[SET COMMENTS]
By wielding a Choice Scarf, Landorus can forgo its wallbreaking capabilities and become a fearsome revenge killer that disposes of numerous threats to Ground teams. Sludge Wave takes out Ogerpon-W after minor chip damage and revenge kills would-be faster Fairy-types like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant, making Landorus a menace in the Fairy matchup. With Psychic, Landorus outspeeds and does hefty damage to nuisances like Urshifu-R, Great Tusk, and boosted Kommo-o. Psychic also lets Landorus snipe Mega Venusaur, safely 2HKOing it on the switch in. U-turn nails Celebi and takes utmost advantage of the switches Landorus forces, letting it gather momentum should it face a bad matchup. In tandem with a Naive nature, Rock Slide can answer +1 Volcarona and deal sizable damage to Flying-types like Zapdos and Mega Charizard Y. As this Landorus variant is more focused around revenge killing, wallbreakers like mixed Mega Garchomp, Choice Band Mamoswine, and Nidoking are essential partners, because they handle otherwise-annoying walls such as Skarmory, Gliscor, and Corviknight. Gastrodon and Clodsire switch into Water-type moves for Landorus and also improve its cleaning potential by laying down either Spikes or Stealth Rock. Sand Rush Excadrill takes down faster Pokemon like Deoxys-S and Choice Scarf Meowscarada when under sand, composing a powerful revenge killing core with Landorus.

daaaaaaaamn this was beautifully written, just a few comments:

- Sludge wave does not cleanly OHKOes Waterpon, it is a pretty shitty roll to OHKO 252 SpA Sheer Force Landorus Sludge Wave vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Ogerpon-Wellspring: 256-302 (85 - 100.3%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO I would say after chip.

- this is more of a nitpicky, i would also mention unboosted on Iron Valiant since on fairy comps it gets the speed boost from e terrain from Koko but thats up to you to include it or not

- I would remove Keldeo and add in Great Tusk, yeah we do big dmg vs it but we dont ko it and it just always OHKOes us, i would always rather Clodsire to deal with Keldeo.

QC 1/2 :Arcanine:

By wielding a Choice Scarf, Landorus can forgo its wallbreaking capabilities and become a fearsome revenge killer that disposes of numerous threats to Ground teams instead. Sludge Wave takes out Ogerpon-W after minor chip, and revenge kills would-be faster Fairy-types like Choice Scarf Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant, making Landorus a menace in the Fairy matchup. Psychic further augments Landorus's utility, outspeeding and doing hefty damage to nuisances like Urshifu-R, Great Tusk, and boosted Kommo-o. It also allows Landorus to snipe Mega Venusaur, safely 2HKOing it on the switch. U-turn nails Celebi, and takes utmost advantage of the switches Landorus forces, allowing momentum to be gathered should it face a bad matchup. Rock Slide may be considered as a way to answer +1 Volcarona and deal sizable damage to Flying-types like Zapdos and Mega Charizard Y. (Over which moveslot? Should be mentioned in the set above especially since Naive was put as the main nature solely because of Rock Slide, otherwise this part could just be removed) As this Landorus variant is more focused around revenge killing, wallbreakers like mixed Mega Garchomp, Choice Band Mamoswine, (remove the comma after Mamoswine) and Nidoking are essential partners, because they handle walls that otherwise annoy the type such as Skarmory, Gliscor, and Corviknight well. Gastrodon and Clodsire switch into Water-type moves for Landorus and also improve its cleaning potential by laying down either Spikes or Stealth Rock. Sand Rush Excadrill takes down faster Pokemon like Deoxys-Speed and Choice Scarf Meowscarada when under sand, composing a powerful revenge killing core with Landorus.
