龙卷云-灵兽形态 怎么配招

Set Details Assault Vest Tornadus-T leverages its access to U-turn and Regenerator and its high Speed to become an incredibly safe switch-in to strong special attackers like Dragapult and Tapu Lele. Heat Wave is used to hit Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Melmetal, and Cawmodore super effectively. Knock Off punishes common Tornadus-T switch-ins like Tapu Koko, Heatran, and Landorus-T and hits Dragapult super effectively. The given EV spread allows Tornadus-T to survive two Choice Specs Dragapult Draco Meteors after Stealth Rock while outspeeding Cawmodore. If the team already has a Cawmodore check, a spread of 252 HP / 88 SpD / 168 Spe can be run, which still outspeeds Kartana and Adamant Weavile. Assault Vest Tornadus-T is an excellent glue for most balance teams due to its ability to provide pivoting and Knock Off support. Entry hazard removal from Astrolotl, Landorus-T, or Colossoil is a must for any team with Assault Vest Tornadus-T. Astrolotl deserves special mention for forming a solid defensive Regenerator core with Tornadus-T, capable of effectively scouting most Choice item users. Offensive Pokemon like Dragapult, Tapu Lele, and Melmetal appreciate Tornadus-T's ability to pivot them in safely with U-turn. In return, they threaten the offensive Pokemon that are capable of overwhelming Tornadus-T like Venomicon-E, Weavile, and Calm Mind Tapu Koko. Because Tornadus-T struggles to check Dragapult and Tapu Lele by itself, pairing it with a Dark-type like Weavile or Colossoil is a good idea. Tornadus-T relies heavily on its Assault Vest to answer special wallbreakers; thus, Knock Off absorbers like Clefable, Arghonaut, and Toxapex are valuable teammates.

Set Details Tornadus-T has access to a ridiculous number of utility options that make it a premier utility choice on many balance and bulky offense teams. Knock Off cripples common Tornadus-T switch-ins like Tapu Koko, Zapdos, and Galarian Slowking. U-turn allows Tornadus-T to recover with Regenerator while generating momentum. Heat Wave hits Steel-types like Ferrothorn, Melmetal, Cawmodore, and Corviknight super effectively. Taunt prevents Pokemon like Landorus-T and Heatran from using Toxic and Stealth Rock while also letting Tornadus-T beat walls like Corviknight, Toxapex, and Clefable that rely on recovery moves. Tornadus-T is an apt Defogger, as it is quite easy to get onto the field while retaining momentum due to Regenerator and U-turn. Many teams enjoy the utility and pivoting that Tornadus-T provides. Wallbreakers like Dragapult, Melmetal, Blacephalon, and Venomicon-E appreciate Tornadus-T pivoting them in safely with U-turn and removing entry hazards with Defog. Electric-types like Zapdos and Tapu Koko force Tornadus-T out, so Pokemon like Landorus-T and Equilibra are excellent choices for teammates. Equilibra and Colossoil provide Rapid Spin support, effectively allowing Tornadus-T to run Taunt over Defog. Other Regenerator users like Toxapex, Slowbro, and Astrolotl make for great defensive cores that sport excellent longevity. Both Toxapex and Astrolotl appreciate Tornadus-T's ability to switch into Ground-type attacks from Colossoil and Garchomp. Toxapex additionally absorbs Knock Off and Toxic from Pokemon like Clefable and Landorus-T. Other defensive pivots like Landorus-T pair well with Tornadus-T, as together they can safely switch into and pivot out on most of the tier's offensive threats.

Thanks to the combination of Regenerator + U-turn, Tornadus-T is fantastic at forcing damage over long periods of time. Hurricane is its only option strong enough to deal good damage to bulkier Pokemon like Slowbro, Toxapex, and Landorus-T. Knock Off is necessary to cripple Pokemon like Rotom-W, Heatran, and Galarian Slowking, which aren't afraid of Tornadus-T's other moves. Taunt allows Tornadus-T to break through Pokemon with recovery like Slowking and Toxapex a bit more easily. It also shuts down status moves like Heatran's Stealth Rock and Toxic and Ferrothorn's Leech Seed. Alternatively, Toxic can be used to set a timer on Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Tyranitar, and Roost Zapdos. 200 HP EVs prevents Victini from OHKOing Tornadus-T with V-create; Choice Band Victini gets hit by Knock Off before it can OHKO. Tornadus-T and Landorus-T form a strong, bulky core, with Landorus-T switching into Electric-type attacks from the likes of Tapu Koko and Zeraora for Tornadus-T. It can also set Stealth Rock, allowing Tornadus-T's U-turn and the switches it forces to more easily make progress against the opposing team. Landorus-T also threatens bulky Flying-resistant Pokemon like Heatran and Galarian Slowking, which Tornadus-T might have trouble beating even with Knock Off. Tornadus-T checks dangerous offensive Pokemon like Galarian Zapdos and Urshifu-R in return. Thundurus-T greatly appreciates Tornadus-T crippling checks like Heatran, Galarian Slowking, and Tyranitar with Knock Off. Additionally, Thundurus-T and Landorus-T together form a potent VoltTurn core with Tornadus-T, as well as offering Tornadus-T teams two Electric-immune Pokemon. Corviknight and Celesteela's Steel typing lets them take Ice-type moves, which scare out Tornadus-T. In return, Tornadus-T can remove items from defensive Pokemon that beat them like Slowking. Galarian Moltres greatly appreciates Tornadus-T softening up its checks like Tyranitar and Drapion. In return, Galarian Moltres dismantles Psychic-types like Hatterene and Mew effortlessly. Choice Band Galarian Zapdos is another excellent wallbreaker that appreciates Tornadus-T's utility, especially safe switches from U-turn. Alternatively, Galarian Zapdos can run a Choice Scarf set to beat Pokemon like Choice Scarf Kyurem and Arctozolt in hail, which would otherwise threaten Tornadus-T. Tornadus-T can be prone to losing its item, as Pokemon that Tornadus-T likes to stay in against, like Toxapex and Ferrothorn, run Knock Off. Thus, Tornadus-T appreciates Defoggers like Mantine and Zapdos.

Thanks to its good bulk and incredible longevity with Regenerator, Tornadus-T can also act as a fantastic defensive pivot. Furthermore, Tornadus-T has great utility moves to further improve its role: Knock Off allows it to cripple opponents like Rotom-W, Toxapex, and Heatran by removing their items, U-turn lets it safely pivot in teammates like Keldeo, Tyranitar, and Reuniclus., and Defog lets it remove entry hazards for its teammates, which is greatly appreciated by entry hazard-weak teammates like Kyurem and Aerodactyl. Alternatively, if your team already has entry hazard removal like Corviknight or Clefable, Toxic can be run to wear down Tornadus-T's switch-ins.

Tornadus-T is an incredibly potent offensive pivot that is hard to switch into thanks to its strong STAB Dragon Ascent and good coverage moves. Knock Off lets Tornadus-T remove opposing items and wear down its switch-ins such as Rotom-H, Corviknight, and Mudsdale. U-turn generates momentum on Pokemon trying to switch into Tornadus-T and lets it safely pivot in teammates like Tyranitar, Gengar and Kyurem. Superpower lets it OHKO Tyranitar and heavily dent Steel-types like Heatran, Ferrothorn, and Excadrill. Defog can be run as an emergency entry hazard removal option. Lastly, Taunt lets Tornadus-T shut down Pokemon that rely on their status moves, like Clefable, Corviknight, Ferrothorn, and Hippowdon. Electric-, Rock, and Steel-types commonly switch into Tornadus-T, so pairing it up with Pokemon that help handle these, like Seismitoad, Toxapex, Aerodactyl, and Cinderace, make for a good core. Removing Heavy-Duty Boots, Assault Vest, and Rocky Helmet with Knock Off helps teammates like Buzzwole, Aerodactyl, and Keldeo beat opposing teams. Other pivots like Rotom-W and Cinderace form a VoltTurn core with Tornadus-T that maintains consisistent momentum.

Tornadus-T's incredible Speed tier, good longevity, and powerful Hurricane make it a great setup sweeper. Nasty Plot lets it bolster its Special Attack stat to incredible levels, allowing it to even break through the likes of Blissey, Thundurus-T, and Corviknight. Aeroblast is less powerful than Hurricane but can be used for its better accuracy. However, its low PP and damage output are unideal for a setup sweeper like Tornadus-T, which thrives in longer games. Focus Blast is the primary way to hit foes that resist Flying like Tyranitar, Heatran, and Rotom-W. Knock Off can be run to cripple switch-ins like Chansey, Assault Vest Toxapex, and Thundurus-T. Taunt can also be run to shut down the likes of Clefable, and Ferrothorn, and Transform Chansey. A more offensive spread with full investment in Special Attack can be used but makes Tornadus-T significantly less bulky and fails to check Pokemon like Buzzwole and Rillaboom. Weather Ball can be used over Knock Off or Taunt on weather teams to give Tornadus a powerful move to break through checks like Thundurus-T and Rotom-W.

Thanks to the longevity from Regenerator and extra bulk from Assault Vest, Tornadus-T can blanket check a lot of the tier's special attackers, like Gengar, Nidoking, and Keldeo. Focus Blast is its best move for damaging Steel-types like Heatran and Melmetal, as well as hitting Tyranitar on a switch in. Heat Wave can also be used to threaten Ferrothorn and Corviknight, but losing its super effective coverage against Heatran and Tyranitar isn't ideal. U-turn lets Tornadus-t safely pivot in its teammates, notably bringing in revenge killers like Cinderace, Gengar, and Hydreigon against special attackers it cannot beat. Physically offensive sets running Dragon Ascent and Superpower with a Jolly nature can also be used, notably giving Tornadus-T more damage output against Calm Mind sweepers like Clefable and Reuniclus.

With a Special Attack donation, Tornadus-T becomes a great special setup sweeper thanks to its coverage and Speed. It is also greatly helped out by Regenerator, which allows it to set up and attack multiple times and wear down its checks. Heavy-Duty Boots extends its longevity even further by negating its Stealth Rock weakness. Hurricane is its main STAB option, threatening slower offensive threats such as Rillaboom and Zygarde-10%. Nasty Plot further boosts its offensive capabilities and helps it break bulky special walls such as Reuniclus and Slowking. Focus Blast nails Steel- and Rock-types that can easily take Hurricane like Heatran, Ferrothorn, Excadrill, and Tyranitar. Heat Wave gives it a more reliable attack that still deals with most Steel-type Pokemon, notably Necrozma-DM, but misses out on Heatran and Tyranitar. Knock Off helps Tornadus-T remove key items from foes, especially Assault Vest and Heavy-Duty Boots, to wear down its checks and counters like Clear Smog Gastrodon and Ho-Oh, which can also help other teammates break them. U-turn instead keeps offensive momentum and is better against walls without Regenerator like Rotom-W and Heatran when combined with entry hazards. Taunt is another alternative that shuts down status and recovery moves from the likes of Gastrodon and Giratina. If Kyogre is a partner, Weather Ball is also viable to hit Heatran and Excadrill better. Bulky offense and balance teams appreciate Tornadus-T's ability to make progress and allow Tornadus-T to utilize Regenerator as much as possible. Gods with a high Special Attack like Kyurem-W and Dialga are a natural fit to bolster its Special Attack. Kyogre notably synergizes well with Tornadus-T thanks to Drizzle boosting Hurricane's accuracy. In turn, Kyogre enjoys its checks like Gastrodon, Ferrothorn, and Tangrowth getting worn down. Fast Electric-type Pokemon such as Tapu Koko and Zeraora outspeed and threaten to OHKO Tornadus-T, so answers to these like Tangrowth and Landorus-T are necessary. Ferrothorn notably also provides a switch-in against Weavile and Choice Scarf Kyurem-W. It can also check Tyranitar should Tornadus-T not run Focus Blast and complement its ability to pivot with either Stealth Rock or Spikes. Other partners with entry hazards like Heatran and Clefable also make for good teammates. Offensive Pokemon, especially those that can form a pivot core with Tornadus-T like Tapu Koko and Victini, keep the offensive pressure that Tornadus-T can provide. A Knock Off sponge should also be considered as Tornadus-T hates having its Heavy-Duty Boots removed, so Zamazenta-C and Clefable make good teammates.

Defog Tornadus-T is a great support Pokemon that provides consistent entry hazard removal and pivoting and also boasts a great Speed tier that outpaces Zygarde-10% and Alolan Persian. Hurricane hits Pokemon like Amoonguss and Landorus-T decently hard thanks to its high Base Power. Alternatively, Heat Wave ensures Tornadus-T can keep entry hazards off the field against Ferrothorn and Skarmory by forcing them out. Defog supports its teammates by preventing chip damage, and Tornadus-T can usually remove entry hazards multiple times thanks to Regenerator. U-turn helps it gain momentum on forced switches while also dealing chip damage. Knock Off deters switch-ins that rely on their items like Ho-Oh and and also helps deal with stall teams more effectively by forcing progress. Heavy-Duty Boots is required to negate Stealth Rock damage and let Tornadus-T switch in more comfortably. Timid is the preferred nature, as U-turn and Knock Off are mainly used for their utility. Defog Tornadus-T is a great option on almost all team archetypes, with the exception of hyper offense. It enjoys receiving HP or Defense, but can credibly do its job in any slot if needed. While matching up well against bulkier teams, Tornadus-T can be overwhelmed by strong offensive threats like Kyogre, Victini, and Tapu Koko, so running multiple bulky Pokemon is recommended. Landorus-T can form an entry hazard control core with Tornadus-T thanks to Stealth Rock and also deals with Electric-type Pokemon, namely Zeraora and Tapu Koko. Entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Heatran also synergize well with it. Ice-types such as Weavile and Kyurem-B threaten Tornadus-T, which can be taken care of by teammates like Zamazenta-C and Clefable. RegenVest users like Tangrowth and Slowking can take on special attackers like Kyogre and Dialga. Rotom-W checks a plethora of physical attackers such as Rayquaza, Victini, and Necrozma-DM; however, they are often both competing for the HP slot. Offensive Pokemon like Victini and Kyogre can take advantage of common defensive Pokemon that like to switch into Tornadus-T, such as Corviknight and Zamazenta-C. Those that tend to pivot or switch out multiple times throughout a game such as Victini and Tapu Koko also like having Stealth Rock removed in case they don't have Heavy-Duty Boots. A teammate that can take Knock Off is preferred. Zamazenta-C takes very little from Knock Off, and Clefable can also increase Tornadus-T's longevity with cleric support.

Moves Tornadus-T is an outstanding user of Knock Off because it tends to draw in Pokemon like Zapdos, Celesteela, and Toxapex, which don't appreciate getting their item removed. Taunt can be run to break through bulkier checks like Toxapex and, ultimately, balanced teams. Heat Wave is an option to more steadily wear down Steel-types like Magearna, Celesteela, and Ferrothorn. Set Details Rocky Helmet is run to punish U-turn users like Landorus-T and Kitsunoh. 252 HP EVs notably allow Tornadus-T to check Kartana and Choice Scarf Landorus-T more comfortably as well as Necturna lacking Stone Edge. Usage Tips You should actively look to punish contact move users like Landorus-T and Kartana with Tornadus-T. Tornadus-T should attempt to generate momentum for its team by using U-turn or Defog on a forced switch on the opposing side. To punish incoming Flying-resistant Pokemon like Celesteela and Zapdos, Tornadus-T should use Knock Off to cripple them. Team Options Tornadus-T should primarily be used on bulkier teams as a reliable measure for Pokemon like Landorus-T and Grass-types as well as a Defogger. Because Tornadus-T tends to struggle with Electric-types, bulky Grass-types like Tangrowth, Jumbao, and Ferrothorn should be run to check them. Tornadus-T's tendency to invite in Magearna and Toxapex and cripple them with Knock Off and its ability to take advantage of Pokemon like Jumbao and Arghonaut makes Ash-Greninja, which struggles against them, an excellent partner. Similarly, Mega Crucibelle and offensive Psychic-types like Tapu Lele and Mega Alakazam tend to struggle to break through bulkier Steel-types like Magearna and Celesteela, so Tornadus-T's tendency to draw them in and cripple them with Knock Off makes it a good teammate for them. Checks to Rock-types like Mega Tyranitar, Mega Crucibelle, and Mega Diancie like Arghonaut and Ferrothorn are important because Tornadus-T will be forced out by them very easily.

Moves Knock Off is a fantastic way to punish Tornadus-T's checks that wish to switch into it, such as Heatran and Celesteela. U-turn allows Tornadus-T to pivot out of threatening scenarios and regain HP with Regenerator while also providing a free switch in to a teammate, such as Kyurem-B, Mega Alakazam, or Magearna. Heat Wave OHKOs Cawmodore and hits the Steel-types that would otherwise wall it, such as Ferrothorn and Equilibra, while 2HKOing Magearna and Mega Mawile. Sludge Bomb is an option over Hurricane to OHKO uninvested Jumbao, but Hurricane's damage output is usually more appreciated. Set Details 232 Speed EVs with a Timid nature allow Tornadus-T to outspeed Jolly Cawmodore and effectively check it. 80 HP EVs allows Tornadus-T to avoid being OHKOed by Jumbao's Twinkle Tackle after Stealth Rock. It also guarantees that it is not 2HKOed by Mega Alakazam's Psychic and Pixie Plate Jumbao's Moonblast if Stealth Rock isn't up. The rest of the EVs are put into Special Attack to always OHKO Cawmodore and Tomohawk and 2HKO uninvested Manaphy after Stealth Rock. Usage Tips Tornadus-T is valuable throughout the game because it can safely scout special attackers like Jumbao, Mega Alakazam, and Tapu Lele while using Knock Off to punish switch-ins and U-turn to accumulate chip damage and pivot into a more favorable matchup. If it's at full health, Tornadus-T survives Cawmodore's +6 Bullet Punch and can outspeed and OHKO it with Heat Wave. It can also offensively check offensive Grass-types such as Tapu Bulu and Kartana and threaten them both out. Team Options Assault Vest Tornadus-T can fit on most teams, but is mostly encountered on bulky offense. Tornadus-T pairs well with U-turn and Volt Switch users such as Mega Scizor, Tapu Koko, and Rotom-Wash to keep momentum. Ground-types such as Equilibra and Landorus-T will absorb the Electric- and Rock-type attacks thrown Tornadus-T's way, while Tornadus-T can answer the Grass-types that beat them. Defoggers such as Mega Scizor and Rotom-Wash and spinners such as Equilibra can remove Stealth Rock so that Tornadus-T can remain at full health. Other Regenerator users such as Tangrowth and Toxapex can form very potent Regenerator cores with Tornadus-T, alleviating some of the pressure from one another by mutually checking threats such as Jumbao and Kartana. Wallbreakers such as Mega Alakazam, Kyurem-B, and Mega Mawile appreciate Tornadus-T bringing them in safely with U-turn.

Moves Knock Off is an excellent move to run on Tornadus-T that makes it much harder to switch into because it can cripple common switch-ins like Zapdos and Celesteela. Furthermore, Tornadus-T also tends to draw in blanket specially defensive walls like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Chansey, which don't appreciate getting their item removed either. U-turn can be run instead of Knock Off, but this makes Tornadus-T easier to switch into overall. Taunt can be run to prevent walls like Toxapex and Chansey from using their passive recovery moves, allowing Tornadus-T to break bulkier teams much better. Heat Wave is another option that can be run, which notably prevents Shift Gear Magearna from setting up against Tornadus-T for free and also gives Tornadus-T a consistent way to wear down Celesteela. Lastly, Focus Blast + Fightinium Z can be run instead of U-turn to blow past Heatran, Mega Tyranitar, and Tyranitar. Set Details Flyinium Z lets Tornadus-T blow past Pokemon like Landorus-T and means that it doesn't have to rely on Hurricane's shaky accuracy once, overall making it much more threatening if timed correctly. Usage Tips Tornadus-T should be used as a pivot to check Pokemon like Arghonaut and Kartana and remove entry hazards continuously. Generally speaking, U-turn or Defog should be used against Pokemon that Tornadus-T tends to force out like Tangrowth, Arghonaut, and Landorus-T to gain momentum. Use Knock Off on incoming Flying-resistant Pokemon like Celesteela, Magearna, and Zapdos to cripple them for the remainder of the match. Make sure to time Tornadus-T's use of its Z-Move right against Pokemon like opposing Tornadus-T and Clefable, which it otherwise can't KO. Team Options Tornadus-T fits on most bulky offensive and balanced teams as a Defog user and offensive pivot. It pairs particularly well with bulky Grass-types like Jumbao, Ferrothorn, and Tangrowth because they can check Electric-types like Tapu Koko, which Tornadus-T tends to struggle against. It should be noted that Tornadus-T and Tangrowth also form a very powerful Regenerator core. Heatran is an outstanding partner for Tornadus-T. Not only does it appreciate Tornadus-T's ability to remove Spikes, but it also appreciates U-turn to switch in safely. Tornadus-T can wear down bulky Steel-types, so Pokemon like Mega Crucibelle, Tapu Lele, and Mega Alakazam are good partners because of this. Additionally, because Crucibelle doesn't want to Mega Evolve early on thanks to its ability Regenerator, they also form an excellent Regenerator core. Ash-Greninja also is an excellent partner because Tornadus-T can take advantage of Pokemon like Jumbao and Arghonaut, which it has a hard time dealing with. It also appreciates U-turn support and Tornadus-T's ability to remove Toxapex's and Magearna's item. Lastly, Mega Crucibelle checks like Arghonaut, Hippowdon, and Ferrothorn are appreciated because if Tornadus-T ever predicts incorrectly while Mega Crucibelle switches in, it will be forced out.

Moves Hurricane is Tornadus-T's strongest STAB move, dealing respectable damage to walls like Swampert and Clefable, especially when paired with a 185-Base Power Supersonic Skystrike. U-turn lets Tornadus-T punish switches and gain Regenerator recovery, letting it act as an effective fast offensive pivot. Knock Off gives it valuable utility by removing key items of usual defensive switch-ins such as Porygon2's Eviolite and Celesteela's Leftovers. Knock Off can also remove items like Diggersby's Choice Band and Kyurem-B's Life Orb so a defensive teammate can check them more easily, as well as deal good damage to Psychic-types. Defog lets it take advantage of switches it forces to prevent Flying teams from being rapidly worn down by Stealth Rock. However, if another teammate such as Gliscor or Landorus-T carries Knock Off, coverage moves can be used to surprise usual switch-ins, such as Heat Wave for Skarmory, Ferrothorn, and Scizor, and Superpower for Tyranitar and Heatran. Set Details Flyinium Z gives Tornadus-T access to a 100% perfectly accurate STAB Supersonic Skystrike when it is needed to seriously damage a threat to the team, KOing the likes of Victini or Kyurem-B after Stealth Rock damage. Maximum Special Attack EVs let Tornadus-T hit as hard as possible with Supersonic Skystrike. Maximum Speed investment and a Timid nature make Tornadus-T as fast as possible, giving it many opportunities to Defog or gain momentum with U-turn. Timid is preferred over Naive, since Knock Off and U-turn are used for utility more than damage. However, Naive should be run if Superpower is used. Regenerator lets Tornadus-T heal off excess damage by simply switching out. Usage Tips Tornadus-T is best used to switch into weak or resisted attacks from Pokemon like Mega Venusaur and Hawlucha so it can stay as healthy as possible throughout the match thanks to Regenerator. Defog can be used to remove Stealth Rock when Tornadus-T isn't offensively pressured, but it should prioritize KOing slower wallbreakers that threaten it like Nidoking and Hydreigon if they are on the field. Use Knock Off to safely remove items whenever possible, such as removing Gastrodon's Leftovers to break through it more easily and Keldeo's Choice Specs to wall it more reliably. It is best to avoid unnecessary residual damage from walls it can't break, such as Mantine, so it can stay as healthy as possible throughout the match with Regenerator. U-turn can be used very liberally to gain momentum off of switches, since Flying has an excellent defensive and offensive core to fall back on. Take advantage of Regenerator by switching Tornadus-T in to scout what sets weak defensive Pokemon are running, such as seeing if a Swampert is carrying Toxic. It can also be worth aggressively switching Tornadus-T into passive Stealth Rock users like Celebi, since Tornadus-T can put itself in an advantageous situation by either removing entry hazards or gaining Regenerator recovery. Be careful when using Tornadus-T's Z-Move, as your opponent may try to bring in something that resists it or shrugs it off with ease. If possible, save it until it is absolutely needed to remove a threat or the opponent has nothing to comfortably switch into it. Tornadus-T can serve as a good Will-O-Wisp switch-in, since it doesn't care about the minor residual damage nearly as much as other teammates such as Zapdos or Celesteela. However, it should avoid paralysis at all costs, since the lowered Speed makes it far less effective at pivoting. Team Options Tornadus-T provides great utility with U-turn, Knock Off, and Defog, combined with solid offensive presence with Flyinium Z, making it a solid choice for many Flying teams. Zapdos can deal with bulky Water-types such as Toxapex and Mantine, alleviating pressure from Tornadus-T, as well as act as a switch-in for Electric-types like Zap Plate Tapu Koko. Zapdos also is able to run other sets such as Substitute + Toxic due to Tornadus-T taking the role of a Defogger. Gliscor serves as an effective stallbreaker using Taunt that can take on many defensive threats Tornadus-T can't easily muscle past, such as Chansey and Ferrothorn, and it can switch into and offensively threaten Electric types like Magnezone and Alolan Raichu. Gliscor can also form a U-turn core with Tornadus-T to constantly pressure the opponent as they switch, as well as Defog to make both itself and Tornadus-T very hard to wear down when paired with their strong defensive abilities in Poison Heal and Regenerator. Mantine serves as a great blanket check to special attackers and switch-in to Ice- and Water-type attacks from threats such as Greninja and Keldeo and as a strong defensive Defogger, forming a strong entry hazard removal core with Tornadus-T. Mantine also can use Haze against priority users like Mega Scizor and Z-Belly Drum Azumarill that blow past Tornadus-T after boosts. Skarmory and Celesteela can take on Rock-types like Mega Diancie that easily switch into Tornadus-T. Skarmory can also chip threats like Alolan Muk with Stealth Rock that try to switch into Tornadus-T, whereas Celesteela can situationally provide it with extra recovery with Leech Seed. Mega Aerodactyl and Choice Scarf Landorus-T are good offensive partners for Tornadus-T, since they appreciate Tornadus-T's ability to deal with Mega Venusaur and weaken teams so they can clean late-game. Tornadus-T synergizes even better with them if it runs Heat Wave, letting it break many defensive Steel-types like Skarmory that the former two struggle with. Landorus-T and Mega Aerodactyl can both deal with Heatran for Tornadus-T, which otherwise easily switches into most of its sets. Landorus-T can form a U-turn core with Tornadus-T, while Mega Aerodactyl can trap threats like Victini with Pursuit. Thundurus-T serves as an offensive pivot for Electric-types with Choice Scarf and can threaten teams more effectively thanks to Tornadus-T's ability to deal with Mega Venusaur. Dragonite appreciates Tornadus-T's ability to preserve its Multiscale with Defog. In exchange, it can use Dragon Dance or Choice Band to deal with defensive threats like Mantine and Tyranitar, which can otherwise wall Tornadus-T, as well as pick off fast threats like Greninja with Extreme Speed.

Moves Hurricane OHKOes Tomohawk, Pyroak, Mega Venusaur, Keldeo, and +1 Aurumoth and 2HKOes Unaware Clefable, Mega Scizor, and tank Garchomp. U-turn allows Tornadus-T to pivot out and take advantage of Regenerator, which mitigates Life Orb recoil. Knock Off removes foes items like Choice Scarf and Assault Vest, whose holders might otherwise force Tornadus-T out. Taunt can be used to stallbreak and prevent the foe from healing. Superpower finishes off Chansey after Knock Off and Stealth Rock damage and hits Colossoil and Heatran for large amounts of damage. Focus Blast is a good alternative, hitting most threats harder than Superpower such as Rotom-W, Krilowatt, and Cyclohm for great amounts of damage, but running two 70% accurate moves can be risky. Heat Wave is drawback free and hits Cawmodore, Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Kitsunoh harder than Superpower or Focus Blast, but it misses out on coverage against Heatran, Rotom-W, Cyclohm, Krilowatt, and Rock-types. Hidden Power Ground is an option if Tornadus-T needs to lure and KO certain threats, as it 2HKOes Crucibelle and Heatran and OHKOes Plasmanta, and if Stealth Rock is on the field, it 2HKOes Cyclohm and OHKOes Mollux. However, it is a subpar option, as Tornadus-T's other moves are much more useful. Set Details Regenerator mitigates the recoil Tornadus-T takes from Life Orb. 76 Attack EVs net a KO on Chansey with the combination of Stealth Rock damage, Knock Off, and Superpower. 252 Speed EVs and a Hasty nature maximize Tornadus-T's Speed, which allows it to Speed tie with Syclant and outpace anything slower. Hasty is used over Timid as not to compromise Superpower's damage output. If not using Superpower, an EV spread of 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe with a Timid nature should be used to maximize Tornadus-T's damage output with Hurricane and Focus Blast or Heat Wave. Knock Off and U-turn are used for utility, so Attack EVs aren't needed when not running Superpower. Usage Tips Early-game, use U-turn to keep up momentum and Knock Off to cripple foes. Make sure not to use U-turn when below 10% HP, as otherwise Life Orb recoil will knock out Tornadus-T. Later on, use Hurricane and coverage moves to knock out worn-down foes. Even though Tornadus-T has decent bulk and Regenerator, it wants to use Regenerator to heal off Life Orb recoil. Bringing Tornadus-T in with slow U-turn and Volt Switch users can keep it from being worn down easily. Hard switch if Tornadus-T will be hit with a priority attack before U-turn hits and is still useful. Removing a foe's Choice Scarf can allow Tornadus-T to outspeed the Pokemon late-game. Wear down its checks with U-turn and Knock Off until Tornadus-T can break past them with Hurricane or a coverage move; just be wary if it loses its Life Orb. Team Options To take full advantage of Tornadus-T's ability Regenerator, entry hazard removal is mandatory. Colossoil, Tomohawk, Latios, Mega Scizor, and Mollux can fulfill this role. Tornadus-T can form a VoltTurn core with Volt Switch and U-turn users such as Rotom-W, Mega Scizor, Assault Vest Colossoil, and Syclant. Tornadus-T appreciates teammates that resist its weaknesses: Assault Vest Colossoil can tank Electric- and Rock-type attacks, Rotom-W and Mega Scizor resist Ice-type attacks, and Syclant is immune to Rock-type attacks on the switch-in thanks to Mountaineer. Teammates such as Keldeo, Mega Altaria, Azumarill, and Aurumoth appreciate Tornadus-T's Knock Off to remove an unsuspecting Chansey's Eviolite. Physically defensive Pokemon such as Rotom-W, Mega Scizor, Cyclohm, and Clefable make for great teammates because Tornadus-T cannot survive strong physical attacks. Wallbreakers such as Choice Specs Volkraken, Mega Gardevoir, and Kyurem-B appreciate the momentum gained by Tornadus-T, as it can give them a free switch in. This set works particularly well on rain teams, so Politoed and Mega Swampert make for great members of a strong core with Tornadus-T taking out the Grass-type Pokemon, such as Mega Venusaur, Necturna, and Serperior, that hurt these two. In return, Mega Swampert can tank the Electric- and Rock-type moves that hurt Tornadus-T and hit hard with strong physical moves.

Moves Hurricane is Tornadus-T's most powerful STAB move, but its 70% accuracy can be a huge letdown, unless it is used in rain. U-turn allows Tornadus-T to pivot out, take advantage of Regenerator, gain momentum for its team, and wear down checks. Knock Off removes the foe's item, and removing Leftovers and Eviolite can cripple walls like Slowbro and Chansey, while removing Choice Scarf can slow down threats like Volkraken and Mollux. Heat Wave hits Steel-types that are immune to or resist Fighting-type coverage, such as Kitsunoh, Cawmodore, Scizor, and Mega Metagross. Superpower hits Heatran and Colossoil on their weaker Defense stat; however, the Attack drop prevents Tornadus-T from using the move repeatedly, while the Defense drop makes it more susceptible to physical attacks, especially because Superpower forces Tornadus-T to run a Hasty nature. However, its power is not cut in half in rain, unlike Heat Wave. Focus Blast hits Rotom-W, Cyclohm, Krilowatt, and Naviathan harder than Superpower, and it similarly does not lose power in rain. It has 70% accuracy, though, which makes it unreliable especially because Tornadus-T will have to rely on two 70% accurate moves as its primary attacking options. Hidden Power Ground 2HKOes Pokemon with a double Ground-type weakness that would normally give Tornadus-T trouble, including Mollux, Heatran, Crucibelle, and Plasmanta; it also does a decent amount of damage to Cyclohm. However, this is a weak option that should only be considered if the team needs to lure the aforementioned checks. Set Details Regenerator helps Tornadus-T recover while gaining momentum and is why Tornadus-T is so effective. It also lets Tornadus-T recover with an Assault Vest without a draining move. 252 Speed EVs and a Timid nature maximize Tornadus-T's Speed, which allows it to Speed tie with Syclant. Though it lowers the power of U-turn and Knock Off, those moves are used mostly for switching and removing items anyways. However, a Hasty nature should be used if Superpower is chosen. 160 Special Attack EVs guarantee the OHKO on Keldeo with Hurricane and the 2HKO on Mega Crucibelle with Hidden Power Ground. 96 HP EVs increase Tornadus-T's bulk, allowing it to survive powerful hits from full health, most notably Bullet Punch from +6 Cawmodore and the combination of Hurricane and Nature Power from Life Orb Tomohawk. However, Stealth Rock must be cleared in both situations, and Tornadus-T must switch into Cawmodore before or while it uses Belly Drum. Furthermore, to act as an emergency check to Cawmodore, it must run Heat Wave and a Timid nature. Usage Tips Generally, in the early-game, Tornadus-T should wear down the opponent's team with Knock Off and U-turn by switching into special attackers like Keldeo, Tomohawk, Heatran, and Aurumoth. It can clean with Hurricane and its coverage moves late-game once its checks have fainted. Generally, Tornadus-T should U-turn when it needs to recover, but it should hard switch if it will be hit with a priority attack. Knocking off a foe's Choice Scarf can allow Tornadus-T to outspeed the Pokemon late-game. At full health with a Timid Nature, it can switch into Cawmodore successfully as long as Stealth Rock is cleared from the field. Whether it has used Belly Drum or not, Cawmodore is OHKOed by Heat Wave and +6 Bullet Punch can't OHKO Tornadus-T. But if rain is in effect, Heat Wave becomes a 2HKO. Team Options Spinners, such as Tomohawk and Colossoil, and Defoggers, such as Mega Scizor, Latios, and Skarmory, can clear Stealth Rock off the field, which allows Tornadus-T to take full advantage of Regenerator's recovery. Volt Switch and U-turn users such as Rotom-W, Mega Scizor, Assault Vest Colossoil, and Syclant make for great partners to keep up momentum. Rotom-W and Mega Scizor can tank physical hits with ease and resist Ice-type attacks, Assault Vest Colossoil can absorb Electric and Rock-type attacks, and Syclant can get free switches by absorbing a Rock-type attack with Mountaineer. Teammates like Syclant, Garchomp, Cawmodore, and Mega Diancie appreciate Tornadus-T's Knock Off to remove items, such as Volkraken's Choice Scarf, so they can outspeed it late-game. Physically defensive Pokemon such as Rotom-W, Mega Scizor, Cyclohm, and Clefable make for great teammates because Tornadus-T cannot survive strong physical attacks. Wallbreakers such as Mega Gardevoir, Choice Specs Volkraken, and Mega Medicham appreciate the momentum and forced switches Tornadus-T creates.

Hurricane is Tornadus-T's most spammable move, notably allowing it to check Mega Gallade. Air Slash is an alternative option on teams that run Mega Charizard Y. U-turn and Knock Off let Tornadus-T take advantage of its ability to switch into and force out threats. This combination of moves is particularly great against Psychic teams. Knock Off's utility is especially appreciated on Flying teams, as it threatens the Normal defensive core of Porygon2 + Chansey, wastes Colbur Berry on Pokemon like Slowbro, and cripples walls with no other recovery like Bronzong and Heatran. Heat Wave covers Steel-types like Scizor, Ferrothorn, and Excadrill. The given EV spread allows Tornadus-T to outspeed threats like Raikou, Starmie, and Choice Scarf Magnezone, with the rest being put into HP and Special Defense to take full advantage of Assault Vest. Specifically, Tornadus-T is able to switch into Choice Specs Latios's Draco Meteor after Stealth Rock damage. Tornadus-T also takes any hit from a +2 Expert Belt Deoxys-S at full HP. Being a reliable pivot and a check to important threats, Tornadus-T is easy to fit on any Flying team. Defoggers like Skarmory and Zapdos make it easier to pivot with Tornadus-T. The trio also form a great defensive core. Zapdos and Tornadus-T, in particular, form a strong VoltTurn core that supports the rest of the team. Wallbreakers like Mega Charizard Y, Landorus, and Dragonite appreciate Tornadus-T's ability to bring them in safely with U-turn and cripple defensive switch-ins with Knock Off. In return, they can break through common defensive answers to Tornadus-T like Zapdos and Empoleon. Choice Scarf Landorus-T notably forms a great Knock Off + U-turn spamming core with Tornadus-T, which is powerful against Psychic teams. Mega Aerodactyl helps against other Flying teams by dealing with Pokemon like Mega Charizard Y, Thundurus, and Zapdos. Its Pursuit trapping Victini also makes it a formidable partner to Tornadus-T against Psychic. Furthermore, Mega Aerodactyl and both Landorus formes can set Stealth Rock, making Tornadus-T's pivoting with U-turn more effective. Mega Gyarados appreciates Tornadus-T's ability to bring it in safely to start its sweep. Tornadus-T's Knock Off also wastes Colbur Berry, making sure Mega Gyarados won't be surprised by any lures. Gliscor is a great stallbreaking partner that can deal with defensive answers to Tornadus-T, like Cradily and Mandibuzz, as well as Mega Garchomp. Tornadus-T appreciates Thundurus's ability to cripple faster revenge killers with Prankster Thunder Wave. The two also form a menacing VoltTurn core.
