The bird is the word, and this one will make sure it's heard! Tornadus-T has recently ridden the wind to unleash a nasty wallbreaking set with Nasty Plot that takes advantage of the tier's plenty of balance teams, being a great threat against and asset for said archetype simultaneously. On top of the crucial Regenerator letting it play the long game, its strong Speed tier lets it outspeed tier staples like Cinderace and one of the toughest threats for balance teams, Ogerpon-W. Life Orb Bleakwind Storm notably has solid odds to OHKO Gliscor at +2, making it tough to switch into especially when backed up by Tornadus-T's bountiful coverage moves; Heat Wave sears Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Iron Treads, while Grass Knot dents Garganacl—even Tera Water variants—and Ting-Lu. Tera Steel flips its Ice weakness against foes like Weavile and Ice Beam Darkrai as well as resisting other revenge killing methods like Dragapult's Draco Meteor and Dragonite's Extreme Speed. Entry hazard removers like Galarian Weezing, Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Iron Treads provide necessary anti-Stealth Rock support; in addition, Iron Treads and Great Tusk set their own hazards, with Iron Treads also checking Raging Bolt and Zapdos, which would switch into Tornadus-T.
