EVs: 64 HP / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Focus Blast
- Sludge Wave
- U-turn
Choice Specs-boosted Hurricanes from Tornadus-T are a force to be reckoned with, especially on rain teams since Hurricane doesn't miss under rain. Focus Blast trashes Steel types that resist Flying like Heatran, Excadrill, and Magnezone while also hitting Tyranitar much harder. Sludge Wave hits Fairy types like Clefable and Tapu Fini while also catching Tapu Koko on the switch. U-turn is the last move, taking advantage of forced switches, Regenerator, and its great Speed. 192 Spe enables Tornadus-T to outrun Serperior while the rest of the EVs are put into HP to improve Tornadus-T's bulk while still hitting as hard as possible. Heat Wave is an option over Sludge Wave if this set is used outside of rain to deal with Celesteela and non-AV Magerna while still landing a crucial hit on Excadrill, Magnezone, Ferrothorn, and Mega Scizor.
