A new legendary Pokémon lands in Pokémon GO. And he does it, how could it be otherwise, through legendary raids. But do you know Thundurus? Would you know how to deal with it? Obviously it is an electric-flying type Pokémon, but here we have compiled some information that will come in handy if you decide to put on your shoes and go in search of this legendary one. Do not lose detail.
Where and when to find Thudurus
The first thing you should be clear about is that you have to look for legendary raids.That is, those valued with five stars. Or, if it's easier for you, look for those Pokémon gyms over which a black egg flies over When the timer for this egg reaches zero you will have a limited time to get the Pokémon that appears in its place, which will be none other than Thundurus.
Of course, it may not be the only Pokémon to appear in a legendary raid. So you should be attentive to the being that appears over the gym on duty once the raid is raised.
Thundurus, the Electric and Flying-type Twinkle Pokémon, will be joining us soon.
Starting today at 1:00 p.m. PST (4 p.m. Peru).
Good luck getting the perfect one! ?PokemonGo PokemonGoApp pic.twitter.com/wX3Yd7gOHM

It is the first time that Thundurus comes to Pokémon GO, and it does so in an exclusive and limited way.That is why it will only be present in these raids from next March 2 Niantic has not put an end to this event, but everything indicates that it will be active during the rest of the month of March to give the bravest players the option to expand their pokédex with this being. And now yes, let's get to the important thing: how to get hold of it.
How to defeat Thundurus
Knowing that Thundurus is an electric and flying type Pokémon already gives us several clues as to what this Pokémon is like. Both for the attacks it is capable of launching, such as a Thunder Shock or an Impress, as well as for the types of attacks to which it is vulnerable: specifically to the ice type and rock typeBut let's dig a little deeper.
You may run into Thundurus under two circumstances to consider. The first is to have good weather. If so, the legendary Pokémon will appear at level 20, which means that it will have a power of around 1828 and 1911 points.Of course, if the weather is rainy, as it usually is in March, Thundurus will be boosted up to his level 25, with CP reaching 2389 So you'll need a team of maximum level Pokémon trainers of between 2 and 4 people, depending on the situation. Of course it is an ideal, since not all trainers have a good friendship or the best level, so the more you are, the better.
It has also been estimated that his life points are around 15,000, and he has fighting statistics that put his attack at 221 points and defense at 141. In other words, he is quite combative, but well accompanied you have options to get hold of him. Of course, its capture rate is around 2%,so don't despair if you don't get it the first time.
Before starting the battle, it is a good idea to have a good selection of Pokémon ready. Considering what Thundurus' weaknesses are, it's a good idea to arm yourself with the following equipment:
- Rampardos with anti-aircraft and avalanche attacks
- Rhyperior with anti-aircraft and rockbreaker attacks
- Mamoswine with attacks of powder snow and avalanche
- Terrakion with anti-aircraft and avalanche attacks
- Tyranitar with anti-aircraft attacks and sharp rock
- Glaceon with Frost Mist and Avalanche attacks
Of course, other Rock- and Ice-type Pokémon can be highly effective. The higher your level, the better. You can also use Weavile, Mewtwo, Regigigas, Gigalith, Jynx and/or Golem Recommendations taken from the PokeBattler raid calculator to try to find the best possible strategy against Thundurus.
