Tornadus

Description

Released in 2013 as part of the Legendary Treasures expansion, this Pokémon TCG card showcases the legendary Pokémon Tornadus. Identified by card number 108, the release is classified as a Holo Rare, distinguished by its shimmering finish that appeals to collectors seeking visually distinct additions to their portfolios. The artist behind this illustration is Miki Tanaka, whose work defines the visual identity of this entry within the series. From a gameplay perspective, Tornadus is a Basic Pokémon with 110 HP and a Colorless typing. Its design encourages strategic energy management through two distinct attacks. The first, Colorless Energy Wheel, allows players to move Energy from one of their Benched Pokémon to this one, facilitating rapid power buildup. The second attack, Hurricane, deals 80 damage but requires moving a basic Energy from Tornadus to the bench, creating a dynamic risk-reward mechanic that challenges players to balance offense with resource conservation. With a retreat cost of only one Energy, this card remains mobile and versatile in many team compositions. The card’s Pokédex number is 641, and its flavor text notes that its lower body is wrapped in a cloud of energy, capable of zooming through the sky at 200 mph. These details provide context for fans who appreciate the lore behind the creatures they collect. Whether you are building a themed deck around legendary Pokémon or seeking a high-quality Holo Rare for your collection, this card offers both aesthetic and mechanical value.
