So, here is everything you need to battle and capture Therian Forme Tornadus in Pokémon GO.

BothBlack KyuremandWhite Kyuremare actually the best counters for this Raid. However, as they are not rolled out to all Trainers yet we have left them off the list. Those of you who headed to an in-person Unova Tour event can get a jump start on these Raids by using either, or both, of these new fusion forms.

For the majority of us who don’t have Black or White Kyurem, there are still a lot of good options to use. Galarian Darmanitan can be snagged from 7 km Eggs, and is a good counter for all the Therian Formes in Raids today so is worth the investment. Then, Mamoswine and Rhyperior are also avaliable all season long. Dusk Mane Necrozma featured in the recent Necrozma Fusion Raid Day, and Therian Forme Thundurus is in Raids today too.

Xurkitree is a really strong counter to use. That was last avaliable during Pokémon GO Fest 2024 - so not too long ago.
