UNOVA PREVIEW

THUNDURUS
Welcome back, Trainers! It's time to see how Thundurus will likely perform in Pokémon GO.

INCARNATE

  • CATEGORY: Bolt Strike Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: THUN-duh-rus
  • TYPE: Electric / Flying
  • HEIGHT: 4' 11"
  • WEIGHT: 134.5 lbs.
Picture

ATTACK:  266

DEFENSE:  164

STAMINA:  188

MAX  CP:  3345

PLACE IN THE META: Thundurus is, essentially, a better version of Zapdos. It sacrifices some Defense and Stamina in favor of a higher Attack stat. Thundurus is definitely a Pokémon you'll want to be looking out for.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Thundurus:
  • Bite
  • Thunder Shock
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Thundurus:
  • Dark Pulse
  • ​Focus Blast
  • Thunderbolt
  • Wild Charge

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Thundurus' movepool:
  • Fly
  • Hammer Arm
  • Sky Drop

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Thundurus gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.

THERIAN

  • CATEGORY: Bolt Strike Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: THUN-duh-rus
  • TYPE: Electric / Flying
  • HEIGHT: 9' 10"
  • WEIGHT: 134.5 lbs.
Picture

ATTACK:  295

DEFENSE:  161

STAMINA:  188

MAX  CP:  3659

PLACE IN THE META: Therian Thundurus has the potential to be the game's new best Electric-type attacker. Yes, it could beat out Incarnate Thundurus, Raikou, Electivire, and even Zekrom.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! Reshiram is up next.
