[SET COMMENTS]
Thundurus-T makes for a potential setup sweeper on Flying teams thanks to its access to Agility, high Special Attack stat, and great coverage. Hidden Power Ice forms a great BoltBeam combination with Thunderbolt, threatening Ground-types such as the Landorus formes, Gliscor, and Garchomp, with the removal of the former two allowing it to sweep Flying teams late-game. Grass Knot handles certain Ground-types better than Hidden Power Ice such as Great Tusk, Gastrodon, and physically defensive Ting-Lu. Agility allows Thundurus-T to outspeed and threaten normally faster threats such as Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and rain-boosted Mega Swampert. Gigavolt Havoc allows Thundurus-T to immediately remove bulky threats such as Rotom-W, Hatterene, and Mega Gallade, as well as hindrances to its sweep like specially defensive Celesteela, Toxapex, and Ogerpon-W. Gliscor and Landorus make for great partners, as they alleviate pressure from Thundurus-T and cover the Electric matchup as well as set up entry hazards. Additionally, Gliscor provides pivoting via U-turn and removes items such as Heavy-Duty Boots from Dragonite and Zapdos so Thundurus-T has an easier time against them, while Landorus's coverage allows it to cover threats such as Mega Charizard X, Tyranitar, and Tapu Bulu. Entry hazard removal in Corviknight and Mantine is appreciated by Thundurus-T due to its vulnerability to Stealth Rock. Additionally, Corviknight along with Celesteela handle Fairy- and Rock-types for it like Tapu Bulu, Mega Diancie, and Iron Boulder. Early-game wallbreakers such as Tornadus-T and Mega Charizard Y complement Thundurus-T, as they remove walls that Thundurus-T struggles with such as Mega Venusaur and Ferrothorn. In return, they appreciate Thundurus-T's Electric immunity. Choice Scarf Enamorus provides great speed control, with it potentially being able to sweep through Dragon and Dark teams without a proper answer to it; and it also provides Healing Wish support to potentially re-enable a sweep from Thundurus-T. In return, it handles Steel-types for it like Corviknight and Mega Scizor. Thundurus-T's ability to threaten walls such as Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Ting-Lu can also enable other sweepers like Dragonite, Mega Aerodactyl, and Galarian Moltres to start a sweep of their own.

Thundurus-T makes for a potential setup sweeper on Flying teams thanks to its access to Agility, high Special Attack stat, and great coverage. Furthermore, an amazing ability in Volt Absorb makes it a great asset in the Electric matchup. Hidden Power Ice forms a great BoltBeam combination with Thunderbolt, threatening Ground-types such as the Landorus formes, Gliscor, and Garchomp (this allows Thundy to clean opposing Flying teams late-game). Grass Knot handles certain Ground-types better than Hidden Power Ice such as Great Tusk, Gastrodon, and physically defensive Ting-Lu, as well as Rock-types like Garganacl (meow main gripe here is that thundy sort of sucks into Rock [and ground, because Excadrill is stinky], I think you dont need to mention this anymore. Its more for bullying Rain Water w/o Barraskewda, it just ends the match straight up at +2. That thought should probably be placed somewhere). Agility allows Thundurus-T to outspeed and threaten normally faster threats such as Iron Valiant and Enamorus (also M.Pert under rain). Gigavolt Havoc allows Thundurus-T to immediately remove bulky threats such as Rotom-W, Hatterene, and Mega Gallade (immediately offs Toxapex, Oger-W, Spdef celes which lets Thund sweep unimpeded). Gliscor and Landorus make for great partners, as they alleviate pressure from Thundurus-T and assist it in the Electric matchup (those two carry the matchup, thund doesnt do anything there) as well as set up entry hazards. Additionally, Gliscor removes items such as Heavy-Duty Boots from Dragonite and Zapdos so Thundurus-T has an easier time against them, while Landorus's coverage allows it to cover threats such as Mega Charizard X, Tyranitar, and Breloom. Entry hazard removal in Corviknight and Mantine is appreciated by Thundurus-T due to its vulnerability to Stealth Rock. Additionally, Corviknight along with Celesteela handle Fairy- and Rock-types for it like Tapu Bulu, Mega Diancie, and Iron Boulder. Early-game wallbreakers such as Tornadus-T and Mega Charizard Y are appreciated by Thundurus-T, as they remove walls that Thundurus-T struggles with such as Mega Venusaur, Ferrothorn, and Amoonguss (unused). In return, they appreciate Thundurus-T's Electric immunity. Choice Scarf Enamorus provides great speed control, with it potentially being able to sweep through Dragon and Dark teams without a proper answer to it. In return, Thundurus-T handles Steel-types for it like Corviknight and Mega Scizor.
