Tornadus-Therian @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Bleakwind Storm
- Icy Wind / Focus Blast
- Heat Wave

Tornadus-Therian blows through the competition with high speed winds! Nasty Plot turns Tornadus-T into a dangerous setup sweeper by giving it the crucial power boost needed to break through RegenVest users such as Manaphy and Iron Hands. Icy Wind OHKOs Zapdos after a Nasty Plot boost, but Focus Blast hits Well-Baked Body Iron Treads and lets Tornadus-T OHKO even RegenVest Roaring Moon. Heat Wave is the best option for Steel-types such as Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Bulletproof Iron Treads. Sheer Force pairs beautifully with all of the aforementioned attacks, and negates Life Orb chip damage. Tornadus-T fits best on hyper offense teams as it has a much easier time setting up and sweeping with dual screens support. Alternatively, Sticky Web is also a good option to let Tornadus-T outspeed Zamazenta, Deoxys-S and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon. Other setup sweepers like Iron Moth and Calm Mind Primarina can help Tornadus-T overwhelm special walls like Swampert and Ting-Lu.

Tornadus-Therian blows through the competition with high speed winds! Nasty Plot turns Tornadus-T into a dangerous setup sweeper by giving it the crucial power boost needed to break through RegenVest users such as Manaphy and Swampert. Bleakwind Storm is the best compromise between power and accuracy. kinda unnecessary tbh Icy Wind is the preferred option to both seem very good idt theres a preferred option OHKOes Zapdos after a Nasty Plot boost, but Focus Blast hits Goodra-Hisui and Well-Baked Body Iron Treads and lets Tornadus-T OHKO even RegenVest Roaring Moon at +2. Heat Wave is the best option for Steel-types such as Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Bulletproof Iron Treads.

Other setup sweepers like Iron Moth and Calm Mind Primarina can help Tornadus-T overwhelm special walls like Moltres gets ohkoed at +2 so id mention a regenvester instead, id go pert here instead and Ting-Lu.

Sheer Force pairs beautifully with all of the aforementioned attacks (RC) and negates Life Orb chip damage. Tornadus-T fits best on hyper offense teams, (AC) as it has a much easier time setting up and sweeping with dual screens support. (What Pokemon can viably set up dual screens for it?) Alternatively, Sticky Web (What are some viable Sticky Web setters?) is also a good option to let Tornadus-T outspeed Zamazenta, Deoxys-S, (AC) and Choice Scarf Roaring Moon. Other setup sweepers like Iron Moth and Calm Mind Primarina can help Tornadus-T overwhelm special walls like Swampert and Ting-Lu.
