Thundurus-T (M) @ Life Orb
Trait: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Agility

IMO this is one of the better sets. With the modest nature and life orb, there is really no need for Nasty Plot or specs because it still puts out a ton of damage, meaning stall is hard pressed to find a solid answer to this with focus blast doing 37% - 43% to chansey. On the flip side, this set just decimates offense. If you can manage to set up an agility (which really isn't that hard to do considering decent bulk and good ability) this thing can pretty much OHKO most offensive teams with little repercussions, resisting common priority such as mach punch and bullet punch. With the three moves it has perfect neutral coverage (missing out on shedinja of course) meaning anything that switches in will take a huge hit. (Sorry for the poor post quality btw, I was pretty tired when I wrote this)
