Tornadus is a Pokemon Black only pokemon that can only be caught later in the game.
After you collect all eight badges, go to Route 7 and you’ll encounter a woman that mentions something about strange weather there. Head to the Celestial Tower and you will be taken into a house and told a story about what’s going on. Once you come out, you’ll see Tornadus fly onto the screen and then fly off.
Once this happens, you’ll be able to find Tornadus in Unova. Look in any route in Unova in the tall grass while the weather is storming violently.

To keep tornadus/thundurus from fleeing, teach one of your Pokemon (it has to be faster than tornadus/thundurus) mean look and use it on the first turn. That way it won’t flee and you don’t have to chase after it after one turn.

Heres what I did I caught a pokemon with Mean Look, Upped its speed, Used mean look on it, and had my eelektross paralyze it with thunder wave. I had bought alot of ultra balls, and just lowered his HP and used enough to catch it
Harish May 16, 2012 at 6:42 am
Well, it’s even more easier to thunderwave it and then false swipe it. Then after it escapes, get hold of it again and use quickball.

quincy March 3, 2012 at 4:18 pm
im trying to catch tornadous but and cant find him i got a landorous cause i got the other two by trading i looked on almost every route but no storm is happening im getting super mad right not can someone please help me
Jaymz May 7, 2012 at 6:22 pm
Try looking at the electric bulletin boards in the places before crossing into another route. Sometimes it will say what route has an unusual storm. Plus you looked at every route. At certain times of the day Tornadus will be in a different route.
amy February 23, 2012 at 8:29 pm
ive used quick balls and timer balls and it doesnt work and he runs away. >_< ive mastered finding him but i cant catch him
btw i used scary face with Cofagrigus and he leaves after that
Professor Oak August 3, 2012 at 4:09 pm
It flees after 1 turn so it is best to lower it’s hp enough to catch it, and then use a quick ball every time you meet it.
James February 16, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Catching Tornadus is hard, but I belive if you lower his hp very close to 0, it becomes very easy. I tried it and was able to catch him in a premier ball on my first try.
DarknessRiku September 12, 2011 at 4:24 am
Okay…Imm STILL friggin trying to catch Tornadus. I’ve used Quick Balls, Ultra Balls, Timer Balls, Nest Balls, and even more!!! Ive even Weakend it down to 1 h.p. IT STILL ESCAPES!!! WTF!!! HELPPPPP pwease???! (e.e) btw, what happens to Zekrom after you defeat N ? Just curious..
Emily September 5, 2011 at 11:51 am
Guys you just read the billboards he is not always in the same place. Wherever it says there are storms is where he is..
Virizion 69 July 3, 2011 at 3:59 pm
Use quick balllllllz
leadsinger007 June 15, 2011 at 9:38 am
All I did was simply level up my voltik then get eight badges…reteach him spiderweb….use thunderwave to paralyze him and voila! Yes it took about 30 ultra balls and a few turn offs bc if u switch out its over. =)
Kj June 16, 2011 at 4:46 pm
1) buy some quick balls
2) fly to nimbasa city in the evening
3) exit out the city to the left and save your game in the billboard room
4) exit to route 5. if it isn’t storming go back in and exit back out until it is
5) when its storming run up into the grass patch until you encounter him
6) throw a quick ball
7) repeat steps 4-6 until he’s caught
Note: I caught him on my 3rd try. It took about 5 or 6 enters/exits each time to make the storm appear. The whole process took about 10 minutes, maybe less. I imagine some people will be much less lucky with the quick balls but keep at it. My gf caught zekrom on her first try with one!

JUST TELL ME HOW TO CATCH TORNADUS!!!! ps… MY RESHIRAM IS LEVEL 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AmberH June 13, 2011 at 5:57 pm
Seriously, use a Woboffet. It has the ability to Trap pokwmon in battle so it cannot flee. -_-

Thundurus is the 1 thts in pokemon black not tornadus!! How do u get tornadus? Or is he in white? Cause I’m tryn to get landorus
tray May 10, 2011 at 11:53 am
Wait! Ur right my bad! But still if they in different games tht means u hve to trade. In order to get landorus ths pretty gay! Well in tht case how do u get the third dog looking pokemon idk his name I have both cobalion and terrakion
deadjs May 12, 2011 at 3:45 pm
to find virizion u go to pin wheel forest and look for a new path its not in that forest its to the right EASTERNmost forest area u go into a dark area where the trees like goo something like this _–_ and then u can get virizion there
deadjs May 12, 2011 at 3:39 pm
dude tornadus is in pokemon black and thundorus is in pokemon white …. also got any clue how i can catch him i used all the pokeballs i have (pokeball ultra quick great repeat and timer ball all have failed even when he is asleep he runs)
Gerian May 6, 2011 at 8:24 am
BUT.. you can’t catch him, cause when you attack him or something he immediatly flees, wich is so annoying.. I tried using my best pokeballs in the beginning but he breaks free all the time.!
TheDizle May 6, 2011 at 8:49 am
Yes you can, you just have to figure out how. There are plenty of pokemon with moves to put him to sleep, to keep him from fleeing, etc. Mean look, false swipe, and plenty more will help you tremendously.
deadjs May 12, 2011 at 3:40 pm
DUDE i put him to sleep and he still got away seriously how can i catch him
Harish May 16, 2012 at 6:45 am
better than sleep just Paralyze it and then false swipe it.Let it escape then.Then head to the next rout by looking at the Storm warnin on the billboard.Use Quick balls
Big D June 1, 2011 at 12:44 pm
Use your masterball on thundurus or tornadus and an ultra ball on landorus because he is stationary
TheDizle April 25, 2011 at 2:00 am

It tells you where he is on the electronic billboards between towns (it’ll say theres some strange storm going on at route__)
Ben April 2, 2011 at 2:31 pm

deadjs May 12, 2011 at 3:41 pm
