Thundurus-T is one of the strongest wallbreakers in the tier, boasting a massive Special Attack stat and a variety of coverage moves. Nasty Plot is its main source of pressure, letting it muscle past passive walls and RegenVest users. Focus Blast nails special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Blissey while also threatening Iron Treads. Grass Knot can be used as a more reliable option to hit Ground-types such as Garchomp and Ting-Lu, but Taunt allows Thundurus-T to beat Scream Tail, clearing a major roadblock for other setup teammates. Thundurus-T appreciates having Spikes support to pick up the OHKO on Hisuian Goodra without having to run Modest and to further weaken other RegenVest users such as Alolan Muk and Meloetta. Thundurus-T’s weakness to Stealth Rock warrants good entry hazard control, notably Quaquaval and Corviknight, which can pivot into Thundurus-T. Speed control from the likes of Hisuian Electrode and Regieleki is helpful, as Thundurus-T’s middling Speed leaves it prone to getting revenge killed.

Thundurus-Therian is one of the strongest wallbreakers in the tier, boasting a massive Special Attack stat and a variety of coverage moves. Nasty Plot is its main source of pressure, letting it muscle past passive walls and regenvesters. Thunderbolt acts as its go-to STAB option, while stab doesnt need a mention Focus Blast nails special defensive walls like Hisuian Goodra, Iron Treads, wouldnt consider treads a special wall, more of a utility pokemon and Blissey. Grass Knot can be used as a more reliable option to hit Ground types such as Garchomp, Palossand, palo is irrelevant and Ting-Lu, but Psychic allows Thundurus-Therian to hit Landorus-Therian and Clodsire. Thundurus-Therian appreciates having spike support to pick up the OHKO on Hisuian Goodra without having to run Modest, and to further weaken other regenvesters RegenVest users such as Alolan Muk and Meloetta. Thundurus-Therian’s rocks weakness to Stealth Rock warrants good hazard control, notably Quaquaval as it also covers the former’s Rock and Ice weaknesses. and Corviknight who can pivot into Thundurus-T. is there a reason that you kicked out taunt for psychic? psychic frankly doesnt hit much, clod is the only one. taunt on the other hand allows you to stall out scream tail by denying it of wish and you can remove it, allowing a teammate that appreciates its removal to break through the opponent. imo this is enough to warrant psychic's removal and taunt's readdition

Thundy-T has good Speed but isn't the fastest, would mention that it appreciates speed control support too.

You can credit Natcrozma for their check. This is honestly good to go into GP from my perspective unless UT or KarpeChan is dying to say something.
