Torkoal stands out as one of the most devastating Trick Room attackers in DOU. The combination of Drought and Eruption allows Torkoal to decimate entire teams with a destructive spread attack. Its Speed and high physical bulk, meanwhile, make it difficult to contest, as only Stakataka can outrun Torkoal in Trick Room, and it also capably takes common priority attacks such as Rillaboom's Grassy Glide and Urshifu-R's sun-weakened Aqua Jet. Earth Power lets Torkoal deal with Fire-types, such as Heatran and Volcanion, which would otherwise wall it. Trick Room setters are recommended to let Torkoal comfortably attack with Eruption; Diancie is handy for also dealing with Fire-types, while Porygon2 checks Water-types, such as Tapu Fini, with Thunderbolt. Indeedee-F and Tsareena are also viable partners, as their respective abilities prevent Fake Out from slowing down Torkoal's assault.

I only have one thing to say because this overall great, but if you can (because this is close to reaching the character cap i think) and if you think its important enough to do so, try and mention how Torkoal's sun benefits its teammates, mainly diancie. Again, this is entirely up to you and you may not even have enough space for it. I just didnt feel comfortable not saying anything.
