Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus in Arceus Pokémon Legends: How to get them?

Here are the requirements and steps to follow to find and capture the trio of Legendary Pokémon Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in Pokémon Arceus Legends and how to change their forms.

Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus are a trio of fifth-generation Legendary Pokemon that together form the “Forces of Nature” and are present in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, available to capture and register in Hisui’s Pokédex. In this installment, as is often the case, these three legendaries can only be caught in the post-game of the title and have a unique method of obtaining them if we want to get hold of them.

Next, in this entry of our complete guide, we will show you the requirements to find and capture Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in your Pokémon Arceus Legends game.

Prerequisites to be able to get Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus

To capture Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus in Arceus Pokémon Legends, you must previously know several important notes about these legendaries and the requirements to meet to find them in Hisui.

To find Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus, you must have previously captured Dialga and Palkia, so you must have already watched the end credits of the game’s main story.
After this, you should also be far enough through the post-game quests to complete quest #26, “In Search of the Rest of the Tablets,” in which you defeat Volo and Giratina in combat.
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus will now be able to appear when you activate request #94, “Hisui’s Avatars.” You will be allowed to capture them in different areas of the world.

Therefore, and in short: only once you have defeated Giratina on the top of Mount Corona, as part of mission number 26, will you be able to unlock the last of the secondary requests, number 94, which is precisely the one that he asks to find and capture Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus (as well as the new Enamorus ).

To unlock request 94, you must talk to Metis in the Galaxia Headquarters building in Villa Jubileo (once you meet the above requirements). There the woman will tell you about the existence of these Pokémon that embody elements of nature. With the request already active in your journal, Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus will start spawning in different places in Hisui. We’ll show you where each one is below.

Note: It is worth mentioning that Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus can never come out in their shiny version (they have shiny locked in this game).

Where to find and capture Thundurus?

Thundurus is the Flying and Electric-type Pokémon of the Forces of Nature trio. Once you activate request 94 in your diary, you can find it in the following way:

Thundurus appears in his Avatar form in the Cobalt Coast area, in the sea zone near Sand Hand and Silent Bay (you need to surf on Basculegion to go after him).
You will only see it in this area if the weather is Thunderstorm.
Be careful because he will attack you with powerful eddies of wind when he sees you, and they can weaken you if you don’t dodge them in time.
A wind barrier also protects the Pokémon. You have to throw several Poké Balls at him to stun him and make the barrier disappear; only then can you capture or engage in combat against him.
If you decide to go into combat against Thundurus, keep in mind that he is at level 70.

If the weather is not correct, remember that you can travel to Villa Jubileo and return to the area to vary it until it is the one you need, the one with the thunderstorm. You will be able to identify that this is the weather on the map view when choosing the travel area by looking at the icon next to the area’s name (the thunderstorm icon is a cloud with lightning).

Where to find and capture Landorus?

Landorus is the Flying and Ground-type Pokémon of the Forces of Nature trio. Once you activate request 94 in your diary, you can find it in the following way:

Landorus appears in his Avatar form in the Obsidian Meadow area of Hansa Island.
You can find it here without any certain weather conditions.
Be careful because he will attack you with powerful eddies of wind when he sees you, and they can weaken you if you don’t dodge them in time.
A wind barrier also protects the Pokémon. You have to throw several Poké Balls at him to stun him and make the barrier disappear; only then can you capture or engage in combat against him.
If you decide to go into combat against Landorus, keep in mind that he is at level 70.

Where to find and capture Tornadus?

Tornadus is the Flying-type Pokémon of the Forces of Nature trio. Once you activate request 94 in your diary, you can find it in the following way:

Tornadus appears in his Avatar form in the Tundra Alba zone, in the Algente Wasteland.
You will only see it in this area if the weather is Blizzard.
Be careful because he will attack you with powerful eddies of wind when he sees you, and they can weaken you if you don’t dodge them in time.
A wind barrier also protects the Pokémon. You have to throw several Poké Balls at him to stun him and make the barrier disappear; only then can you capture or engage in combat against him.
If you decide to go into combat against Tornadus, keep in mind that he is at level 70.

If the weather is not correct, remember that you can travel to Villa Jubileo and return to the area to vary it until it is the one you need, the one from the snowstorm. You will be able to identify that this is the weather in the map view when choosing the area of travel by looking at the icon next to the name of the area (the one for a blizzard is snowflakes with a gust of wind).

How do we change the forms of Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus?

Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus are Legendary Pokémon that can change between two different forms, their Avatar form and their Totem form (their types do not change, only their aesthetics). By default, all three Pokémon are caught in their Avatar form, so you may wonder how you can change them to their Totem form.

The way to change the forms of Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus is by using the Mirror of Truth essential item. However, to get the Mirror of Truth, you must complete quest 94.

This means that in addition to capturing the legendary trio, you also have to do the following :

After catching Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus, you must increase your Pokédex tokens to level 10 (this can be done quickly by having the Pokémon each use their signature attack 4 times in battle).
When you do, return to Metis in the Hidden Village, and she will ask you to capture Enamorus (you can find him in the Crimson Swamp Vermilion Marsh).
After that, you will also have to increase the Enamorus token in the Pokédex to level 10 progress.

Finally, with all this done, you can return to Metis to finish request number 94 and be rewarded with the True Mirror. Now you just have to use this item with Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus to switch between their two forms as many times as you want.
