Nasty Plot takes Thundurus-T's already monstrous Special Attack and amplifies it to be a destroyer of balance builds, being nigh unwallable after a boost and functioning as a key early-game wallbreaker for its team that also happens to counter Zapdos, enabling physical sweepers like Azumarill and Scizor. At +2, Thundurus-T is able to OHKO numerous bulky foes such as Metagross, Okidogi, Hydrapple, and defensive Zapdos and 2HKO others such as Pecharunt and Tinkaton with Thunderbolt. Sludge Bomb provides key coverage to nail Hydrapple and Serperior while being a strong neutral move against Latios. It also covers Tera Fairy users such as Skeledirge and Okidogi. Focus Blast drops the likes of Excadrill and Mamoswine unboosted and OHKOes Sandy Shocks and Rhyperior at +2. Tera Steel avoids revenge killing attempts from faster threats such as Ogerpon-C and Latios. Meanwhile, Tera Water stops Greninja from using Surf and Ice Beam to nail Thundurus-T and allows Thundurus-T to reactively answer Quaquaval and Belly Drum Azumarill, both of which are threats to the hyper offense teams Nasty Plot Thundurus-T finds itself on.

Nasty Plot Thundurus-T best fits on hyper offense teams that enable it to wallbreak early in the game. Entry hazard setters like Mew and Excadrill are key to wear down bulky foes like Pecharunt and Assault Vest Okidogi into range of +2 Thunderbolt. Greninja is a phenomenal teammate, being a constant source of offensive pressure against faster foes like Latios and Serperior while working to overwhelm the likes of Tinkaton and Okidogi. Comfey offensively pressures numerous revenge killers such as Latios, Lokix, and Keldeo. Physical wallbreakers like Ogerpon-C and Azumarill can take out Ground-types such as Hippowdon, Donphan, and Sandy Shocks. Both Ogerpon-C and Greninja also excel at overwhelming Skeledirge or forcing it to Terastallize at least, with Thundurus-T having the ability to get heavy damage on all variants post-Tera. Quaquaval and Mimikyu help out in the opposing offense matchup and break past annoying Pokemon like Greninja and Latios. Grimmsnarl can provide dual screens support, allowing Thundurus-T to boost more freely without fearing revenge killing from Pokemon such as Lokix and Zarude.

Nasty Plot takes Thundurus-T's already monstrous Special Attack and amplifies it to be a destroyer of balance builds, being nigh unwallable after a boost and functioning as a key early-game wallbreaker for its team. don't see dirge mentioned like anywhere in this analysis but its an undeniable problem that stops it doing this, don't necessarily need to change this opening line although it might sell it a bit strong because of it, but there should defnitely be some mention of it later in the teammates section or something. At +2, Thundurus-T is able to OHKO numerous bulky foes such as Metagross, Okidogi, Hydrapple, and Defensive Zapdos and 2HKO others such as Pecharunt and Tinkaton. Sludge Bomb provides key coverage to nail Hydrapple and Serperior while being a strong neutral move against Latios. can mention sludge bomb poisons on skeledirge perhaps allowing for a potential 2hko later? Focus Blast drops the likes of Excadrill and Mamoswine unboosted and OHKOes Sandy Shocks and Rhyperior at +2. Tera Steel avoids revenge killing attempts from faster threats such as Ogerpon-C and Latios. Meanwhile, Tera Water stops Greninja from clicking both Surf and Ice Beam and nailing Thundurus-T and also allows Thundurus-T to reactively answer Quaquaval and Belly Drum Azumarill, both of which are threats to the hyper offense teams Nasty Plot Thundurus-T finds itself on.

looks good tbh only real issue for me is ctrl+f'ing zero dirge mentions. qc 1/2

I've got no issues with this. I think it would be nice to mention how it is great at punishing Zapdos for HO because it can be extremely annoying for common physical breakers used like Azu, Sciz, Quaq, Mimi, etc.

2/2
