Quality Control Boots Pivot TornT (QC 0/2) (GP 0/1)

[mcribs]

[SET]
Tornadus-Therian @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Steel / Fairy
Timid Nature
- Bleakwind Storm
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Heat Wave / Taunt

Combining its high speed, Knock Off, and Regenerator, Tornadus-T becomes an excellent pivot with Heavy-Duty Boots, being able to outlast many of its checks while supporting its teammates. Knock Off wears down many answers to Tornadus-T such as Galarian Slowking, Garganacl, and Ting-Lu. Heat Wave is an option to hit Steel-types like Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Kingambit, while also dissuading Weavile from switching in. Taunt, however, allows Tornadus-T to prevent Defog on Corviknight and Galarian Weezing, recovery attempts from Alomomola and Moltres, while also preventing status such as Gliscor's Toxic or Clefable's Thunder Wave. It also notably prevents Galarian Slowking's Chilly Reception, forcing more predictable plays for teammates. Tera Steel allows Tornadus-T to resist Fairy-types like Enamorus or Clefable, block Malignant Chain from Pecharunt, and switches in comfortable against Deoxys-S Psycho Boost, Kyurem's Ice Beam, and Gholdengo's Make It Rain. Tera Fairy meanwhile lets you be more comfortable into Dragon-types like Raging Bolt and Dragapult, and Dark-types like Darkrai and Hisuian Samurott.

Tornadus-T's excellent support capabilities slot in onto balance and bulky offense, where its teammates can make up for its lack of power. Ting lu is an amazing teammate through its ability to stack hazards, allowing Tornadus-T to use Knock Off more effectively. In addition, they form a solid defensive core, where Ting lu handles Electric-types like Raging Bolt and Zapdos, while Tornadus-T can switch in and threaten Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and Iron Valiant. Similarly to Ting Lu, Great Tusk and Iron Treads are great teammates for their ability to check Zapdos and Raging bolt, while also providing Rapid Spin, allowing Tornadus-T to not fear hazards even after a Knock Off. Steel-types like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, and Heatran provide a valuable Ice resist, letting them handle threats like Kyurem and Weavile for the former, as well as a Fairy resist against Clefable, Enamorus, and Iron Valiant. Tornadus-T enjoys having a way to pivot in safely, as it can form a pivoting core to wear down opponents over longer games. Thus, it appreciates pivots such as Galarian Slowking and Alomomola, both of which offer unique utility through Future Sight for the former, and Wish from the latter. Other strong offensive pivots like Cinderace and Raging Bolt are able to overwhelm defensive opponents like Corviknight and Garganacl. Cinderace also provides hazard control with Court Change and Will-O-Wisp, letting Tornadus-T be able to check physical attackers like Great Tusk and Zamazenta more comfortably, while Raging Bolt scares out Corviknight and appreciates Tornadus-T scaring out Ground-types like Great Tusk and Ting lu.

Tornadus-Therian @ Heavy-Duty Boots

Combining its high speed, Knock Off, and Regenerator, Tornadus-T becomes an excellent pivot with Heavy-Duty Boots, being able to outlast many of its checks while supporting its teammates. A small comment on U-turn seems warranted Knock Off wears down many answers to Tornadus-T such as Galarian Slowking, Garganacl, and Ting-Lu. (Mention how you do this, like removing Leftovers or HDB to wear them down alongside entry hazard. Consider adding Zapdos, maybeee Heatran(?)) Heat Wave is an option to hit Steel-types like Gholdengo, Corviknight, and Kingambit, while also dissuading Weavile from switching in. Taunt, however, allows Tornadus-T to prevent Defog on Corviknight and Galarian Weezing, recovery attempts from Alomomola and Moltres, while also preventing status such as Gliscor's Toxic or Clefable's Thunder Wave. It also notably prevents Galarian Slowking's Chilly Reception, forcing more predictable plays for teammates. Tera Steel allows Tornadus-T to resist Fairy-types like Enamorus or Clefable, block Malignant Chain from Pecharunt, and switches in comfortable against Deoxys-S Psycho Boost, Kyurem's Ice Beam, and Gholdengo's Make It Rain. (I would rearrange this to put more emphasis on the Ice-type moves, since those are the ones you are weak to initially. Probably trade Pecharunt's Malignant Chain for Dragapult's Draco / Darts, Pecha doesnt want to trade blows with you) Tera Fairy meanwhile lets you be more comfortable into Dragon-types like Raging Bolt and Dragapult, and Dark-types like Darkrai and Hisuian Samurott. (Borderline type chart info. Please be more specific on what moves you are looking to resist / be immune to; would change Raging Bolt for something else since it will be clicking the Electric move)

Tornadus-T's excellent support capabilities slot in onto balance and bulky offense, where its teammates can make up for its lack of power. Ting lu is an amazing teammate through its ability to stack hazards, allowing Tornadus-T to use Knock Off more effectively. In addition, they form a solid defensive core, where Ting lu handles Electric-types like Raging Bolt and Zapdos, while Tornadus-T can switch in and threaten Zamazenta, Great Tusk, Ogerpon-W, (borderline add cause of Tera Pon but imo worth having a mention to Torn-T's ability to soft check it somewhere in the text) and Iron Valiant. Similarly to Ting Lu, Great Tusk and Iron Treads are great teammates for their ability to check Zapdos and (Is there a way to make it clear you mean Zapdos only in the case of Treads?) Raging bolt, while also providing Rapid Spin, allowing Tornadus-T to not fear hazards even after a Knock Off. Steel-types like Gholdengo, Iron Crown, and Heatran provide a valuable Ice resist, letting them handle threats like Kyurem and Weavile for the former, in the case of Heatran, (not sure, it just read a bit confusing to me but feel free to leave as it is) as well as a Fairy resist against Clefable, Enamorus, and Iron Valiant. (Is this relevant for Tornadus-T? Since you are not weak to Fairy. If it is please explain how since it is not straightforward, or consider removing this part) Tornadus-T enjoys having a way to pivot in safely, as it can form a pivoting core to wear down opponents over longer games. Thus, it appreciates pivots such as Galarian Slowking and Alomomola, both of which offer unique utility through Future Sight for the former, and Wish from the latter. (If you could mention other things these Pokemon do that would be great, like for Alomomola, Tornadus-T checks Ogerpon-W, Rillaboom, while in turn Alomomola can help with Weavile) Other strong offensive pivots like Cinderace (Cinderace is not a very common partner, I would remove it but I get the reasoning so up to you) and Raging Bolt are able to overwhelm defensive opponents like Corviknight and Garganacl. Cinderace also provides hazard control with Court Change and Will-O-Wisp, letting Tornadus-T be able to check physical attackers like Great Tusk and Zamazenta more comfortably, while Raging Bolt scares out Corviknight and appreciates Tornadus-T scaring out Ground-types like Great Tusk and Ting lu. (Think you were cooking a bit too much here. You dont fear Corviknight that much, particularly with Heat Wave, and the Ting-Lu mention might require a bit of knowing how the interaction works; rewording it to "wear down" could be an option)

- A lot of your teammates, namely the Ground- and Steel-types, can deal with Galarian Slowking which is rather annoying for this Tornadus-T set. Working it in as a mention in those places would be great. On the same light, Glimmora can also be annoying and is handled by those same mons.
