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.
