El Nino reduces the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic Basin primarily due to increased wind shear, which tends to tear the storms apart before they can really develop. In the Pacific, there is usually more activity, but it is focused further to the east in the Western Pacific, not moving west of Korea and Japan as much.
