The Forces of Nature trio of Legendary characters continue their rotation in Pokémon GO with the return of Incarnate Forme Tornadus along with the two others. This Flying-type character has been around pretty recently, but players always love shiny hunting these Legendaries. So here’s our Pokémon GO Incarnate Forme Tornadus raid guide giving you the best counters in April and May 2021.
The Best Incarnate Forme Tornadus Counters in April and May 2021
Starting off with the very best Incarnate Forme Tornadus countes, we break down more specific info in the full raid guide down below. But if you want to jump right into battle all you need is a solid team. So here’s our picks for the best Incarnate Forme Tornadus counters in Pokémon GO for April and May 2021 (excluding Shadow and Mega Pokémon, see below).
| Pokémon | Fast Attack | Charged Attack |
| Zekrom | Charge Beam | Wild Charge |
| Thundurus (Therian) | Volt Switch | Thunderbolt |
| Rampardos | Smack Down | Rock Slide |
| Magnezone | Spark | Wild Charge |
| Rhyperior | Smack Down | Rock Wrecker |
| Raikou | Volt Switch | Wild Charge |
| Zapdos | Thunder Shock | Thunderbolt |
Most players should have some of the above, but for the more hardcore out there you may wonder what the best Mega and Shadow Tornadus counters are. Mega Manectric with Charge Beam and Wild Charge is your best option, with Mega Ampharos with Volt Switch and Zap Cannon as a solid backup. Shadow Raikou, Zapdos, Magnezone, and Electivire with the above moves are great choises along with Shadow Mamoswine with Powder Snow and Avalanche and Shadow Tyranitar with Smack Down and Stone Edge. Just be ready for them to take more damage as they deal more of their own.

Incarnate Forme Tornadus will begin showing up in raids alongside Thundurus and Landorus on Tuesday, April 27th at 10am in your local time. We currently don’t have an end date for their availability, so expect to see them for a while.
