zekrom's signature moves, Bolt Strike. However, Thundurus can not learn this move.
  • Thundurus, Zapdos, Zekrom and Raikou all have something in common.
    • All of them are part of a Legendary trio.
    • All of them are electric type Pokémon.
    • All of them are Legendary Pokémon.
    • This is due to Bolt Strike being exclusive to Zekrom.

Origin[]

Thundurdus is based on Raijin, a god of thunder in Japan. It, alongside the other Forces of Nature, resembles a genie.

Its Therian Forme is based on the Azure Dragon from the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology.

Etymology[]

Thundurus is a portmanteau of thunderous and possibly Aeolus, a Greek wind god.

Borutorosu likely comes from either volt (the SI unit of electrical potential) or bolt (as in a thunderbolt) and Aeolus.
