Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Grass Knot
- Substitute

Thundurus-T is an excellent choice on Flying teams, as it provides an Electric Immunity with Volt Absorb; this set also is able to single-handedly take on Water teams, cementing its place on Flying teams as an invaluable member. Nasty Plot increases its Special Attack to threatening levels, allowing it to become a potent threat and potentially wallbreak late-game. Thunderbolt allows it to strike hard after setting up, as well as hitting Water-types for super effective damage. Grass Knot allows it to lure in Pokemon such as Gastrodon, Swampert, and Hippowdon while also hitting other Ground-types. Lastly, Substitute allows it to set up on passive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Klefki, as well as avoiding getting inflicted by status effects like Toxic from Zapdos in the Flying mirror matchup. Teammates such as Mantine will provide a Water immunity and Defog support, so Thundurus-T can switch in freely. Landorus-T is also a great partner, as it provides another Electric immunity and Stealth Rock support.

I'd just talk about its coverage in one sentence and mention how its able to break Water-type teams and hit Ground-types. You're a bit over the character limit so this should shorten it a little bit.

I'd specifically mention Substitute as a way to avoid getting inflicted with status, especially by Toxic Zapdos which can't touch it behind Substitute, making the Flying mirror advantageous.

Rest looks fine, QC 1/1.

Thundurus-T is an excellent choice on Flying teams,(AC) as it provides an Electric Immunity with Volt Absorb,(RC) ;(ASC) this set also is able to single-handedly take on Water teams, cementing its place on Flying teams as an invaluable member. Nasty Plot allows Thundurus-T increases its Special Attack to rise to threatening levels, allowing it to become a potent threat and potentially break wallbreak late-game(AH). Thunderbolt is the STAB option, allowing allows it to strike hard after setting up, as well as hitting Water-types(AH) for Super Effective super effective damage and .(AP) Grass Knot allows it to lure in Pokemon such as Gastrodon, Swampert,(AC) and Hippowdon, alongside making sure it can hit Ground (not sure what this last bit means, aren't these all Ground-types too? I'd be more specific). Lastly, Substitute allows it to set up on passive Pokemon such as Toxapex and Klefki, as well as avoiding getting inflicted by status by effects from Toxic Zapdos against in the flying Flying mirror matchup. Teammates such as Mantine will provide a Water Immunity and provides immunity and Defog support and in conjunction it beats Water (not sure what this means too, who beats Water-types and how? Again, try being as clear as possible). Landorus-T is also a great partner,(AC) as it provides another Electric immunity and Stealth Rock.

I'd like to take another look at this, so tag me once you've implemented this check :blobthumbsup:
