I started playing Pokémon in the second generation (Gold and Silver) so I was never one of those people who were told stories about the elusive Pikachu in Viridian forest, but over the generations Electric Pokémon have come to be known as the glass canon type, they can do a huge amount of damage but take a huge amount of damage in return. They're generally quite fast as well, and no Electric Pokémon epitomises this more than the legendary Thundurus.
Thundurus is unique in the fact that it has two different forms that perform drastically different jobs. It's regular forme, the Incarnate form, is a speedy status setter with Thunder Wave and his ability Prankster (gives priority to non-damaging moves), and can be an incredible special sweeper with Nasty Plot, which harshly increases his Sp. Atk. His Therian forme however is a potent stall- and wall-breaker, with massive Sp. Atk straight off the bat with an expansive movepool and, whilst less than his regular forme, a blazing 101 Speed stat by the standards of the current meta-game. His Incarnate forme also flies around on a cloud, whilst being buff as hell, how awesome is that? For all of these reasons combined, Thundurus is my favourite Electric type.
