*With a brilliant support movepool and a fantastic ability in Prankster, support Thundurus has risen up to be a Pokemon able to cause major disruption within enemy teams.

*Thunderbolt is Thundurus's STAB move of choice. Even without any Special Attack investment, it is able to deal a good amount of damage to Pokemon weak to Electric such as Tapu Fini, Celesteela, and Urshifu-R.

*Scary Face lowers the Speed of foes such as Regieleki and Venusaur, excluding those with Clear Body, such as Dragapult and Metagross; Thunder Wave can cripple such foes, with the added bonus of keeping the Speed drop after switch-out. However, it is unable to hit Ground- and Electric-types, so it shouldn't be used if your team is weak to them.

*Eerie Impulse allows Thundurus to cripple special attackers such as Tapu Fini, Celesteela, and Regieleki, especially when they're Dynamaxed.

*Taunt can stop Pokemon from setting up Trick Room, such as Porygon2 and Dusclops, or stop other Pokemon such as Tapu Fini and Rotom from setting up.
