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

Tornadus-T is a terrifying wallbreaker, especially thanks to Hurricane and Supersonic Skystrike, which make it very hard for supposed switch-ins like Gliscor and Toxapex to keep it under control. It has several options to force incremental progress and take advantage of Supersonic Skystrike's few switch-ins like Chansey, Tyranitar, and Heatran. U-turn also provides it with momentum that works well with Regenerator and escapes harder matchups against Tapu Koko and Mega Tyranitar. It can also use Taunt on weakened Pokemon like Toxapex and Chansey to prevent them from healing and shut down entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Gliscor—or, if it fails to block hazards, use Defog relatively well and threaten both setters with its powerful Hurricane. Teammates like Rotom-W and Tapu Fini appreciate the resistances Tornadus-T brings to the table, while others like Mega Scizor and Heatran patch up weaknesses. Ferrothorn and Tangrowth are especially appreciated for its troubling matchup against Tapu Koko and Rotom-W. The pressure from Supersonic Skystrike can also open up teammates like Greninja and Mega Diancie.

Tornadus-T is a terrifying wallbreaker, and this is especially complimented complemented by Hurricane and Supersonic Skystrike, making it very hard for supposed switch-ins like Gliscor and Toxapex keep up the pace vs it to keep it under control. However, there are Pokemon like Heatran and Chansey that can annoy it greatly,(AC) but Tornadus-T can reduce their longevity by removing their item with Knock Off. U-turn also provides it with momentum that works well with Regenerator and can let it escape harder matchups against Tapu Koko and Mega Tyranitar. If you thought Tornadus-T was annoying with its Flying-type onslaught, it can also use Taunt you and make it ever so hard for bulkier Pokemon to recover on it.(RP) It can also shut to prevent bulkier Pokemon (giving at least one example would be ideal) from recovering HP,(AC) as well as shutting down hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Gliscor with Taunt or if it doesn't manage to do that, it can Defog relatively well on them, while still being a scary threat. Alternatively, it can use Defog against these setters pretty comfortably while still threatening them.(AP) Teammates like Rotom-W and Tapu Fini appreciate the resistances Tornadus-T brings to the table,(AC) while others like Mega Scizor and Heatran can cover its own weaknesses,(RC) alongside helping and help it break through teams easier (how?). Ferrothorn and Tangrowth are especially appreciated for its troubling matchup against to deal with Tapu Koko and Rotom-W,(AC) which Tornadus-T has a troubling matchup against.

Tornadus-T is a terrifying wallbreaker, and this is especially complimented by Hurricane and Supersonic Skystrike, making it very hard for supposed switch-ins like Gliscor and Toxapex keep up the pace vs it. However, there are Pokemon like Heatran and Chansey that annoy it greatly but Tornadus-T can reduce their longevity by removing their item with Knock Off. This is kind of awkwardly worded. It has switch-ins but Knock Off is not the solitary way to force progress against them; instead I'd word it something like "Although not infallible, Tornadus-T has several options to force incremental progress and take advantage of Supersonic Skystrike's few switch-ins like Chansey, Tyranitar, and Heatran." then list stuff off. Doesn't have to be that verbatim but you want to list the ways in which Tornadus-T exploits those matchups in a more sequential, cohesive way that isn't spliced awkwardly. U-turn also provides it with momentum that works well with Regenerator and can let it escape harder matchups against Tapu Koko and Mega Tyranitar. If you thought Tornadus-T was annoying with its Flying onslaught, it can also Taunt you and make it ever so hard for bulkier Pokemon to recover on it. What does it block from healing, and when does it tend to Taunt? It can also shut down hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Gliscor with Taunt or if it doesn't manage to do that, it can Defog relatively well on them, while still being a scary threat with its powerful STAB. I'd really like to see mentions of Taunt against the Chansey matchup in particular, it's one of those Pokemon you can pretty readily take advantage of in the long term between hazards and just blocking recovery as a whole. Especially since it's reliant on Seismic Toss as its main form of damage you can also exploit that for a far safer switch-in and not have to worry about status and such. Teammates like Rotom-W and Tapu Fini appreciate the resistances Tornadus-T brings to the table while others like Mega Scizor and Heatran can cover its own weaknesses, alongside helping it break through teams easier. Ferrothorn and Tangrowth are especially appreciated for its troubling matchup against Tapu Koko and Rotom-W. I'm somewhat surprised to see you not mention any Pokemon that take advantage of Z-Hurricane or what it forces in ?Stuff like Kartana for example just goes ham with it especially since you're nuking stuff like Gliscor and Pex like you said, plus you make Mega Scizor and Clefable cry since it can really easily overwhelm them with back-to-back attacks.

Tornadus-T is a terrifying wallbreaker, and this is especially complemented by especially thanks to Hurricane and Supersonic Skystrike, making which make (I assume?) it very hard for supposed switch-ins like Gliscor and Toxapex to keep it under control. Although not perfect, Tornadus-T It has several options to force incremental progress and take advantage of Supersonic Skystrike's few switch-ins like Chansey, Tyranitar, and Heatran. U-turn also provides it with momentum that works well with Regenerator and can let it escape escapes harder matchups against Tapu Koko and Mega Tyranitar. It can also use Taunt on weakened Pokemon like Toxapex and Chansey to prevent them from healing (RC) It can also and shut down entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Gliscor with Taunt or if it doesn't manage to do that, it can Defog relatively well on them, while still being a scary threat with its powerful STAB. Gliscor—or, if it fails to block hazards, use Defog relatively well and threaten both setters with its powerful Hurricane. (assuming this is what you meant) Teammates like Rotom-W and Tapu Fini appreciate the resistances Tornadus-T brings to the table, (AC) while others like Mega Scizor and Heatran patch up weaknesses. Ferrothorn and Tangrowth are especially appreciated for its troubling matchup against Tapu Koko and Rotom-W. Supersonic Skystrike pressuring the aforementioned Pokemon The pressure from Supersonic Skystrike can also open up teammates like Greninja and Mega Diancie.
