Potential Sets:

Bulky Defogger:

Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Knock Off
- Superpower/U-Turn/Hammer Arm/Focus Blast
- Hurricane

With only HP Investment, Torn-T can take hits well. The defog set usually runs Defog, U-Turn, Hurricane and coverage for rock and steels, OR Knock-Off. Heat wave hits ferro and slash, but fblast hits all other steels and also rocks, While Knock-Off is nice for utility.

Nasty Plot:
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave/U-Turn/Knock Off
- Focus Blast/U-Turn/Knock Off/Superpower

The first moves are the ones i prefer, but all of them are viable. Focus Blast+Heat Wave+Hurricane is usually good enough, But superpower is nice for special walls and the utility moves are always nice to have

Full Support: (Physical Version)
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Defog
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Superpower

This torn-t set is completely supportive. Defog is always nice, U-turn is good, Item Displacement is almost neccesary it this meta to wear down bulky cores with hdb spam, and superpower is nice coverage

Full Support:(Mixed/Special Version)
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Defog
- U-turn
- Knock Off/Heat Wave/Focus Blast/Superpower
- Hurricane

This set is the physical version with special attacks, sometimes mixed though. Usually this version of the utility set is ran on rain teams.(from my experience)
