Thundurus-Therian @ Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Electroweb
- Psychic
- Sludge Bomb
- Thunderbolt/Thunder

Ahhh Thundurus, my favorite of the wheather trio. (No enamarous doesn’t exist) This mon works quite well on a rain team if you choose thunder over thunderbolt. Electro web is for utility, psychic and sludge bomb is for coverage, and Thunder(bolt) is for primary damage. This is an amazing pivot against electric types because of its ability, Volt Absorb.

Offensive Doubles UU Set

Thundurus-Therian (M) @ Wide Lens
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Wildbolt Storm
- Focus Blast
- Volt Switch
- Protect

I use this set for DUU paired with a Kilowattrel knowing Discharge and Tailwind.

First, some people might not like the fact that I put Wide Lens on Thundurus-T. However, with the low-accuracy, hard-hitting moves that I have on my Thundurus, it really helps. If you don't want to run Wide Lens, I say you swap out Wildbolt Storm for Thunderbolt and Focus Blast with Flash Cannon, and have Life Orb. But let's look into my own set.

I use Wildbolt Storm as a STAB spread move that hits hard. My own set functions heavily off of Kilowattrel, however, which has Hurricane to fill out Flying Type. Focus Blast is coverage against Rock and Ice. Volt Switch lets it swap if a resistant or a specially defensive Pokemon is sent out by your opponent. And of course, Protect is Protect. I use it while Kilowattrel sets up Tailwind.

I highly recommend using Kilowattrel with Thundurus-T in DUU. Here's an extra set that I use for Kilo:
