Bulky Pivot (Landorus-Therian) @ Sitrus Berry / Safety Goggles
Ability: Intimidate

[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T serves as a strong, bulky attacker that supports its teammates with its fantastic ability Intimidate, which can be devastating for physical attackers like Iron Hands and Ogerpon-H. Taunt can stop Incineroar's Parting Shot and Amoongus's Spore, setup sweepers like Iron Hands and Ogerpon-W, and Trick Room users like Diancie and Porygon2. Sitrus Berry increases Landorus-T's longevity, while Safety Goggles helps against Spore. The given EV spread lets Landorus-T outspeed Deoxys-A in Tailwind and survive Freeze-Dry from Choice Specs Iron Bundle after Terastallizing and a critical hit-boosted Draco Meteor from Raging Bolt. Landorus-T struggles against super effective moves from Pokemon like Chien-Pao, Ogerpon-W, and Walking Wake without Terastallizing. Tera Water removes Landorus-T's Ice weakness, which can be helpful against Chien-Pao and Iron Bundle. Tera Grass is an alternative that can help against Water-types like Ogerpon-W and let Landorus-T ignore Sleep Powder and Rage Powder from Hisuian Lilligant and Sinistcha, respectively.

Notable Partners
================
**Other Defensive Pokemon**: Other defensive Pokemon like Incineroar, Tornadus, and Amoonguss can be good teammates for Landorus-T, as they form good defensive backbones with it. Additionally, Incineroar makes a double Intimidate core, which neutralizes most physical attackers, with Landorus-T; Tornadus provides Prankster-boosted Stealth Rock and speed control with Tailwind; and Amoonguss shares Regenerator.
**Bulky Setup Pokemon**: Bulky setup Pokemon such as Nasty Plot Gholdengo and Dragon Dance Dragonite appreciate the presence of Landorus-T, as it can help increase their survivability with Intimidate and help them secure KOs with entry hazards.

Landorus-T serves as a strong bulky attacker in the tier that can support its teammates with its great ability Intimidate, its good supporting moves in Taunt and Stealth Rock, and its good bulk. Feel like just mentioning the potency of Intimidate is what makes it even better. Taunt can stop setup sweepers (Yeah I suppose, but not even mentioning something like Incineroar's Parting Shot, Amoonguss's Spore here feels like a missed opportunity. If you're mentioning this at all, it absolutely shouldn't be first billed. (can you be first billed in an analysis??)) like Iron Hands and Kingambit (If you're using the Landorus-T to shut down Kingambit, something probably went wrong given it has Defiant), it also helps against Trickroom Trick Room users like Diancie and Porygon2. Protect can be used instead to stop getting double targetted. (Generally not worth mentioning Protect, we know what Protect does) Sitrus Berry helps increase Landorus-T's longevity, while Safety Goggles helps against Amoonguss (Even more important in PiC to mention the moves it gets through, because they can be shared. You're not just protecting yourself from Amoonguss, you're protecting yourself specifically from its Spore which can be passed). This given EV spread lets Freeze-Dry from Choice Specs Iron Bundle after Tera Water Terastallizing, and lives a critical hit Draco Meteor from Raging Bolt. Landorus-T struggles against super effective Pokemon like Chien-Pao, Ogerpon-W, and Walking Wake, which overwhelm it easily (Except it walls at least 2 at a time by Terastallizing?). Tera Water can removes Landorus-T's Ice-type weaknesses which can be helpful against Chien-Pao and Iron Bundle, however it can leave it vulnerable to Spore if not running Safety Goggles. (It is already vulnerable to Spore if not running Safety Goggles?) Tera Grass is an alternative that can help against Water-types like Ogerpon-W, it can also help against Spore and Rage Powder from Amoonguss. (Seems like you've mentioned Amoonguss a bunch, Sinistcha and Lilligant-H exist for Powder move mentions too.)

Notable Partners
================
**Psychic Terrian users**: Psychic Terrian users like Deoxys-A can appreciate Landorus-T as partners, being able to pivot them in safely due to there terrible bulk (So what, just every frail attacker basically?)
**Other defensive Pokemon**: Other defensive Pokemon like Incineroar, Tornadus, and Amoonguss can be good teammates for Landorus-T, providing it with Fake Out support, speed control with Tailwind, and redirectional support alongside Regenerator respectively. In return, Landorus-T can help increase its partner's longevity and give them more utility support. (This comes across quite wordy, and kinda just non-specific. It forms good defensive backbones, but generally the output with multiple bulky supports can suffer so zooming in on why these do well on the team together is nice. e.g. Prankster Stealth Rock + speed control, double Intimidate cores neutralising most physical attackers, Regenerator on something that loves to pivot)
**Bulky Setup Pokemon**: bulky setup Pokemon such as Nasty Plot Gholdengo and Dragon Dance Dragonite appreciate having the presence of Landorus-T, as it can help to extend their longevity and help them secure KOes with entry hazards. (Mentioning Intimidate here is best, because that's inevitably why they like it, "extending longevity" doesn't feel quite right as that generally implies healing, whereas survivability etc. are for damage mitigation like Intimidate)

The Speed EVs let Landorus-T outspeed Deoxys-A in Tailwind. Landorus-T struggles against super effective Pokemon (Probably a point for GP more than me, but I find saying "super effective Pokemon a little strange cause it's moves not the Pokemon. Might just be me.) like Chien-Pao, Ogerpon-W, and Walking Wake, (RC) without using its tera Terastallizing, (AC) letting them overwhelm it easily. Tera Water removes Landorus-T's Ice-type weaknesses which can be helpful against Chien-Pao and Iron Bundle. Tera Grass is an alternative that can help against Water-types like Ogerpon-W, it can also help against Spore and Rage Powder from Hisuian Lilligant and Sinstcha. (Hisuian Lilligant doesn't learn Spore. Also more on the point from "It can help", probably should be its own sentence or have a proper conjunction to make sense here e.g. "can help against Water-types... and ignore Sleep Powder and Rage Powder from Hisuian Lilligant and Sinistcha, respectively.")
