Thundurus-Therian @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 8 HP / 84 Def / 240 SpA / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- 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 Ting-Lu, and then dishing out devestating damage with its high-power no-drawback STAB moves; it is worth noting that Electro Drift, while stupidly powerful, is a contact move, meaning it does need to play somewhat carefully around Baneful Bunker Toxapex and other forms of contact punishment. 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, as it still outspeeds while also living two Dragon Ascents. Thundurus-T loves being paired with offensive pivots like Urshifu-R and Ogerpon-C, as the 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.
