To catch them, defeat all 8 gym leaders, then go to a route with a thunderstorm and encounter them in the grass. You can find a route with a thunderstorm by looking at the bulletin board at a route gate and seeing which route there is a thunderstorm at. They run away when you encounter them, so have a Pokémon with Mean Look or the Shadow Tag ability to prevent them from running away.

You can trade by going to the top floor of a Pokémon Center and talking to one of the women there to initiate a trade.

Question

How do I get Tornadus?

Community Answer

To get Tornadus, you must go to the house east of Celestial Tower, and an old woman will come out and invite you inside of her home. (This will only happen after you have beaten the 8th gym leader and gone inside of the tunnel to the north of Opelucid City.) The old lady will tell you about Thundurus and Landorus, and then when you go outside, head to the east. You will have a short encounter with Thundurus in Pokemon White, or Tornadus in Pokemon Black. Then, if you head to one of the tunnels in the Unova region, it will say there is a big storm on one of the many routes. Note that the legendary will flee after the first turn, but will keep the same health and status conditions (such as burn).

No. Celebi and Deoxys had not been invented when Yellow came out.

Tips

Have Pokémon with moves that inflict status effects such as Sleep and Paralysis. Status effects will make it easier to catch them.

Stock up on plenty of Ultra Balls and Timer Balls. Timer Balls are useful if the battle goes on for a long time. You'll also want to stock up on Dusk Balls if you're playing at night.

Save before battling. If you accidentally faint it or run out of Poké Balls, you can restart the game and try again.
