Thundurus and Tornadus originally appeared in Pokemon Black and White. Much like the legendary dogs in Pokemon Gold, Silver, and Crystal, these Pokemon travel around the world, bringing frenetic weather patterns with them until you can ultimately catch them. Catching them this time around won’t be quite as difficult. From July 6 to 22, you can receive Thundurus or Tornadus by simply selecting the Mystery Gift option from the main menu if you're in the UK. If you have a North American copy of the game, you can receive codes for these rare monsters at Target from July 13 - 28 before accessing them via Mystery Gift. You can find all of the details in the video above or visit the event’s official site.
