Tauros has a niche in RU as a strong wallbreaker because of its great Speed and Attack stats combined with its all-around perfect coverage and ability in Sheer Force. However, Tauros lacks the raw strength of other wallbreakers such as Mienshao, Heracross, and Obstagoon, and its low special bulk leaves it vulnerable to common special attackers like Noivern and Raikou. Close Combat hits targets that resist Tauros's powerful STAB Body Slam such as Cobalion, Registeel, and Stakataka. Rock Slide enables Tauros to catch Flying-types such as Togekiss, Noivern, and Talonflame while hitting Pokemon like Golisopod super effectively. Throat Chop hits Pokemon that are immune to Body Slam, such as Dhelmise, Golurk, and Doublade. Tauros has the option to run Earthquake to 2HKO Diancie and Neutralizing Gas Galarian Weezing, but it has no other notable targets that aren't already covered.
Like most wallbreakers, Tauros appreciates Spikes support from Roserade and Golisopod to limit its checks from switching in such as Cobalion and Milotic; Golisopod can also remove key items such as Leftovers, Heavy-Duty Boots, and Choice Scarf from Gastrodon, Togekiss, and Mienshao. Potent Fighting-types such as Choice Scarf Heracross and Mienshao pose as fierce revenge killers, so teammates such as Noivern and Togekiss are helpful. Additionally, Choice Scarf Xurkitree, Noivern, and Raikou can all force Tauros out, so special walls such as Assault Vest Reuniclus, Steelix, and Registeel are always helpful. Pivots such as Raikou, Noivern, and Zarude also serve as good teammates, as they provide free switches for Tauros. Raikou can also pressure bulky Water-types and cripple Tauros's switch-ins such as Gastrodon and Tangela with Toxic. In return, Tauros is able to weaken Grass- and Ground-types such as Vileplume, Seismitoad, and Steelix with Body Slam and Close Combat for Raikou.
