[SET COMMENTS]
Fluffy makes Landorus-T a decent defensive pivot that can take hits from physical attackers such as Slither Wing, Kingambit, and Ursaluna. Stealth Rock + Smack Down makes Landorus-T a decent entry hazard setter against Corviknight, the most common hazard removal option; Smack Down also ensures that Talonflame can't use Landorus-T as setup fodder. Taunt can also be used to deny recovery to Corviknight and Scream Tail and setup opportunities to foes, such as Talonflame and Roaring Moon. Landorus-T best fits on balance and bulky offense teams, where it can provide defensive support against the aforementioned physical attackers. Common defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight, Hisuian Goodra, and Scream Tail are good teammates that can switch into Pokemon that threaten Landorus-T, such as Chien-Pao, Zapdos, and Quaquaval; Scream Tail can also provide Wish support. Landorus-T struggles to beat offensive Pokemon one-on-one, but its ability to safely pivot into teammates benefits fast offensive Pokemon such as Iron Moth, Greninja, and Chien-Pao.

Fluffy makes Landorus-T a decent defensive pivot that can take hits from physical attackers such as Slither Wing, Kingambit, and Talonflame Ursaluna; it is also one of the few switch-ins to Galarian Zapdos. Landorus-T can pivot into teammates with U-turn to gain and maintain momentum. Stealth Rock provides good utility and lets Landorus-T act as entry hazard setter. Smack Down is a good way to deal damage to Flying-type Pokemon such as Corviknight and Talonflame and ensures that Landorus-T is not used as a setup fodder by Talonflame. Taunt can also be used as an option to deny recovery and setup opportunities to foes. Landorus-T best fits on balance and bulky offenses teams where it can provide defensive support against the aforementioned physical attackers. Common defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight ,Goodra-Hisui, and Garchomp Scream Tail are good teammates that can switch into Pokemon that threaten Landorus-T such as Chien-Pao, Zapdos, and Quaquaval; Scream Tail can also provide Wish support. Offensive support and options to pivot into from Pokemon such as Iron Moth, Greninja, and Chien-Pao is also appreciated by Landorus-T. I would rephrase this to emphasize that Lando rarely beats things 1v1, but can provide safe pivoting to offensive teammates that can, so fast strong (frail) teammates are great

Fluffy makes Landorus-T a decent defensive pivot that can take hits from physical attackers such as Slither Wing, Kingambit, and Ursaluna; it is also one of the few switch-ins to Galarian Zapdos (252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Zapdos-Galar Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Fluffy Landorus-Therian: 161-190 (42.1 - 49.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery). Landorus-T can pivot into teammates with U-turn to gain and maintain momentum.(you already called it a defensive pivot) Stealth Rock + Smack Down makes Landorus-T a decent entry hazard setter against Corviknight, the most common removal option; Smack Down also provides good utility and lets Landorus-T act as entry hazard setter. Smack Down is a good way to deal damage to Flying-type Pokemon such as Corviknight and Talonflame and ensures that Landorus-T is not used as a setup fodder by Talonflame. Taunt can also be used as an option to deny recovery and setup opportunities to foes. (this needs examples; right now, it's just a definition of Taunt) Landorus-T best fits on balance and bulky offenses teams where it can provide defensive support against the aforementioned physical attackers. Common defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight, Goodra-Hisui, and Scream Tail are good teammates that can switch into Pokemon that threaten Landorus-T such as Chien-Pao, Zapdos, and Quaquaval; Scream Tail can also provide Wish support. Landorus-T struggles to beat offensive Pokemon in a 1v1 situation, (AC) but its abililty to safely pivot into teammates is appreciated by fast offensive Pokemon such as Iron Moth, Greninja, and Chien-Pao.
