That Thundurus set is actually really good so there's no reason to change it. My first thought was to add another special attacker, as Thundurus can lure in RegenVesters and Chansey and Koff their item. I chose Volcanion as its crazy good has a x4 resist to Ice, which obviously threatens Thundurus. I figured I was going to build a more offensive team, so Meloetta is kind of a necessity for offensive builds atm as it doesn't auto lose to Noivern. I then added Doublade as -Ate Lucario and birds threatens the entire team so far. It didn't need Flash Fire to also check Entei, as Volcanion does that. Thus it makes a nice Regen Core with Meloetta. I wanted priority for the last offensive threat on the team, and Entei fits really well. Volcanion can lure in Water types and FF Steels and KO them due to Tinted Lens Steam Eruption, and then Entei will generally have a field day with the rest of your opponent's team. Also, it really appreciates Meloetta being able to pivot out of Noivern/Thundurus/Latios etc. so then Entei can safely come in and KO with -Ate Speed. From here the team was really ground weak, needed hazard removal, and Scarf TTar Crunch was really threatening, so I added Togekiss to fill in these holes. It can spread Paralysis which makes Volcanion really threatening, and can shut down Volt Switch teams due to Volt Absorb. Having three immunities is really cool, and it also checks Hydreigon, which is one of the few special attackers that beat Meloetta. It seems like its a pretty good team, it has some trouble with PH Manaphy, but so does every team because its broken af. Enjoy :)
