Therian Thundurus' Best Stats
This meansspecial attacks rather than physical attacks will always be Therian Thundurus' fortein Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Both stats are incredibly high, and many other powerful moves such as the physical electric-type Wild Charge or even Giga Impact can be learned for a price. Still, the latterrequires an entire turn to recharge and would nullify any help Therian Landorus can provide with its already lowered speed base stat from itsIncarnate Forme.
Other purchased moves such as Psychic or Hyper Beam are powerful special moves and can be considered alternative options, but both have noticeably low PP and they do not take advantage of the STAB. You may find a great use for Therian Thundurus in providing excellent coverage to get you through Hisui quickly and efficiently, over a longer amount of time and with PP to spare.
Thundurus is a part of the legendary Generation V trio, including Tornadus and Landorus, and can be foundduring the post-game only after getting the Reveal Glass from Cogitaand completing the Pokédex entry for Enamorus. Touch Thundurus with the glass any time, and it will change between Formes. Therian Thundurus' power is high, especially as a legendary Pokémon, and would be a great choice to strengthen your party while building out your Pokédex. Be sure to also take advantage of itsbest nature, which adds a further 10 percent attack increase.
