Beware of Counter Weather

While the team is not reliant on Sun to be effective, it does appreciate it to gain useful buffs in a match. Consider using Tornadus's Sunny Day to deny opposing teams of their weather-related advantages.

Because the team is fast and offensive, Trick Room may prove to be a difficult matchup for it. Overwhelm the opposing team with damage if Tornadus is unable to Taunt the Trick Room Setter.

This team is insanely bad. Hard lose to any trick room set up. Only has one mode and not even the best at doing that mode.
