Overview
########
It has access to Intimidate, which is very useful to lower the opposing Pokemon's attack. It has good base stats, a great Attack and a good bulk. It has access to Earthquake, Rock Slide and Explosion which are very good in this tier because they hit both the opposing Pokemon. It is also immune to Earth-Type moves.
It is weak to Ice- and Water-Type Moves which are quite common. Due to its mediocre Speed, it's often used with a Choice Item, so it's locked on a move and can't properly take advantage from its great coverage.
Choice Scarf
########
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Rock Slide / Stone Edge
move 3: U-Turn
move 4: Explosion / Stealth Rock
ability: Intimidate
item: Choice Scarf
evs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
nature: Adamant/Jolly
Moves
========
Earthquake is the best way to deal damage to both the opposing grounded Pokemon, while Rock Slide is preferred whether you can't hit the opposing Pokemon with the previous move. U-Turn is necessary because locking into a move is sometimes detrimental for Landorus-T and you don't need it. Explosion is probably the better idea to revenge-kill easily the opposing Pokemon, while Stealth Rock can give a good support if the team needs it.
Set Details
========
Choice Scarf is a great item because it allows Landorus to increase its Speed and outspeed almost all the tier. Adamant Nature is preferred to deal a bigger amount of damage. This EV Spread is used to maximize its Attack and maintain at the same time an high Speed.
Usage Tips
========
It's one of the best Lead of the whole tier thanks to Intimidate. The moves in which it'll be locked has to be chosen carefully. If Landorus-T can't cripple the opposing team, U-turn is surely the safest move to use.
Team Options
========
Mega Kangaskhan is a good teammate because Fake Out support is very useful to stop some priority moves or other attacks that can OHKO Landorus. A good partner can be a Pokemon immune to Earthquake in order to avoid damage on the ally.
Three attacks
########
name: Three attacks
move 1: Protect
move 2: Earthquake
move 3: Rock Slide / Stone Edge
move 4: Explosion
ability: Intimidate
item: Normal Gem / Earth Plate / Life Orb
evs: 4HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
nature: Jolly
Moves
========
Earthquake is the best way to deal damage to both the opposing grounded Pokemon, while Rock Slide is preferred whether it can't hit the opposing Pokemon with the previous move and Stone Edge is a more powerful alternative which hits only one of the two Pokemon. Protect is self explanatory in Doubles and it's pretty useful because it can be unexpected when you can lure a Choice item set.
Set Details
========
Jolly Nature and max speed are used to outspeed some Pokemon you couldn't with an Adamant Nature, while the item depends on what you need. Earth Plate is preferred in order to increase the damage of Earthquake, Normal Gem to get a powerful Explosion, Life Orb to increase the Base Power of all the other moves.
Usage Tips
========
Its ability Intimidate is one of the best for a lead and it can deal a good amount of damage against the opposing team thanks to its good coverage and Explosion.
Team Options
========
One of the best way to take advantage of this set is pairing Landorus-T with a Tailwind user (Togekiss and Latios are the best for this role because they can avoid Earthquake damage thanks to their typing/ability). Protect is useful on partners to avoid Explosion and EQ damage.
Other Options
########
A choice Band set to deal a bigger amount of damage. Yache or Passho Berry to deal with its most common weaknesses.
Checks & Counters
########
**Ice-Type moves**: they always OHKO Landorus-T due to x4 weakness.
**Water-Type moves and Rain Teams**: Landorus-T can't deal with this type of teams and it's pretty unuseful unless Thunder-Wave or Tailwind support.
**Amoonguss**: Landorus can't do anything except little damage against Amoonguss, while it is put to sleep.
**Cresselia**: it's probably the best counter because Landorus-T can't hit it strongly.
**Will-O-Wisp**: it reduces Landorus' attack making it a weak Sweeper.
