- Nasty Plot
- Aeroblast
- Electro Drift
- Thunderclap
Thundurus-T storms through STABmons, tearing apart the Water-, Flying-, and Ground-types that make up most defensive cores. Thundurus-T has no problem nabbing a Nasty Plot against common pivots such as Corviknight, Slowking, and Toxapex to then dish out devastating damage with its high-power no-drawback STAB moves. Thunderclap patches up its so-so Speed tier, preventing it from being easily revenge killed by faster threats like Zamazenta and Walking Wake. The given EV spread adds Landorus-T to the list of threats it can set up on, letting it outspeed Landorus-T while also surviving two Dragon Ascents. Thundurus-T loves being paired with offensive pivots like Urshifu-R and Landorus-T, as they provide easy setup opportunities against physical walls like Corviknight. Thundurus-T can struggle against faster priority users or Electric-resistant revenge killers like Weavile and Ogerpon-C, so packing a sturdy pivot or two like Flip Turn Toxapex is strongly recommended. Fast cleaners like Bulk Up Zamazenta and Booster Energy Iron Valiant can make quick work of opposing teams after Thundurus-T is done shredding their defensive cores.
