Thundurus (M) @ Leftovers / Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Taunt
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice] / Hidden Power [Flying]
Role: Check
Thundurus flexes his stallbreaker muscles here. Like the Serperior set mentioned previously by Recreant, Taunt puts the brakes on this particular Suicune set. Since Suicune is relatively weak unboosted, Thundurus can even come in on Scald in a pinch. He can then set up his own Nasty Plot, overwhelming Calm Mind, without fear of Roar, and do heavy damage back. If running Life Orb, Thunderbolt even has a chance to OHKO with hazard support.
252 SpA Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Suicune: 254-302 (62.8 - 74.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Life Orb Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Suicune: 330-393 (81.6 - 97.2%) -- 62.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
0 SpA Suicune Scald vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Thundurus: 96-114 (32.1 - 38.1%) -- 94.6% chance to 3HKO
