    Another legendary Pokemon has returned to Pokemon Go for a limited time. Therian Forme Tornadus is appearing in five-star raids until Mar. 22, giving you another chance to catch this version of the legendary Pokemon if you’ve previously missed it. Here are some tips to help you beat and capture Tornadus before it leaves the game again.
    Tornadus raid schedule
    Therian Forme Tornadus will be appearing in five-star raids from Mar. 15 to Mar. 22. Your best chance to catch the legendary Pokemon will happen tomorrow, Mar. 16, during Pokemon Go’s weekly Raid Hour event. More five-star raids will be occurring at gyms from 6 to 7 p.m. local time that evening, making it much easier to challenge Tornadus.
    Tornadus weaknesses
    Regardless of which form it takes, Tornadus is a pure flying-type Pokemon, which means it’s vulnerable to electric, rock and ice types. Any Pokemon of those types will have an advantage over Tornadus in battle, but be sure to avoid using grass, bug and fighting Pokemon, as they’ll take super-effective damage from Tornadus’ attacks.
    Best Tornadus counters
    Here are some recommended Pokemon and moves to use when battling Tornadus:
    Electric

  • Zapdos:?Thunder Shock, Thunderbolt
  • Raikou:?Thunder Shock, Wild Charge

Best moveset for Tornadus
    Therian Forme Tornadus has a different move pool than Incarnate Forme, so you’ll need to teach the legendary Pokemon different attacks depending on which form you have. Therian Forme Tornadus will deal the most damage if you teach it the Fast Attack Gust and the Charged Attack Hurricane, while Incarnate Forme Tornadus should instead know Air Slash and Grass Knot.
    There’s a lot happening in Pokemon Go this month, including the Festival of Colors celebration and the Alola-inspired Lush Jungle event. You can catch up on everything going on in the game in our March events roundup.
