Thanks to an incredible Special Attack stat, great coverage, and strong offensive and defensive typing allowing it to find a niche over other options such as Zapdos, the Bolt Strike Pokemon is a electrifying pivot in UU! Focus Blast is a valuable coverage option into Steel-, Rock-, and Ground-types like Excadrill, Ogerpon-C, Rhyperior, and Ursaluna. Sludge Wave hits Pokemon like Hydrapple and Latios, which would otherwise take Thundurus-T's other attacks. Tera Steel flips the matchup against Rock-, Dragon-, and Ice-types such as the Tyranitar, Hydrapple, and Mamoswine, allowing Thundurus-T to reliably KO them as well as providing an immunity to Toxic. Tornadus-T, Lokix, and Slowking are all great partners for Thundurus-T, as they all bring it in safely; the former two also check faster threats such as Greninja and Latios, while the latter is a slow pivot for Thundurus-T and provides Future Sight support.
