Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Thunderbolt

think it as torn t, knock off support, u-turn but unlike torn, has solid breaking power with bolt beam and an electric immunity
 
Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 30 Atk
- Discharge
- Volt Switch
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Blast

Choice Scarf Thundurus-T for a fast option able to punish weakened teams with base 145 SpA Discharges, or as a surprise answer to targets like Garchomp with Hidden Power Ice, which would otherwise outspeed and kill with Z-Stone Edge. Volt Switch will be the preferred option throughout the game to build up damage and keep momentum, but bear in mind Stealth Rocks eat this set alive. You can potentially drop Focus Blast for an emergency Defog support, but Thundy really wants that coverage when things like Heatran are running around.

Kyurem @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Def / 72 SpD / 116 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam
- Toxic
- Substitute
- Roost

Balance Staller Kyurem

Flips a lot of its bad matchups like double regen cores and setup sweepers. Toxic can cripple things like cresselia and volcarona, that would normally use it as setup fodder, as well as things like slowbro which can reverse PP stall you. Sub + toxic lets it get a free toxic on things that would be brought in to force it out, like tapu koko and victini.

EVs: 116 speed outspeeds defensive landorus, 68 defense lets its sub survive a kartana leaf blade, rest is pooled into spdef.
