Paldean Tauros-F secures a niche in AAA thanks to Desolate Land, which allows it to take advantage of its powerful STAB moves, decent Speed tier, and great Attack. Raging Bull is a consistent STAB option with no drawbacks, whereas Flare Blitz provides the power necessary to 2HKO particularly sturdy foes like Ting-Lu. Earthquake lets Paldean Tauros-F hit Skeledirge, which otherwise blanks it. Paldean Tauros-F is limited by its good but not great Speed tier and bulky Fire-resistant foes like Dondozo and Gyarados, so ways to deal with its offensive and defensive counterplay are important. Fast Pokemon like Chien-Pao and Iron Moth can force out foes like Kilowattrel and Sandy Shocks. Speed control via Thunder Wave from allies like Blissey and Scream Tail is useful in deterring faster foes like Greninja. Electric-types like Rotom-W and Kilowattrel can consistently force out the sturdy Water-types that threaten Paldean Tauros-F while bringing it in on their switch-ins like Roaring Moon and Ting-Lu.
