- Focus Blast / Taunt
[SET COMMENTS]
Tornadus-T acts as a formidable wallbreaker, taking advantage of its impressive Speed, solid Special Attack, and wide coverage options to set up with Nasty Plot; additionally its decent bulk and Regenerator allow it to exploit passive Pokemon, such as Corviknight and Alomomola, for setup opportunities. Nasty Plot allows Tornadus-T to boost its decent Special Attack to even greater heights, letting it break through defensive Pokemon like Toxapex, Gliscor, and Ferrothorn. Bleakwind Storm is an alternative STAB move with greater accuracy than Hurricane, although it is slightly weaker. Heat Wave hits Pokemon that are not threatened by Tornadus-T's STAB move, such as Gholdengo, Zapdos, and Ferrothorn. Focus Blast provides crucial coverage against Rock- and Steel-type foes that take little damage from Tornadus-T's STAB move and Heat Wave, such as Mega Tyranitar and Heatran, and also hits Ting-Lu for super effective damage. Taunt blocks Toxic from foes like Gliscor and Toxapex and Thunder Wave from Ferrothorn while additionally letting Tornadus-T effectively beat stall by itself. Flyinium-Z allows Tornadus-T to secure KOs against the likes of Toxapex, Mega Diancie, and Mega Charizard-Y, all of which get OHKOed after one Nasty Plot boost.
Tornadus-T thrives on more offensively oriented team compositions, where it can contribute by setting up and breaking through opposing teams to support its allies. Its ability to pressure foes like Great Tusk, Ogerpon-W, and Iron Valliant opens up teammates such as Gholdengo, Heatran, and Ting-Lu to play more freely. Other Pokemon that appreciate Tornadus-T's wallbreaking capabilities include Urshifu-R and Raging Bolt, as they benefit from Tornadus-T's ability to pressure their respective checks like Slowbro and Ferrothorn. Ting-Lu, Garchomp, and Gliscor are also solid partners thanks to their ability to handle Electric- and Rock-type foes like Zapdos, Tapu Koko, and Mega Diancie that threaten Tornadus-T. Landorus-T also handles these threats, as well as providing Defog support, which Tornadus-T greatly appreciates due to its Stealth Rock weakness. Ferrothorn is another notable partner, as it can switch into any attack from the likes of Tapu Koko while also providing entry hazards for Tornadus-T. Terapagos is also a solid teammate for Tornadus-T because it provides Rapid Spin support, which Tornadus-T greatly appreciates due to its Stealth Rock weakness, and it is also a natural fit for offensive teams that Tornadus-T thrives in.
