Pivot (Tornadus-Therian) (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Flyinium Z
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 184 HP / 108 Def / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
- Bleakwind Storm / Hurricane
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Heat Wave / Defog

[SET COMMENTS]
Tornadus-T is an effective pivot due to Regenerator, a Speed tier higher than threats such as Iron Valiant and Ogerpon-W, and its ability to effectively switch into Pokemon like Great Tusk and Kartana. Bleakwind Storm is preferred for higher accuracy, but Hurricane, especially when used with Flyinium Z, can be used for the extra power boost; even without the Z boost, it guarantees the OHKO on Ogerpon-W after Stealth Rock. Knock Off is vital to remove items such as Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots from Pokemon like Clefable, Heatran, and Toxapex, hindering their longevity. Heat Wave hits Gholdengo, Ferrothorn, and Mega Scizor. Defog is a potential option if a team does not have another form of entry hazard removal, especially since Tornadus-T has decent matchups against hazard setters such as Landorus-T and Great Tusk. However, losing the coverage to hit the aforementioned Steel-types is less than ideal. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Tornadus-T to gain Regenerator recovery even in the face of Stealth Rock; however, Flyinium Z can also be used to make attempts at revenge killing foes like unboosted Roaring Moon, Garchomp, and Mega Charizard Y more efficient. The given EVs help Tornadus-T survive a Stone Edge from Zamazenta after Stealth Rock and outspeed Iron Valiant.

Tornadus-T fits on balance and bulky offense teams where its high Speed and vast amount of utility options are appreciated. Pokemon like Slowbro and Gholdengo appreciate Tornadus-T's ability to switch in on Grass- and Ground-types such as Landorus-T and Ogerpon-W, with the former also creating a Regenerator core that allows the pair to switch back and forth effortlessly against passive foes such as Toxapex and Gliscor. Wallbreakers such as Ogerpon-W and Tapu Lele take advantage of Tornadus-T's ability to pivot on defensive pieces these wallbreakers prey on, such as Gliscor and Toxapex. Electric-types such as Zapdos, Tapu Koko, and Raging Bolt are problematic for Tornadus-T, as they prevent it from gaining momentum easily, so checks to these Pokemon like Gliscor, Heatran, and Ting-Lu are all stellar partners. In return, Tornadus-T can ease matchups against foes like Great Tusk, Landorus-T, and Ogerpon-W. Tornadus-T can struggle to force progress against Steel-types such as Kingambit, Gholdengo, and Heatran, so teammates that can take advantage of Tornadus-T pivoting on them such as Urshifu-R and Garchomp are appreciated.

Tornadus-T is an effective pivot due to Regenerator, a speed tier faster than threats such as Iron Valiant and Ogerpon-W, and its ability to effectively switch into Pokemon like Great Tusk and Kartana. Bleakwind Storm is preferred for higher accuracy, but Hurricane, especially when using Flyinium Z, can be used for the extra power boost, which can be useful to guarantee the OHKO on Ogerpon-W after Stealth Rock. Knock Off is vital to remove items such as? helmets and boots from Pokemon like Clefable, Heatran, and Toxapex which does what to them?. Heat Wave hits Gholdengo, Ferrothorn, and Mega Scizor. Defog is a potential option if a team does not have another form of entry hazard removal, especially with decent matchups against hazard setters such as Landorus-T and Great Tusk. Taunt can also be used to completely shut down hazard setters like Gliscor and Clefable, Pokemon that could otherwise setup hazards on Tornadus-T safely. Taunt isnt rly as useful as other 2 as mentioned However, losing the coverage to hit the aforementioned Steel-types is less than ideal. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Tornadus-T to gain Regenerator recovery even in the face of Stealth Rock, however Flyinium Z can also be used to make attempts at revenge killing foes like unboosted Roaring Moon, Garchomp, and Mega Charizard Y more efficient. The given EVs help Tornadus-T survive a Stone Edge from Zamazenta after Stealth Rock and outspeed unboosted Roaring Moon.
