Landorus (M) @ Choice Scarf
Name: Choice Scarf Landorus (Ground)
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe or 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest / Naive Nature
- Earth Power
- Sludge Wave
- Focus Blast / Rock Slide
- U-turn


[SET COMMENTS]
Although Landorus typically runs Sheer Force and Life Orb, Choice Scarf Landorus is a reliable form of speed control alongside its Ground-type friends. Earth Power can check Steel- and Poison-types like Archaludon and Iron Moth while also doing great neutral damage. Sludge Wave is great coverage to deal with Fairy- and Grass-types like Iron Valiant and the Ogerpon formes after minor chip damage. Focus Blast checks threatening Dark-types like Choice Specs Greninja and non-Choice Scarf Meowscarada while also hitting Steel-types like Skarmory that Earth Power can't. Rock Slide with a Naive nature is a good alternative to deal with Flying-types like Articuno and Moltres that Ground can struggle against while also checking Volcarona. U-turn allows Landorus to swap out while also checking Hoopa-U.

This style of set is typically ran on sandless Ground teams, so having a defensive partner like Quagsire is effective, as with Unaware and great Defense investment, Quagsire can take hits from threats like Urshifu-R and Belly Drum Azumarill while also providing status and entry hazard support with Toxic, Spikes, and Stealth Rock. Clodsire is Ground's best Water-immune Pokemon, so having it paired with Landorus in front of other threats like Ogerpon-W and Choice Band Barraskewda is very appreciated as an immediate switch-in. Clodsire also can spread status and set hazards to help Landorus sweep late-game as well. Gliscor can also be a great pairing with Landorus, as it has a plethora of options to either be a defensive partner, a secondary wallbreaker, or an additional status and hazard spreader with reliable recovery thanks to Poison Heal and Toxic Orb along with Protect to scout for Choice-locked users. Iron Treads effectively pairs well with Landorus, as not only can it take Ice-type hits reliably, but it also provides hazard removal with Rapid Spin. Mixed Garchomp complements Landorus as well, as it has access to hazards while also being a reliable check to Dragon-types like Kyurem and Hydreigon with Life Orb Draco Meteor as well as Corviknight with Fire Blast. Great Tusk is an alternative defensive switch-in that has access to hazard removal with Rapid Spin; it can also remove items with Knock Off from faster Choice-locked Pokemon like Meowscarada. Mamoswine pairs as a secondary wall-breaker: although it is slower, it can utilize a Choice Band to defeat Flying-types that threaten Great Tusk like Tornadus-T and Gliscor while also dealing great damage to the Steel / Flying types like Corviknight and Skarmory. Mamoswine is also a great switch-in to Flying teams that use Articuno, thanks to its neutrality to Ice and ability Thick Fat.

Although Landorus typically run Sheer Force and Life Orb, Choice Scarf Landorus can be used effectively as a reliable form of speed control alongside its Ground-type friends. Earth Power is a reliable STAB move that can check Steel- and Poison- types like Archaludon and Toxapex Iron Moth while also doing great damage to neutral types. Sludge Wave is great coverage to deal with Fairy and Grass type's like Iron Valiant and the Ogerpon Formes. Focus Blast checks threatening Dark- types like Choice Specs Greninja and non Choice Scarf Meowscarada, while also hitting Steel- types like Skarmory in which Earth Power can't. Rock Slide is a good alternative move to deal with Flying- types like Articuno and Moltres that Ground can struggle against (Add Volc mention). U-Turn is a great form of pivot, allowing Landorus to swap out and gain momentum against incoming threats it may not be able to fully remove.

This style of set is typically ran on sand-less Ground teams, so having a Defensive partner like Quagsire pairs effectively as with Unaware and great Defense investment can Quagsire take hits from threats like Urshifu-Rapid-Strike and Belly Drum Azumarill while also providing Status and Hazard support with Toxic, Spikes, and Stealth Rocks depending on which one you choose. Clodsire is Ground's best Water immunity, so having it paired with Landorus in front of other threats like Ogerpon-Wellspring and Choice Band Barraskewda is very appreciated as a immediate swap in. Clodsire also can spread status and set hazards to help Landorus sweep late game as well. Gliscor can also be a great pairing with Landorus as it has a plethora of options to either be a Defensive partner, a secondary wall-breaker, or additionally spread status and hazards with reliable recovery with Poison Heal and Toxic Orb along with Protect to scout for Choice-locked users. Iron Treads effectively pairs well with Landorus as not only can it take Ice- type hits reliably, but it also provides hazard removal with Rapid Spin. Add Garchomp, Great Tusk, and Mamoswine.
I wanna look this over once implemented, ping when done. Also for Revamps its only 1 check Vira, not 2.

Just want to point out a couple of errors to keep in mind for next time:
- When you are doing the hyphenated "X-type(s)" format, there is no space between the hyphen and "type." So "Steel-type," not "Steel- type"
- Playstyles (e.g., offense, stall, balance, hyper offense) and their corresponding adjectives are not capitalized. The most common one here was a capitalized "Defensive."

Thanks!
