Thundurus (Therian Forme)'s Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Thundurus (Therian Forme) PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Thundurus Therian boasts a high ATK stat of 295, giving it an edge over several other Electric types in DPS. Its access to the incredibly powerful Wildbolt Storm (signature move) is another advantage, placing it just behind Xurkitree in damage output (excluding Megas and Shadows). ⚡⚡

That said, Thundurus Therian is quite fragile, so frequent dodging is necessary to maximize its performance. 👀

💎 Best PvE moveset: Volt Switch, Wildbolt Storm

⚔️ Raids

A top-tier Electric-type DPS pick, Thundurus Therian is undoubtedly strong in the meta. When battling Water-type Raid Bosses, be cautious of Ice-type attacks, as this Pokémon won’t withstand them well. ‼️

🛡️ Gyms

Legendaries can't be placed in Pokémon GO Gyms.

Thundurus (Therian Forme) PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

Thundurus Therian just doesn’t fit in the Great League and is terrible in the Ultra League. In the Master League, it’s also not a top pick, but it does secure significant wins against Yveltal, Togekiss, Melmetal, Ho-Oh, Zacian (Hero), Xerneas, and Kyogre.

For a more reliable Electric-type option, go with Zekrom instead. 🌩️
