- U-turn
- Heat Wave
- Knock Off

[SET COMMENTS]
Using the Assault Vest in combination with Regenerator makes Tornadus-T a good pivot as well as a stellar blanket check and scout to most special attackers such as Iron Valiant, Tapu Lele, and Terapagos. Its excellent Speed tier also means Tornadus-T can revenge kill threats such as Ogerpon-W, unboosted Roaring Moon, and Iron Valiant lacking Booster Energy. Bleakwind Storm is preferred for its greater accuracy compared to Hurricane and not being hindered by Mega Charizard Y’s sun, but Hurricane can be considered for its greater power, especially on rain teams, as it can OHKO Ogerpon-W after Stealth Rock. U-turn maintains momentum for wallbreakers such as Tapu Lele and Hisuian Samurott. Heat Wave hits a plethora of Steel-types such as Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Ferrothorn. Knock Off allows Tornadus-T to force meaningful progress against balance structures, removing important items from Toxapex, Ting-Lu, Heatran, and Terapagos. The given EVs allow Tornadus-T to outspeed unboosted Roaring Moon while netting a 2HKO on offensive Kingambit.

Tornadus-T can fit on both balance and offensive teams. Wallbreakers such as Raging Bolt and Ogerpon-W appreciate Tornadus-T giving them free entry against foes like Toxapex and Gliscor via U-turn while switching in on revenge killers such as Iron Valiant and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Pokemon like Toxapex and Slowbro form good Regenerator cores with Tornadus-T, as they, combined with Tornadus-T, can constantly switch back and forth against passive foes such as Ferrothorn and utility Gliscor. Entry hazard removal such as Terapagos, Great Tusk, and Landorus-T ease Tornadus-T’s Stealth Rock weakness, meaning it can more easily gain Regenerator recovery. Steel-types such as Heatran and bulky Gholdengo can stop Tornadus-T in its tracks, so partners like Garchomp and Mega Lopunny are solid teammates, especially because Tornadus-T can pivot them in against these foes. Pursuit users like Mega Tyranitar and Weavile are able to trap Tornadus-T and hinder its ability to consistently check foes like Iron Valiant, so insurance against these Pokemon like Zamazenta and Toxapex is appreciated. Teammates such as Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn also appreciate Tornadus-T removing Heavy-Duty Boots from Toxapex and Alomomola, allowing their hazards to affect them and effectively checking threats such as Iron Valiant and Great Tusk. In return, they stop dangers to Tornadus-T such as Raging Bolt and Zapdos. Finally, Tornadus-T can form VoltTurn cores with Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Iron Crown, which help keep up momentum and rack up chip damage alongside Tornadus-T.

Using the Assault Vest in combination with Regenerator makes Tornadus-T a good pivot along with being a stellar blanket check and scout to most special attackers such as Iron Valiant, Dragapult, and Terapagos. Its excellent speed tier also means Tornadus-T can revenge kill threats such as Ogerpon-W, unboosted Roaring Moon, and Iron Valiant lacking Booster Energy. Bleakwind Storm is the preferred STAB move for its greater accuracy compared to Hurricane and not being hindered by Mega Charizard Y’s sun, but Hurricane can be considered for its general greater power, especially on rain teams. U-turn maintains momentum for wallbreakers such as Tapu Lele and Hisuian Samurott. Heat Wave hits a plethora of Steel-types such as Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Ferrothorn. Knock Off allows Tornadus-T to force meaningful progress against balanced structures, removing important items from Toxapex, Ting-Lu, Moltres, and Terapagos. The given EVs outspeed unboosted Roaring Moon while 2HKOing offensive Kingambit.

Tornadus-T can fit on both balance and offensive teams. Wallbreakers such as Raging Bolt and Ogerpon-W appreciate Tornadus-T pivoting on Pokemon like Toxapex and Gliscor while switching in on revenge killers such as Dragapult and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Pokemon like Toxapex and Hydrapple form good Regenerator cores with Tornadus-T, as they, combined with Tornadus-T, constantly switch back and forth against passive foes such as Ferrothorn and utility Gliscor. Entry hazard removal such as Terapagos and Great Tusk Mention Defog Lando asw ease Tornadus-T’s Stealth Rock weakness, meaning it can easily gain Regenerator recovery. Teammates such as Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn also appreciate Tornadus-T removing Heavy-Duty Boots from Toxapex and Alomomola, allowing their hazards to affect them, while being able to effectively check threats such as Iron Valiant and Great Tusk.

this is a phenomenal analysis however a couple things I want to suggest I think Heatran deserves a mention here somewhere as it does commonly switch into this set. Also since this set lacks Focus Blast it can be Pursuit trapped especially by Mega Tyranitar so be sure to mention that. Also mention the EVs since it isn’t max speed. Lastly, be sure to mention its other Volt-turn teammates as it fits well on those structures as well.

Its excellent speed tier also means Tornadus-T can revenge kill threats such as Ogerpon-W, unboosted Roaring Moon, and Iron Valiant lacking Booster Energy. Bleakwind Storm is the preferred STAB move for its greater accuracy compared to Hurricane and not being hindered by Mega Charizard Y’s sun, but Hurricane can be considered for its general greater power, especially on rain teams. Might be worth mentioning a specific calc here, especially bc this torn isnt fully invested U-turn maintains momentum for wallbreakers such as Tapu Lele and Hisuian Samurott. Heat Wave hits a plethora of Steel-types such as Gholdengo, Kingambit, and Ferrothorn. Knock Off allows Tornadus-T to force meaningful progress against balanced structures, removing important items from Toxapex, Ting-Lu, Moltres, and Terapagos. Might want to replace one of these with Heatran since this is the best you do vs it The given EVs outspeed unboosted Roaring Moon while netting a 2HKO offensive Kingambit.

Tornadus-T can fit on both balance and offensive teams. Wallbreakers such as Raging Bolt and Ogerpon-W appreciate Tornadus-T pivoting on Pokemon like Toxapex and Gliscor kinda gp but consider saying tornt gives free entry on glisc/pex for these guys, rn it seems a bit confusing while switching in on revenge killers such as Iron Valiant and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Pokemon like Toxapex and Hydrapple form good Regenerator cores with Tornadus-T, as they, combined with Tornadus-T, constantly switch back and forth against passive foes such as Ferrothorn and utility Gliscor. Entry hazard removal such as Terapagos, Great Tusk, and Landorus-T ease Tornadus-T’s Stealth Rock weakness, meaning it can easily gain Regenerator recovery. Steel-types such as Heatran and bulky Gholdengo can stop Tornadus-T in its tracks, so partners like Garchomp and Mega Lopunny are solid partners, especially because Tornadus-T can pivot them in against these foes. Pursuit users like Mega Tyranitar and Weavile are able to trap Tornadus-T and hinder its ability to consistently come in and check foes like Iron Valiant, so insurance against these Pokemon like Zamazenta and Toxapex is appreciated. Teammates such as Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn also appreciate Tornadus-T removing Heavy-Duty Boots from Toxapex and Alomomola, allowing their hazards to affect them, while being able to effectively check threats such as Iron Valiant and Great Tusk.

Finally, Tornadus-T can form VoltTurn cores with Pokemon like Tapu Koko and Iron Crown, which help keep up momentum and rack up chip damage alongside Tornadus-T. Slowbro may be worth a mention as well, either here or in the regenerator section
