Nasty Plot (Landorus) (SpAtk) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Poison / Steel
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Sludge Wave / Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Nasty Plot

Landorus acts as a powerful wallbreaker and late-game cleaner against defensive teams, utilizing a combination of decent Speed, excellent ability, and a decent movepool. Earth Power is Landorus's most reliable STAB move, while Sludge Wave serves as a consistent coverage option to nail targets such as Ogerpon-W and Hydrapple. Alternatively, Psychic hits Great Tusk and Zamazenta, as well as opposing Landorus. Focus Blast is a less accurate option to hit Pokemon such as Skarmory and Arceus. Lastly, Nasty Plot enables Landorus to act as a setup sweeper that can break through bulkier teams. Sheer Force synergizes well with Life Orb, granting Landorus's moves substantial boosts with no drawback. Tera Poison boosts the power of Sludge Wave, while Tera Steel is a generally good defensive Tera type that also allows Landorus to flip its weakness to Ice-type moves into a resistance. Tera Psychic can be used on sets running Psychic as a way to boost its damage output.

Landorus appreciates Gods with decent Special Attack stats such as Kyurem-W and Eternatus to amplify its damage output. Kyurem-W notably breaks Water-types like Ogerpon-W thanks to Freeze-Dry as well as Flying-types like opposing Landorus-T and Mandibuzz that Landorus can struggle against, while Landorus beats Steel-types such as Zacian-C and Iron Crown in return. Also, Landorus's bulk is average at best; therefore, having bulky pivots such as Rotom-W and Pecharunt is appreciated. Rotom-W is especially helpful, switching into the Ice- and Water-type moves that Landorus is vulnerable to. Despite having a slightly above average Speed tier, Landorus can struggle against faster threats like Meowscarada, Weavile, and Ogerpon-W, making faster teammates such as Zamazenta and Speed Booster Energy Iron Moth, as well as Sticky Web support from Araquanid, much appreciated. Lastly, entry hazard support from Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Skarmory is appreciated to chip foes into OHKO range while also disrupting Sturdy and Focus Sash.

Landorus acts as a powerful setup sweeper utilizing a combination of decent Speed, excellent Ability, and decent movepool I would switch the focus from setup sweeper to wallbreaker since Landorus is faster than most walls but sadly falls to the faster threats of the meta. Earth Power is Landorus's most spammable STAB move, while Sludge Wave serves as a consistent coverage option to nail targets such as Ogerpon-Wellspring and Arceus-Fairy. Alternatively, Psychic could can be used instead to hit Great Tusk and Zamazenta. Focus Blast is a less accurate option to hit Pokemon such as Skarmory and Arceus. Lastly, Nasty Plot enables Landorus to act as a setup sweeper that can clean through teams. Sheer Force synergizes well with Life Orb, granting Landorus's moves substantial boosts with no drawbcak drawback. Tera Poison is utilized to boost the power of Sludge Wave, while Tera Steel is a generally good defensive Tera type that also allows Landorus to flip its weakness to Ice-type moves into a resistance. Tera Psychic can be used on sets running Psychic as a way to boost its damage output. I would argue that Tera Psychic is a good mention here but disagree on it being slashed as it is not as important as the other 2.

Landorus appreciates gods Gods with decent Special Attack stats such as Kyurem-White and Eternatus to amplify its damage output. Kyurem-White notably breaks Water-types like Ogerpon-Wellspring and Hisuian Samurott thanks to Freeze-Dry and Flying-types like opposing Landorus-T and Mandibuzz that Landorus can struggle into, while Landorus breaks Steel-types such as Zacian-C and Heatran in return. Also, while Landorus' (AA) is by no means frail, it is not too bulky is average at best, thus making therefore having bulky pivots such as Rotom-Wash and Pecharunt are somewhat appreciated. Rotom-W is especially helpful, switching into the Ice- and Water-type moves that Landorus is vulnerable to. Furthermore, Landorus, despite having a decent Speed tier I would argue rewording this to "average" rather than decent especially in this generation lol, can struggle into faster threats like Meowscarada, Weavile, and Ogerpon-Wellspring, making faster teammates such as Zamazenta and Choice Scarf Kyurem-White appreciated I would also reword this to fit the "average" change above. Maybe also changing "appreciated" as well to "key to Landorus' success" or something like that. Lastly, as Landorus serves as a sweeper wallbreaker, hazard support from Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Skarmory is appreciated to chip foes into OHKO range while also disrupting breaking Sturdy and Focus Sash.

Landorus acts as a powerful wallbreaker and late-game cleaner would either take away 'late game cleaner' or add that it's a powerful cleaner against specifically more defensive teams, as a lot of teams can pretty easily outspeed and revenge kill it, making it a pretty bad cleaner usually, and would give the wrong impression on what it does utilizing a combination of decent Speed, excellent Ability, and decent movepool. Earth Power is Landorus's most spammable STAB move, while Sludge Wave serves as a consistent coverage option to nail targets such as Ogerpon-Wellspring and Arceus-Fairy would mention something else here, since fairyceus is hit pretty hard by ep anyway. probably hydrapple since it's the most common reason for why you'd run sludge wave right now. Alternatively, Psychic can be used instead to hit Great Tusk and Zamazenta. Could also mention that it's landorus-i's best move to hit opposing landorus and landorus-t, if it can be easily added. otherwise it isn't that important Focus Blast is a less accurate option to hit Pokemon such as Skarmory and Arceus. Lastly, Nasty Plot enables Landorus to act as a setup sweeper that can clean through teams. see above, would probably say that np lets it break through bulkier teams and reach a lot of ohkos Sheer Force synergizes well with Life Orb, granting Landorus's moves substantial boosts with no drawback. Tera Poison is utilized to boost the power of Sludge Wave, while Tera Steel is a generally good defensive Tera type that also allows Landorus to flip its weakness to Ice-type moves into a resistance. Tera Psychic can be used on sets running Psychic as a way to boost its damage output.

Landorus appreciates Gods with decent Special Attack stats such as Kyurem-W and Eternatus to amplify its damage output. Kyurem-White notably breaks Water-types like Ogerpon-W thanks to Freeze-Dry and Flying-types like opposing Landorus-T and Mandibuzz that Landorus can struggle into, while Landorus breaks Steel-types such as Zacian-C and Heatran in return. kyurem-w kills heatran with earth power anyway, would just say like iron crown instead and replace 'breaks' with 'beats' which is more accurate Also, Landorus' bulk is average at best, therefore having bulky pivots such as Rotom-Wash and Pecharunt is appreciated. Rotom-W is especially helpful, switching into the Ice- and Water-type moves that Landorus is vulnerable to. Furthermore, Landorus, despite having a slightly above average Speed tier, can struggle into faster threats like Meowscarada, Weavile, and Ogerpon-W, making faster teammates such as Zamazenta and Choice Scarf Kyurem-W would probably say booster speed iron moth instead of scarf kyurem-w nearly mandatory. Lastly, as Landorus serves as a wallbreaker and cleaner, this part doesn't really make sense with the main idea here, would just emphasise that hazards let lando get ohkoes more easily hazard support from Pokemon like Ting-Lu and Skarmory is appreciated to chip foes into OHKO range while also disrupting Sturdy and Focus Sash. Could also mention sticky webs, as lando-i really appreciates them and they synergise well together
