Gouging Fire and Tornadus is a strong lead option, with Tornadus setting up all the necessary conditions for Gouging Fire to sweep.

Walking Wake can also benefit from Sun, while Rillaboom can come in, provide Fake Out support, or clean up low HP Pokemon.

Walking Wake and Iron Hands offer a straightforward lead for the team, with Fake Out support from Iron Hands, and Walking Wake's offense.

Rillaboom once again is a reliable anchor for late in the game, as well as Flutter Mane, who can sweep through teams if they have run out of Priority options.

Walking Wake, Flutter Mane, and Rillaboom all have offensive Teras, which they can use to boost their STAB moves and score decisive KOs.

Terastallize Defensively

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.
