Thanks to its high Attack and good Speed, Tauros finds a niche in RU as a wallbreaker and cleaner that fires off a devastating Body Slam; however, it requires support to break through bulky physical walls like Rhyperior and Steelix. Close Combat targets Normal-resistant switch-ins, namely Rock- and Steel-types like Rhyperior, Gigalith, and Steelix while also serving as Tauros's best move to hit Bewear. Throat Chop threatens foes like Bronzong, Dhelmise, and Golurk. Earthquake weakens prominent threats like Dragalge, Klefki, and Toxicroak. Alternatively, Zen Headbutt deals more damage to Passimian on the switch in and guarantees that Tauros can revenge kill Virizion. Protect is a notable mention, helping Tauros block First Impression from Golisopod and easing predictions against Choice item revenge killers such as Passimian and Gardevoir.

Tauros is primarily found on offensive builds that can utilize its wallbreaking and late-game cleaning potential. Tauros has good synergy with Fighting-types such as Bewear, Passimian, and Scrafty that threaten opposing Rock- and Steel-types, helping it clean late-game. Psychic-types such as Galarian Slowbro, Gardevoir, and Xatu help check Fighting-types that threaten Tauros, with Gardevoir also providing Healing Wish support and Xatu bringing Tauros safely into battle with Teleport. Furthermore, any such Psychic-type and Tauros can weaken Steel-types for each other, making it easier for either to clean late-game. Partners like Dragalge and Arcanine provide pivot support, with Dragalge luring in Copperajah and weakening Steelix with Flip Turn, while Arcanine checks Bewear and safely brings Tauros into play with Teleport. Spikes support from Golisopod and Klefki is helpful, wearing down bulky foes like Bewear, Dragalge, and Rhyperior. Golisopod is a notable partner, threatening faster revenge killers like Salazzle, Inteleon, and Barraskewda for Tauros while appreciating Tauros's ability to weaken problematic walls like Mantine and Milotic. Vikavolt is able to support Tauros by serving as a Fighting-type check and providing Sticky Web support, slowing down opposing Choice Scarf users and helping Tauros sweep late-game.

move 4: Earthquake / Rock Slide / Substitute Sub is pretty bad, Tauros already has longevity issues that aren't helped by sub and though it eases prediction, it's generally not worth it rn.

Alternatively, Rock Slide nails Bug-types like Centiskorch and Golisopod. while Substitute helps Tauros avoid status and gives it more opportunities to attack. Mention Protect, it can ease prediction against revenge killers like Passimian, Inteleon, and Gardevoir.

There can definitely be more partners to list here. Dragalge can bring in Tauros against Copperajah to threaten it with Close Combat, while wearing down Steelix. Arcanine can check Bewear while bringing in Tauros with Teleport, Golurk can help punch holes through the opponent's team and benefits from Tauros wallbreaking, etc.

[Feel free to word this differently, just feel like you should somehow mention that flaw in intro] Close Combat targets Normal-resistant switch-ins, namely Rock- and Steel-types like Rhyperior, Gigalith, and Steelix, while also serving as Tauros's best move to hit Bewear.
