He isn't TERRIBLE outside of rain like many are saying, he just has to rely on a move that misses just as much as Focus Blast. He's a very neat offensive pivot that out speeds most of OU no problem, and is one of the fastest non prankster Taunt users in OU as well. I've played with Torn-T outside of rain a couple of times over the past few days, and I've found a Rain Dance sweeping set worked wonders. Yea it sucks that you have to sacrifice Taunt or some kind of Hidden Power, but it acts similar to Kingdra because it can sweep very effectively late game, since nothing really can take a Hurricane too well.
Here's a question for the Uber supporters....why? Torn-T is one of the most predictable Pokemon in OU, because all it want to do is spam Hurricane. All of its other moves are piss weak, and it can't take advantage of Heat Wave in Rain because it becomes really weak. Superpower doesn't even take out Offensive Heatran, and fails to KO Terrakion, leaving it wide open to being OHKOed by Stone Edge. It's main use is for the blobs and T-Tar, however it can't even reliably take out the blobs. By the way, I hate the argument that if you can't counter a Pokemon, then it's automatically broken. Bull shit. Take a look at Kyurem-B. His CB Outrage can even 2HKO some variants of Ferrothorn, as well as being one of the hardest things to switch into unless you're packing a Steel type like Skarmory which has access to Roost. Yes I understand that Kyurem is much slower than Torn-T, however if your not prepared for that then it's YOUR fault. Like I mentioned earlier, Torn-T is extremely predictable. An experienced player can predict Torn-T's move set, and it can easily be baited. For example, Torn-T is completely shut down by T-Wave, and makes it very easy to take down after it's paralyzed. Since paralysis support is a staple on most offensive teams, predicting the switch into Torn-T is quite easy, making it very simple to go for the T-Wave on the switch.
The team I'm using right now has one Torn-T counter, and that's Rotom-W. Almost 100% if the time Torn-T is still alive when Rotom is dead, and I still find no problem in dealing with it. Scarfers, paralysis support, and priority is key in beating Torn-T. For Kyurem-B, it's Burn, priority, and hard hitting scarfers. After saying all this, I still have no idea why some people still insist on sending this thing to ubers. It's effective, its dangerous, and it's fast. However, without rain, being paralyzed, or up against a scarfer Torn-T becomes just an over sized chicken that's ready to be cooked and eaten by the rest of the OU tier.
