Tornadus-Therian @ Life Orb
Ability: Regenerator

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Bleakwind Storm
- Heat Wave
- Grass Knot

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.

The bird is the word, and this one will make sure it's heard! While it's been seen pivoting around with its utility set, Tornadus-T has recently ride the wind by unleashing 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 go the long game, its strong Speed tier lets it get the jump on tier staples like Cinderace and one of the toughest threats for balance teams, Ogerpon-W. Moreover, its bountiful coverage moves let it threaten most of its would-be checks; Heat Wave sears Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Iron Treads, while Grass Knot reliably smashes Garganacl—even Tera Water variants—as well as Ting-Lu. Tera Steel flips its Ice weakness from foes like Weavile and Ice Beam Darkrai (While Kyurem is slower, you might be able to use said space to NP. It would be great if you can add it somehow but its fine if not) as well as other common revenge killers like Dragapult, Deoxys-S, and non-Close Combat Iron Valiant. (I had trouble understanding this part. You could outright mention the moves that you resist such as Dragapult's Draco Meteor and Deoxys-S's Psycho Boost. Just trying to reword it a bit would be great) Hazard removers like Galarian Weezing, Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Iron Treads provide necessary anti-Stealth Rock support; additionally, Iron Treads and Great Tusk set their own hazards, with Iron Treads also checking Raging Bolt and Zapdos that would switch into Tornadus-T. (Something that highlights Life Orb could be nice, potentially OHKOs Gliscor after a NP)

Its Life Orb Bleakwind Storm (RC) especially with Life Orb that notably grants has solid odds to OHKO Gliscor at +2, becomes making it tough to switch into especially when backed up by its Tornadus-T's bountiful coverage moves; (The appositive with the LO calc feels awkwardly placed, so I reworded this part such that one point leads into the other.) 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 from 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.
