[SET COMMENTS]
Paragraph 1 (3-4 lines approximately)
Thundurus-T establishes itself in UU as an excellent pivot thanks to its good Speed and solid coverage, allowing it to easily make progress and provide safe entry for its teammates later.
- Focus Blast nails Excadrill, the main Volt Switch-blocker, as well as Heatran, Tyranitar, and Tera Steel Latios.
Describe the role of the set and its place in the metagame. Explain any moves that are not obvious in intent or are slashed with another option, STAB movesshould not be explained unless they are optional moves slashed with something else. Explain any item choices very briefly. Explain non-obvious EV spreads, (not maxed stats), are there relevant examples for investments in speed, bulk, or power? Explain Tera-types with relevant examples, mention if the Pokemon should not tera outside of an emergency.
Paragraph 2: (3-4 lines approximately)
What teams does this Pokemon fit on? Comment on important teammates for the Pokemon. Some things that may be relevant to bring up here are Pivot supports, Hazard setters, Defoggers or Rapid spinners, Pokemon with strong defensive synergy, Pokemon that can help overwhelm shared checks. Note that not all of these things will be relevant to every example.
