[SET]
Life Orb (Landorus) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Earth Power
- Sludge Wave
- Smack Down
- Nasty Plot
[SET COMMENTS]
- Life Orb unlocks the full potential of Landorus' Sheer Force ability, as its damaging recoil is negated by the ability, while maintaining the 30% base power boost to moves with secondary effects.
- Earth Power is Landorus' primary STAB move, handling Steel-types like Metagross and Iron Crown, Electric-types such as Raging Bolt and Iron Hands, as well as common Poison-types such as Sneasler and non-Air Balloon Pecharunt.
- Sludge Wave allows Landorus to gain its best match-up into Grass-types such as Rillaboom and non-Kebia Berry Serperior, as well as Fairy-types such as Primarina and non-Ice move Iron Valiant. It should be noted, however, that none of these are entirely consistent.
- Smack Down allows Landorus to negate the Ground-type immunity of Flying-types such as Corviknight and Zapdos, as well as common Air Balloon Pokemon like Heatran. It further has a chance to OHKO Volcaronas with no defensive investment.
- Nasty Plot gives Landorus consistency into Weakness Policy Iron Crown, and allows it to keep up with Air Balloon Registeel's Amnesia Boosts.
- Landorus has a great advantage against many top tier Pokemon, including all Steel Types, Electric Types, Fire-types and Poison-Types. This lets it serve as a strong glue to use alongside partners such as Meowscarada and Primarina, which help mitigate its weaknesses to prevalent Water-types, such as Manaphy, and Dragon-types, such as Walking Wake and Roaring Moon.
