The Therian Forme of the Pokemon Thundurus

Last Updated on: 27th June 2022, 07:12 pm

Therian Forme Thundurus is coming to Pokemon Go, soon. As a matter of fact, in the next week no less.

As it turns out the season of legends intends to go on with how it started, we’re cycling through all the Incarnate forme forces of nature and now we’re moving on to the Therian versions.

When will Therian Thundurus be added?

Therian Thundurus is expected to be added to Pokemon Go raids on March 16th at 10:00 AM local time and should stick around for quite a while – potentially 2 weeks until the 30th of march at 10:00 am local time again according to Leekduck.

It’s worth noting that Leekduck is rarely wrong in my experience, though dates and durations are far more likely to be incorrect than the broad strokes such as the new Pokemon itself being added.

Fighting Therian Thundurus

What moves can Therian Thundurus learn?

As far as we know right now, the set of moves and typings of Therian Thundurus will be the same as his Incarnate forme on Pokemon Go.

I wouldn’t be entirely surprised if it got one new move or so, but it’ll likely remain something like this.

Fast Attacks:

  • Astonish
  • Thunder Shock

Charged Attacks:

  • Brick Break
  • Crunch
  • Thunder
  • Thunder Punch

What types are effective?

This is even more likely to be unchanged from Incarnate Thundurus than his moves are, as his typings do not seem to change in other titles in this alternative form at all.

This means sticking with Rock and Ice types to fight him again. So staple Pokemon like Tyranitar and Rhyperior will perform well, alongside strong ice attackers like Glaceon, Weavile and Articuno.

Be careful relying on Ground/Rock types too much, as the brick break move will annihilate them if you don’t use dodge each time.

Best of luck in advance with fighting Therian Thundurus trainers! If the look of those typings is anything to go by, he’s going to be a bit of a pain to fight.
