THE POKEMON COMPANYThe Legendary Thundurus is returning to Pokemon Go in its Therian Forme alongside fellow Forces of Nature, so learn the best movesets you can teach this mighty Gen 5 beast if you manage to catch one.
Niantic’s game is ending the Dual Destiny season with a Unova region celebration which includes a few events and the 2025 Go Tour, as well as many incredible Legendaries such as Thundurus appearing in 5-Star Raids.
The dual Electric/Flying-type Legendary will be featured for only one day along Landorus and Tornadus, so those lucky players who manage to catch one can check which are the ideal movesets to teach it.
Best moveset for PvP
The best moveset players can pick for Thundurus Therian Forme in Pokemon Go PvP consists of Volt Switch as a Fast Move and Wildbolt Storm as a Charged Move.
As a dual-type Pokemon, it would be ideal to use one move of each type, however, Thundurus has no Flying-type attacks yet, so players will have to focus only on the Electric ones.
Volt Switch is unquestionably the monster’s best Fast Move. The attack not only dishes out decent damage, but its ability to generate energy fast makes it a no-brainer.
This should always be paired off with Wildbolt Storm – Thundurus’ signature move – which is the Legendary’s cheapest Charged Move. Plus, it has a debuff that decreases the target’s Attack stat by 20%.
To expand a little bit Thundurus’ coverage, you can use Focus Blast as a secondary Charged Move.
THE POKEMON COMPANYBest moveset for Raids
Thundurus’ best moveset for Raid battles also has Volt Switch as the Fast Move and Wildbolt Storm as the Charged Move.
In Raids, it is always better to focus on one type when using dual-typing Pokemon. Because Thundurus doesn’t have any Flying-type attacks – as mentioned above – you’re only choice is to go full-on Electric.

Volt Switch is the only option among the Fast Moves. Still, it is a very solid choice, with STAB, decent damage, and a good synergy with the Charged Move.
Between all Charged Moves, Wildbolt Storm is the ultimate best. However, if you don’t have access to this move – because it requires an Elite TM – you can switch it to the very reliable 2-bar Thunderbolt.
