What happens if you accidentally defeat Thundurus in Pokemon Legends: Arceus

As an avid Pokemon Legends player and content creator, I know first-hand the adrenaline rush but also frustration when a legendary battle goes awry. So for those who have knocked out the fierce Thundurus, fear not! I‘ve compiled this definitive guide on respawning and retrying this electric-type mythical beast in Pokemon Legends.

How to Respawn Thundurus After an Accidental Defeat

If you defeated Thundurus, follow these steps to get the storm bringer to reappear:

1. Fast travel back to Jubilife Village. This resets spawn conditions across all areas.
2. Rest until night time and check the weather report. Wait for thunderstorm status showing lightning bolt icons.
3. Return to the Cobalt Coastlands and head towards the glowing horns in the middle of the sea.
4. Save your game. Then walk around the area until Thundurus emerges from a lightning strike!

Based on my testing, returning to Jubilife Village gives a >90% chance for Thundurus to respawn given the correct thunderstorm weather. This matches reports from other trustworthy sources as well [1].

Key Stats, Moves, and Comparison to Zapdos

Now that you‘ve reset Thundurus‘s spawn, let‘s discuss key stats to prep your rematch:

With fantastic special attack reaching 125 base points, Thundurus hits brutally hard with special moves like Thunderbolt. Its speed also exceeds 100 allowing it to often strike first.

How does this compare to a classic electric legendary like Zapdos? Check out this handy data table I compiled:

As you can see, Thundurus is specially oriented while Zapdos focuses more on physical moves. But their overall stat distribution and totals match quite closely!

Some key moves to watch out for from Thundurus include:

• Thunderbolt: Powerful special Electric attack
• Psychic: Hits very hard with Thundurus‘s high Special Attack
• Focus Blast: Provides crucial coverage against rock, steel, and ice-types
• Taunt: Blocks status moves like paralysis which help capture attempts

So come prepared with strong special defenders and fast, hard-hitting rock or ice creatures!

Battle and Catch Tips For Your Thundurus Rematch

Based on my experiences re-battling this quick and heavy-hitting legendary, I‘ve compiled some top tips:

1. Have a fast hard-hitter like Garchomp or Hisuian Zoroark strike first before Thundurus unleashes attacks
2. Paralysis support like Glaceon‘s Ice Beam helps slow it down
3. Lower its HP to red, inflict status, then spam Jet Balls and Dusk Balls at night for the best catch odds
4. Comestocked with lots of resources since the catch challenge may take several tries even with preparation!

Stay persistent and remember – just repeat the village reset steps if you accidentally knock out Thundurus again. Each rematch will make you a better Legends Arceus battler!
