Tornadus-T
tornadus and kyurem can support each other in different ways, thanks to the former's versatility.
UTILITY DEFOG
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 244 HP / 96 Def / 168 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Hurricane
- Knock Off
- U-turn
this set acts as a support to kyurem via hazard control + item removal on common switchins like many steel types (like av melmetal), slowking-g, spd clef and blissey + u-turn for easy switchins. furthermore, tornadus provides defensive counterplay to many troublesome offensive checks to kyurem, like urshifu and kartana.
NASTY PLOT
Tornadus-Therian (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 84 HP / 252 SpA / 172 Spe or 244 HP / 92 SpA / 172 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave
- Taunt / Knock Off
NASTY PLOT TORNADUS-T.
This set acts more as a kyurem offensive partner than support. as stated before, the two share similar checks and counters, like assault vest users in melmetal and slowking, spdef walls like blissey or clefable or annoying resists like heatran.
with nasty plot making tornadus-t a threat and kyurem potentially luring heatran out of the game, these two combine well offensively. taunt shuts down attempt to haze, status and/or recovery from bulkier walls, while knock off provides early game utility vs shared checks but also dedicated tornadus-t counters like zapdos and rotom-w (which kyurem devours btw). tornadus-t's speed allows it to still check urshifu and kartana even with a more offensively oriented spread.
___
having posted two sets for the same Pokémon, I wanted to showcase the extent of tornadus-t's ability to play well alongside kyurem. as for voting stuff,
I don't mind being forced to pick one if I have to. in that case, it would be nasty plot because defog is boring and obvious. I think it would be interesting to count each set as a different entry and see what people prefer.
