[SET COMMENTS]

Assault Vest Tornadus-T is a very important pivot in the metagame, making use of its high Speed and Knock Off to help force progress against opposing teams and U-turn to pivot out on switch-ins like Zapdos and Rotom-W while remaining healthy with Regenerator. Assault Vest helps Tornadus-T sponge powerful special attacks from threats like Latios, Greninja, and Hydrapple. 168 Speed EVs and a Timid nature allow it to outspeed base 110 Speed Pokemon like Latios and Ogerpon-C, while 208 HP and 132 Special Defense EVs give it a good chance to withstand Choice Specs Latios's Draco Meteor from full HP, even if Assault Vest is removed. Hurricane is an option over Bleakwind Storm that can OHKO Kommo-o after Stealth Rock damage if one wants to sacrifice accuracy for power. Heat Wave provides coverage for Steel-types like Scizor, Excadrill, and Tinkaton, while Focus Blast is less accurate but is more powerful and hits Rock-types like Tyranitar and Hisuian Arcanine. Tera Steel allows Tornadus-T to more easily switch into Latios and Hydrapple, helps it sponge hits from Ogerpon-C, and gives it a resistance to Stealth Rock. Tera Electric allows Tornadus-T to switch into Flying-types like Zapdos and opposing Tornadus-T while protecting it from Zapdos's Static. However, it is important to note that using these Tera types makes Tornadus-T weak to Ground and susceptible to Spikes, so Terastallization generally shouldn't be used unless needed.

Assault Vest Tornadus-T fits on both offense and balance teams, utilizing its ability to force progress and its high Speed to help wear down the opposing team and bring in its teammates. However, having an Assault Vest means that it is susceptible to Stealth Rock damage, and thus, it appreciates having teammates that can remove entry hazards like Excadrill and Mandibuzz. It also appreciates other pivots like Zapdos and Lokix to help it switch in and out more to heal as well as additional Regenerator Pokemon for it to switch into like Hydrapple and Slowking. These Regenerator pivots make it easier for Tornadus-T to make use of its own Regenerator while also helping answer offensive threats it cannot handle like Rhyperior or Hisuian Arcanine. Hydrapple, as well as other Grass-types like Zarude and Sinistcha, also provides a second Ground-resistant team member should Tornadus-T be forced to Terastallize. Tornadus-T also appreciates Ground-types that can absorb Volt Switch from Zapdos such as Rhyperior, Hippowdon, and Sandy Shocks. Tornadus-T can be paired alongside fast offensive threats like Ogerpon to provide a team two fast progress-makers that can overwhelm defensive Pokemon like Hydrapple, Zapdos, and opposing Tornadus-T, and it also fits well alongside wallbreakers such as Mamoswine and Latios, which appreciate its ability to pivot them in.

Hurricane is an option over Bleakwind Storm if one wants to give up some accuracy for more power. (Move this up so the moves are mentioned in the order listed on the set) Tera Steel allows Tornadus-Therian to more easily switch into Latios and Hydrapple while also helping it sponge hits from Ogerpon-C and giving it a resist to Stealth Rock, while Tera Electric on the other hand allows it to switch into Flying types like Zapdos and opposing Tornadus-T.

Hydrapple, as well as other Grass-types like Zarude (Would also mention TealPon here), also provides a second Ground resist should Tornadus-T be forced to use Tera. It also appreciates Ground-types that can absorb Volt Switches from Zapdos such as Rhyperior, Hippowdon, or Sandy Shocks. It can be paired alongside fast offensive threats like Ogerpon to provide a team two fast progress makers that can overwhelm defensive Pokemon like Hydrapple, Zapdos, or opposing Tornadus-T, while also fitting well alongside breakers such as Mamoswine or Latios who appreciate its ability to pivot them in.

Tweaked to replace tealpon with sinistcha in the part about secondary ground resists, as you usually arent sending tealpon directly into attacks.

Just figured id point this out to avoid confusion

Grammar checked by:

- The "base" in "base [stat]" is not capitalized.
- I'd specify "from full HP" rather than using the shortened "from full".
- The "rock" in "Stealth Rock" wasn't capitalized in the Hurricane Sentence
- In the sentence about Grass-type teammates, "a second Ground-resistant teammate" doesn't really work because Tornadus-T is the first one, and its not its own teammate. I would've also kept the part that specified there are other good Grass-type teammates than just the three examples.

Heat Wave provides coverage for Steel-types like Scizor, Excadrill, and Tinkaton, while Focus Blast is less accurate but is more powerful and also hits Rock-types like Tyranitar and Hisuian Arcanine Arcanine-Hisui. Tera Steel allows Tornadus-Therian to more easily switch into Latios and Hydrapple while also helping,(comma) helps it sponge hits from Ogerpon-C,(comma) and giving gives it a resistance to Stealth Rock.(period), while Tera Electric allows it Tornadus-T to switch into Flying-types(add hyphen) like Zapdos and opposing Tornadus-T while protecting it from Zapdos's Static.

Grammar checked by:

- The "base" in "base [stat]" is not capitalized.
- I'd specify "from full HP" rather than using the shortened "from full".
- The "rock" in "Stealth Rock" wasn't capitalized in the Hurricane Sentence
- In the sentence about Grass-type teammates, "a second Ground-resistant teammate" doesn't really work because Tornadus-T is the first one, and its not its own teammate. I would've also kept the part that specified there are other good Grass-type teammates than just the three examples.

1/1 GP Team done
Credit adorluigi too
