Storm doesn't seem to have a defensive mode.

I have not tried it, but lichess is open-source : so you can probably customize it for your specific use case.
More specifically modify line that allow to pick the theme https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/64b6f7966c8ed48dc90...
With one of the value given here : https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/64b6f7966c8ed48dc90...
ie : replace in stomSelector lila.puzzle.PuzzleTheme.mix.key by lila.puzzle.PuzzleTheme.defensiveMove.key and run a custom lichess as explained in the ReadMe

I play a lot of puzzles (Storm) on Lichess, and this hits hard. I can spot good attacks, but not good defences because it’s vastly underrepresented in my training.
