- U-turn

[SET COMMENTS]
* Assault Vest is useful to win against foes that Landorus-T doesn't usually beat, like Regidrago, as it can survive a Dragon Energy and KO it back. Assault Vest can also help it survive attacks from other special attackers like Raging Bolt, non-Ice Beam Porygon-Z, and Steam Eruption from non-Choice Specs Volcanion.
* Outrage is a coverage move that helps Landorus-T against Dragon-types like Regidrago, Dragapult, and Haxorus.
* U-turn beats Hoopa-U.
* Bulldoze allows Landorus-T to lower the Speed of the opposing Pokemon, which can help against Iron Crown.
* Landorus-T's Special Defense EVs allow it to survive a Modest Choice Specs Dragon Energy from Regidrago, while the Speed EVs allow it to outspeed Jolly Regidrago and Hoopa-U. The remaining EVs are put into Defense for better rolls against Choice Band Regidrago.
* Landorus-T struggles against Pokemon that are able to OHKO it, like Ninetales-Alola and Chien-Pao, as well as Pokemon that are able to use an Ice-type coverage move like Choice item Iron Valiant and Meowscarada, and Pokemon that can tank a hit and OHKO it back like Primarina, or ones that aren't affected by any moves it can run, like Corviknight.
* Thus, Pokemon such as Iron Crown or Volcanion can be used alongside Landorus-T to cover those threats.

* Outrage is a coverage move that help Landorus-T against Dragon-types like Regidrago. U-Turn beats Hoopa-U. Bulldoze is useful against Iron Valiant as it allow Landorus-T to outspeed it or doing high damages, and not being threatened by EncoreDisable.
(okay. First of all, separate the moves into separate bullets please, it just makes everyone's job easier, second of all, you don't outspeed the standard EncDisc set after a Bulldoze so they can just encore you and do the tect>encore>tect>disable>encore dance.)
* Assault Vest is useful to win against Regidragos, as it can survive a Dragon Energy and kill KO it back. It also make it survive attacks from other Special Attackers like Steam Eruption from Volcanion not wearing a Choice Specs non-Choice Specs Volcanion, Raging Bolt and Porygon-Z.
* Landorus-T's specially dDefensive EVs allow it to survive a Modest Specs Dragon Energy from Regidrago, while the Speed EVs make it outspeed the prementionned with a Jolly nature boosting its Speed, as well as Hoopa-U. The remaining EVs are put in Defense for better odds against Choice Band Regidrago.
* Due to Intimidate, Assault Vest and a great bulk, Landorus-T can survive different moves your opponent won't expect it to survive, like Steam Eruption from Volcanion without Choice Specs or Ice Punch from Iron Hands. (very much a redundant bullet point, as you already mention it being able to survive non-boosted Steam Eruption, and you don't actually live Iron Hands' Ice Punch, -1 252+ Atk Choice Band Iron Hands Ice Punch vs. 244 HP / 24 Def Landorus-Therian: 404-476 (106.3 - 125.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO.)

(add another point detailing problem matchups for Landorus-T and possible partners if possible.)

(Add a preliminary bullet about what this set does differently than other sets; good drago matchup)
* Outrage is a coverage move that help Landorus-T against Dragon-types like Regidrago, Dragapult and Haxorus.
* U-Turn beats Hoopa-U.
* Bulldoze allow to lower the Speed of the opposing Pokemon, which can help against Moonblast Encore Disable Ninetales Alola (This doesn't win vs a-tales.) Iron Crown
* Assault Vest is useful to win against Regidrago, as it can survive a Dragon Energy and KO it back. It also make it survive attacks from other Special Attackers like Steam Eruption from non Choice Specs Volcanion, Raging Bolt(Lando-t is already a bolt beater, this isnt a unique property of av) and Porygon-Z (should mention non ice beam p-z, more on that below)
* Landorus-T specially defensive EVs allow it to survive a Modest Specs Dragon Energy from Regidrago, while the Speed EVs make it outspeed the prementioned with a Jolly nature boosting its speed, as well as Hoopa-U. The remaining EVs are put in Defense for better odds against Choice Band Regidrago.
* Landorus-T struggle against Ice-type Pokemon, like Ninetales-Alola and Chien Pao (mention corviknight, prim as well), as well as Pokémon that are able to use an Ice-type move coverage like Ice Punch Metagross or Ice Beam Porygon-Z (mentioned beating p-z in 4th point, i dont think this works as an example while in both points) (needs better examples for mons that run ice coverage; Choiced Valiant and Meowscarada are way more relevant)
* Due to the point above, you can use Pokemon such as Iron Crown or Volcanion to cover those threats
