The Pokémon Company Gives Tips for Pokémon GO Therian Forme Tornadus Raid
Gotta Raid 'em All!
Today, The Pokémon Company released some battle tips to aid Pokémon GO trainers in their quest to catch the Flying-type, Legendary Pokémon Therian Forme Tornadus.
First, the guide recommends that you utilize a Pokemon with Electric-, Ice-, and Rock-type attacks. The guide also recommends that these type of attacks align with your Pokémon’s Fast Attack and Charged Attack. “It’s not necessary to choose only Electric-, Ice-, or Rock-type Pokémon, but a Pokémon that shares a type with these attacks will benefit from a same-type attack bonus, which will allow these attacks to deal an additional 20% damage.” As always, if you have multiple of these type of Pokémon, choose the Pokémon that has the highest CP and stats.
The Pokémon Company also recommended that you utilize these Electric-type, Ice-type, and Rock-type Pokémon to increase your chances of success:
