Tornadus-Therian @ Flyinium Z
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Knock Off
- U-turn / Superpower
- Defog

Thanks to the new USM move tutors, Tornadus-T was blessed with an amazing move in Defog, allowing it to totally shut down common entry hazard setters and keep its teammates healthy by removing hazards from the field. Aside from Defog, Tornadus-T has several other attributes that allow it to function as an effective hazard remover and offensive pivot. It has a great Speed tier of 121 and a fantastic ability in Regenerator, giving it the ability to check a number of offensive Pokemon such as Kartana, Mega Medicham, and Tapu Bulu; it has good utility in Knock Off, which is used to annoy defensive Pokemon that like their item, like Celesteela, Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and especially Chansey, and when used along with U-turn or Superpower, Tornadus-T can hit Pokemon like Heatran, Tyranitar, and Bisharp hard; and it has a very key Ground-type immunity, which is a crucial factor in its role as a hazard remover, as it can comfortably come in on the the tier's most common and arguably most effective Stealth Rock setter: Defensive Landorus-T. With Flyinium Z, Tornadus-T can hit incredibly hard with Supersonic Skystrike, smashing through bulkier foes like Landorus-T, Clefable, and Mew.

put this earlier, next to the speed tier of 121 because its suuuuuuuper important. kind of a prose thing but its what makes torn-t good and you want to emphasize that

Kartana, Mega Medicham, Mega Pinsir and Keldeo

keldeos hardly relevant and you're not a great check to it anyway without AV so remove that. Also torn-t isnt rly a great pinsir check either so replace those two with bulu imo

specify defensive Landorus-T

also mention that it knocks Toxapex, but you'll have to find a careful way to word that given that Toxapex doesn't need its Black Sludge to function, but appreciates it

and add a replay at the end - check the thread on how to write a spotlight for details on how to format that
1/1
 
I feel like you could talk a bit more about how Defog made this mon a lot better cause you kinda just briefly mention it even though you also imply that's its selling point, other than that this looks fine fuck sedertz do the replay thing too ha u forgot this one sed 1/1
