[SET COMMENTS]
Tornadus-T's fantastic Speed tier allows it to outspeed and force out many common threats such as Keldeo and Ogerpon, granting it many opportunities to set up a Nasty Plot. This turns it into a powerful wallbreaker that can muscle through standard checks such as Tinkaton, Slowking, and Toxapex. Hurricane's additional power is significant, notably guaranteeing the OHKO on Keldeo, OHKOing bulkier variants of Azumarill at +2, and having a high chance to OHKO Latios after a Nasty Plot boost. Bleakwind Storm can still be considered, as it is slightly more reliable but will require support from entry hazards to make up for the slight drop in power. Heat Wave provides coverage to nail Steel-types like Tinkaton, Excadrill, and Metagross while also being a more reliable move into offensive threats like Lokix and Ogerpon. It is also one of Tornadus-T's best means to hit other Flying-resistant foes like Zapdos and Raikou for neutral damage. Focus Blast provides the necessary coverage to OHKO Pokemon like Tyranitar and Hisuian Arcanine. Weather Ball is an option on weather teams that allows Tornadus-T to OHKO Zapdos and opposing Tornadus-T in sand, as well as threatening the aforementioned Pokemon and Sandy Shocks in snow. U-turn is an alternative that provides some utility, allowing Tornadus-T to switch out of unfavorable matchups against Rhyperior and Empoleon to bring in a partner more capable of dealing with them. The EV spread has enough Speed to outpace base 115s like Raikou and Cinccino, while the bulk prevents it from being OHKOed by Tera Bug Silver Powder-boosted First Impression from Lokix. Tera Electric removes its Electric weakness in a pinch to better deal with Zapdos and Raikou while also avoiding Thunder Wave from Slowking and Tinkaton.

Tornadus-T fits best on a variety of playstyles such as hyper offense, which can apply enough offensive pressure to defensive structures, or bulky offense and balance teams that can provide a strong enough backbone to support a more offensive set. Toxapex and Slowking can form a Regenerator core with Tornadus-T, which can help offset the severity of any drawbacks from it potentially missing a move against Pokemon such as Azumarill and Latios. Slowking can also provide Thunder Wave support to cripple faster threats to Tornadus-T such as Greninja and use Chilly Reception to bring Tornadus-T in against Pokemon like Hydrapple while setting snow if using Weather Ball. Skeledirge is a pain for Tornadus-T to break through, so partners like Hisuian Arcanine and Tyranitar can apply pressure to it, the former two also having a great matchup against Zapdos that Tornadus-T can struggle to break without Terastilizing into an Electric-type. Sandy Shocks can also help pressure Zapdos and provide entry hazard support, like the three aforementioned Pokemon, to help wear down Tornadus-T's checks. Rock-types such as Tyranitar, Hisuian Arcanine, and Rhyperior are massive problems for Tornadus-T to break if it lacks Focus Blast, so partners like Keldeo and Greninja are ideal, and they all greatly appreciate being brought in safely against them if Tornadus-T is running U-turn. Lokix and Scizor invite Zapdos in and remove its Heavy-Duty Boots with Knock Off, allowing it to be weakened into range of a Nasty Plot-boosted Heat Wave. They can also bring Tornadus-T in safely against Pokemon such as Mandibuzz and Okidogi to find opportunities to set up a Nasty Plot to start wallbreaking. Their strong priority moves are also extremely beneficial for removing faster foes such as Choice Scarf Latios and Greninja.

Tornadus-T's fantastic Speed tier allows it to outspeed and force out many common threats such as Keldeo and Ogerpon, granting it many opportunities to set up a Nasty Plot and turning it into a powerful wallbreaker that can muscle through standard checks such as Tinkaton, Slowking, and Toxapex. Hurricane's additional power is significant, notably guaranteeing the OHKO on Keldeo and Kommo-o, OHKOing bulkier variants of Azumarill at +2, and having a high chance to OHKO Latios after a Nasty Plot boost. Bleakwind Storm can still be considered as it is slightly more reliable but will require more support from entry hazards to make up for the slight drop in power. (Would also mention that it literally does not matter if you're running this on Rain since it makes Hurricane 100% accurate anyway) Heat Wave provides coverage to nail Steel-types like Tinkaton and Metagross while also being a more reliable move into offensive threats like Lokix and Ogerpon. (Nails Excadrill too!) It is also one of Tornadus-T's best (would even go so far as to say only) means to hit other Flying resists like Zapdos and Raikou for neutral damage. U-turn provides some utility allowing Tornadus-T to switch out of unfavorable matchups against Rhyperior and Tyranitar, to bring in a partner more capable of dealing with them. (Also would mention it's valuable for getting those easy Regenerator procs in) Focus Blast can be used over U-turn to KO the aforementioned Pokemon as well as Arcanine-H and Empoleon. It can also be used over Heat Wave but the drawbacks of having only inaccurate moves can be extremely costly. Knock Off is another alternative to U-turn that helps Tornadus-T cripple its checks like Rhyperior and Skeledirge eventually wearing them down into range with support from entry hazards. (Would also mention some possible downsides of taking Knock over Turn) The EV spread has enough Speed to outpace base 115s like Raikou and Cinccino while the bulk prevents it from being OHKO'd by Tera Bug Silver Powder-boosted First Impression from Lokix. Tera Electric removes its Electric weakness in a pinch to better deal with Zapdos and Raikou, while also avoiding Thunder Wave from Slowking and Tinkaton. Tera Steel provides a lot of useful resistances to help against Iron Boulder (lol rip), Latios, and Ogerpon-C.

Sandy Shocks can also help pressure Zapdos and provide entry hazard support, just like the three aforementioned Pokemon, to help wear down Tornadus-T's checks. Rock-types such as Tyranitar, Harcanine-H, and Rhyperior are massive problems for Tornadus-T to break if it lacks Focus Blast so partners like Keldeo, Greninja, and the previously mentioned Kommo-o are ideal, and they all greatly appreciate being brought in safely against them if Tornadus-T is running U-turn.
