At a first glance, you don't really need 3 Tailwind setter. I would suggest replacing on of them with some raw power that can abuse the tailwind instead.

---

That's what I felt Tornadus was?

---

Tornadus' item?

---

I can't find one; there's no Flying Gem in Gen VI as of yet, so I don't know what to give him. :/

---

What's the name of the item that changes it's ability? Because a change from Defiant to Prankster could be off great but situational use. An opposing intimidater or icy wind user etc. switches in, Tornadus gets the attack boost, and then its ability is switched, the item is consumed, and tornadus may use acrobatics as it pleases and abuse prankster in the process. Is that right? I'm not 100% sure regarding the mechanics of that item

---

Trick Room got an amazing boost with Oblivious and Aroma Veil unable to Taunt so you have to find something that could ruin Trick Room.
Also drop Tornadus: You have 2 Ice weak already.

Sciz can tailwind, and is stronk

Whimsicott could run tr, or you could bring in a Mew.
All the other users of the two are either Arceus or Weak to Ice :<

---

@Miror: that item can only be used outside of battle, and Defiant is the hidden ability, and the capsule doesn't work for hidden abilities.
@Alpha: good point; I didn't notice that because I didn't face any Trick Room teams for some reason.
@Eevee: hmmm I'm very much considering Mew, since it's got a ton of support moves.

@ Blitz, Sharpedo only makes this team even more sensitive for Trick Room. Beside Heat Wave you also have nothing to stop a Scizor. Also Blitz, Sharpedo doesn't learn Swords Dance.

Oh. Thanks. Gonna hide it.
