PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Gust benefits from STAB and suits Tornadus's role as a Flying-type attacker.
  • Astonish has no use.
  • Bleakwind Storm, Tornadus's signature move, is its best available option
  • Hurricane is mediocre, but can be used if Bleakwind Storm is unavailable.
  • Psychic is okay if no Charge TMs are available. 
  • Heat Wave and Focus Blast have no use. 

PVE Overview

Tornadus Therian Forme is actually the weaker version of its Incarnate Forme, unlike Landorus and Thundurus. Having access to Bleakwind Storm does give it an edge over its Incarnate counterpart, however (at least for the time being). With this move, Tornadus Therian Forme isn't too shabby as a Flying attacker choice, though it remains outclassed by many.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Gust + Bleakwind Storm* and Focus Blast

Gust hits hard with STAB, and provides decent energy gains. Astonish is astonishingly mediocre.

Bleakwind Storm is Tornadus-T's cheapest Charged Attack and provides a useful guaranteed Attack debuff. Focus Blast is extremely expensive, but it provides situational coverage against Steel-, Rock-, and Electric-type Pokemon. Hurricane is largely redundant because Gust and Bleakwind Storm already provide good STAB Flying-type damage. Heat Wave is a poor move. Psychic is a rather underwhelming attack and provides inconsequential coverage.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: N/A

Tornadus Therian can't compete in Great League due to its high CP, but future events may potentially provide alternative ways to obtain Tornadus at a lower level. 

Ultra League: 2 / 5

Tornadus Therian has better stats for a CP-capped league than its Incarnate Forme, thanks to a lesser ATK stat that results in greater bulk. Access to Gust instead of Air Slash also improves its damage output significantly, making this variant the better performer of the two. Unfortunately its slow charge moves are the biggest reason for its poor performance, and Flying typing and coverage aren't particularly valuable in a meta that's dominated by Giratina, Steel-types, and other powerful contenders. Not even Bleakwind Storm saves it.

Master League: 1 / 5

Access to Gust is a perk for the Therian Forme that helps to offset the worse ATK stats compared to its Incarnate variant, and greater DEF stats gives it the edge in bulk. Unfortuantely with very cumbersome charge move options this Pokemon isn't gonna be blowing anyone away anytime soon.
