Landorus (M) @ Life Orb
Name: Wallbreaker (Ground)
Ability: Sheer Force

- Focus Blast

- Nasty Plot / Rock Slide

[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus is a ferocious wallbreaker on Ground teams, as it boasts great stats, a destructive ability, and a wide array of coverage moves, making it a crucial Pokemon to have in the Dark and Fairy matchups. Landorus's preferred ability, Sheer Force, in conjunction with Life Orb raises its offensive potency to great heights, allowing it to 2HKO nearly every wall in the metagame, including Ting-Lu, Rotom-W, and Corviknight with Focus Blast. Sludge Bomb hits Grass-types like Rotom-C and Breloom as well as easing the Fairy matchup alongside Iron Treads and Clodsire, while Psychic threatens Urshifu-R and Air Balloon Glimmora and pops Gholdengo's Air Balloon, (comma) as Landorus is walled by it otherwise. Nasty Plot renders Landorus completely unwallable, notably letting it OHKO Corviknight. Alternatively, Rock Slide can be used to catch Volcarona, Zapdos, and Frosmoth off guard; however, it forces Landorus to use the suboptimal Naive nature and should only be used if teammates don't have answers for the listed targets. Substitute is a great option on Landorus because of the amount of switches it forces as well as making Kingambit's Sucker Punch easier to outplay.

Landorus appreciates Water Absorb Clodsire and Storm Drain Gastrodon switching into Water-type Pokemon like Barraskewda, Walking Wake, and Basculegion-F. Choice Scarf Great Tusk threatens Pokemon with Ice-type coverage like Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Greninja. Iron Treads provides support in the Fairy matchup and provides pivoting with Volt Switch, luring switch-ins like Corviknight and Volcarona for Landorus to take advantage of. Furthermore, Iron Treads removes Stealth Rock with Rapid Spin and enhances Landorus's wallbreaking with Knock Off, removing recovery items like Leftovers and Black Sludge from Rotom-W and Amoonguss. Additionally, Choice Scarf Iron Treads is a great asset in the Fairy matchup and threatens Ice-types like Chien-Pao and Baxcalibur. Sandy Shocks is a great teammate in the Flying and Water matchups, providing Gravity support and additional pivoting with Volt Switch. Quagsire is able to check Chien-Pao and Baxcalibur as well as providing entry hazards and chip damage with Toxic. Ting-Lu provides entry hazards and phazing to wear down the opponent's team for Landorus and appreciates the removal of Fighting-types. Ursaluna can switch into Ghost-type moves from faster opponents like Dragapult, Flutter Mane, and Hisuian Zoroark as well as aiding in heavily denting teams alongside Landorus. In return, Landorus provides a Fighting-type resistance and threatens Fighting-types with Psychic.

Landorus is a ferocious wallbreaker on Ground teams; boasting great stats, a destructive ability, and a wide array of coverage moves. Landorus' preferred ability, Sheer Force, in conjunction with Life Orb raises its offensive potency to great heights, allowing it to 2HKO nearly every wall in the metagame. Focus Blast threatens walls like Ting-Lu, Rotom-W, and weakened Corviknight (with nasty plot, it could bust through this at +2). Sludge Bomb hits Grass-types like Hisuian Lilligant, Zarude (both faster, and has something for Lando), and Breloom as well as eases the Fairy matchup alongside Iron Treads and Clodsire, while Psychic threatens Urshifu-R, Air Balloon Glimmora Sneasler, and Iron Valiant (you probably dont want to fight this guy, it pops Gholdengo's balloon though, otherwise, which walls you with an intact balloon). Nasty Plot boosts Landorus' already great Special Attack stat to ridiculous levels, rendering it to be completely unwallable. Alternatively, Rock Slide can be used to catch Volcarona, Zapdos, and Frosmoth off guard.

Landorus appreciates Clodsire and Gastrodon switching into Water-type Pokemon like Barraskewda, Walking Wake, and Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott (if they're water absorb/storm drain anyway. Scarf H.Sam is a bit iffy tho, swap it for someone). Choice Scarf Great Tusk threatens Pokemon like Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Greninja (So pokemon with Ice coverage?). Iron Treads provides support in the Ice matchup(non-existent type, Fairy would be preferred) and provides pivoting with Volt Switch, luring switch-ins like Ting-Lu (gets Voltblocked though? Treads does spin and knock off stuff) and Volcarona into Landorus. Ting-Lu provides entry hazards and phazing to wear down the opponent's team for Landorus and appreciates the removal of Fighting-types. (move ting-lu lower) Sandy Shocks is a great teammate into the Flying and Water matchups, providing Gravity and additional pivoting with Volt Switch. Quagsire is able to check Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Ice Punch Iron Valiant (Ice Punch would be CB, and CC is dangerous) as well as provides entry hazards and chip damage with Toxic. (Add ursaluna too imo)

Landorus is a ferocious wallbreaker on Ground teams; boasting great stats, a destructive ability, and a wide array of coverage moves (this is honesty hollow, since well, "so what", what does it do for ground). Landorus' preferred ability, Sheer Force, in conjunction with Life Orb raises its offensive potency to great heights, allowing it to 2HKO nearly every wall in the metagame. Focus Blast threatens walls like Ting-Lu, Rotom-W, and Corviknight.(you can merge this sentence to the one above it) Sludge Bomb hits Grass-types like Rillaboom, Rotom-C, and Breloom as well as eases the Fairy matchup alongside Iron Treads and Clodsire, while Psychic threatens Urshifu-R, Air Balloon Glimmora, and pops Gholdengo's Air Balloon as Landorus is walled by it otherwise. Nasty Plot boosts Landorus' already great Special Attack stat to ridiculous levels, rendering it to be completely unwallable (doesnt it outright OHKO Corv at +2?). Alternatively, Rock Slide can be used to catch Volcarona, Zapdos, and Frosmoth off guard. (Add substitute, as this allows Landorus to take advantage of forced switches and win vs Kingambit)

Landorus appreciates Water Absorb Clodsire and Storm Drain Gastrodon switching into Water-type Pokemon like Barraskewda, Walking Wake, and Basculegion-F.

Great job! My only comment would be to specify that running Rock Slide is awkward because it forces Lando to run a suboptimal nature so it should really only be used if nothing else on the teams counters the threats you listed.
