Thundurus-T's high base Special Attack and good offensive typing threatens super effective damage on many common defensive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Buzzwole. Thunder Cage and Aeroblast are its STAB moves of choice, with the former trapping the opponent and dealing residual damage, while the latter boasts a high Base Power. Thunderbolt is an option that offers move consistency than Thunder Cage, and Toxic can be run over Aeroblast to better hit Tyranitar and opposing Thundurus. Focus Blast hits the ever-present Tyranitar, which can often otherwise switch in freely, and hits Blissey and defensive Steel-types, like Ferrothorn and Heatran. Nasty Plot is another good option, allowing Thundurus-T to break through defensive checks. Roost allows Thundurus-T to stay healthy over the course of a game, letting it switch into weak moves like U-turn from Tornadus-T and act as a check to Zeraora. Thundurus-T appreciates defensive partners such as Ferrothorn and Mudsdale, as it is forced out by many common Pokemon such as Aerodactyl, Terrakion, and Latios. Strong physical attackers such as Buzzwole also make good partners, as they threaten Pokemon like Blissey and Tyranitar for Thundurus-T. Thundurus-T can also opt to invest EVs in HP and Defense to better check Pokemon such as Rillaboom and Excadrill. An alternate spread of 252 HP / 92 Def / 164 Spe with a Bold nature can be used to better check Rillaboom and Excadrill while still outspeeding Heatran.
