Nasty Plot Thundurus-T Rain

by MANNAT

This is an offensive rain team built around the threat of Nasty Plot Thundurus-T. Many balance and bulky offense teams rely on a combination of Ferrothorn, specially defensive Landorus-T, Assault Vest Galarian Slowking, and specially defensive Heatran to handle offensive Electric-types. Thundurus-T can easily break through these cores with the combination of its powerful STAB Thunder, rain-boosted Weather Ball, and Focus Blast. Additionally, it fills the role of an Electric immunity on rain teams, which allows you to forego a Ground-type and gives you more flexibility in filling out the rest of the team. Ferrothorn and Pelipper make up the team's defensive backbone, being able to stave off the opposing team long enough for the offensive threats on this team to do their jobs. Volcanion offers a terrifying wallbreaker with Steam Eruption under rain, and Barraskewda offers necessary Speed and cleaning ability against offensive teams. The final member of this team is Nihilego, which is an unorthodox pick for rain, but it fits quite well here for its ability to check special Electric-types and Flying-types and so that Thundurus-T can stay healthy to sweep. It sets Stealth Rock so that Ferrothorn can fit room on its set for Gyro Ball to take out the pesky Tapu Lele, and it can threaten to break through or sweep the opposing team with Power Herb + Meteor Beam. Overall, this is a very fun offensive team that can overwhelm the opponent in no time with its dangerous offensive weapons.
