Dragapult @ Choice Specs
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Fire Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Thunder

Dragapult basically sweeps other teams. I really like how fast it is and how hard it can hit. Theres not a lot to it except "its a good sweeper".

Tangrowth @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sleep Powder
- Leech Seed
- Giga Drain
- Substitute

Tangrowth is so underrated. I use it to use as a tank/staller. I sleep powder it, and switch to something else or I leech seed it/giga drain it.

Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flash Cannon
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Stealth Rock
I use this to basically get rid of fire types, fairy types, and to get rid of that damn Clefable on those teams. A Clefable with focus blast, flamethrower, soft boiled and moonblast will wipe 4/6 of my team. I also use this to just have a clean switch to when my Tangrowth is attacked by a fire/poison type.

Bewear
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Close Combat
- Darkest Lariat
- Giga Impact

The whole point of Bewear is to giga impact and one shot things. Earthquake for fire types. Darkest Lariat is to cover for ghost types.

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brick Break
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Knock Off

Landorus-Therian is to be annoying. Brick break to cover for ice types. Knock off to waste a move slot, U-turn to switch when theres a water type, earthquake to just be a attacking move.

Grimmsnarl (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Darkest Lariat
- Fire Punch
- Shadow Claw

I use this to check dragapult and dragonite. They both are pretty powerful, so I kind of just use it to defeat them both. I also use it for other dragon types, but not that much as I can use my heatran.
 
In my opinion, Knock Off is better than Substitute in Tangrowth. The ability to remove items is simply too good for this metagame. Substitute is usually not used by tanks, as they do not mind neutral attacks coming their way.

Focus Blast is very rare for Clef, since most LO Clefs have Calm Mind, Moonblast, Fire Blast and Thunderbolt/Soft-Boiled. Maybe remove some Special Attack and put in some Special Defense on Tran?

Bewear does not have an item. Here, I am going to assume that it is Banded. Giga Impact is good and all, but you will be vulnerable for the next turn. I would put Body Slam or Double Edge over it.

With all due respect, Brick Break is crap in Lando's moveset. Earthquake hit Blissey and Tyranitar too. Stone Edge is strictly superior too. Scared of it's accuracy? Use Rock Slide. Leftovers is not good for this set too. Choice Scarf is better imo, since without defensive investment, speed should be the one you focus on. Your team is quite slow, with Dragapult being the only fast one.

Compare:

252 Atk Landorus-Therian Brick Break vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 322-380 (45 - 53.2%) -- 32.8% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey: 322-379 (45 - 53%) -- 30.5% chance to 2HKO

252 Atk Landorus-Therian Brick Break vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 328-388 (81.1 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar: 326-386 (80.6 - 95.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

252 Atk Landorus-Therian Brick Break vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyurem: 194-230 (49.6 - 58.8%) -- 98.8% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyurem: 195-229 (49.8 - 58.5%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyurem: 260-306 (66.4 - 78.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Landorus-Therian Brick Break vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mamoswine: 214-252 (59.2 - 69.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Mamoswine: 211-250 (58.4 - 69.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Landorus-Therian Brick Break vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Ninetales-Alola: 113-133 (32.2 - 38%) -- 95.9% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Ninetales-Alola: 225-265 (64.2 - 75.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Ninetales-Alola: 300-354 (85.7 - 101.1%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO

These are the calcs for max attack Lando-T against Blissey, Tyranitar (the ones that are weak to Fighting) and the viable Ice types. Earthquake hits Bliss and Ttar just like Brick Break and Stone Edge hits Ice types minus Mamo harder. (Besides, why use Lando against Mamo?)

Last but not least, Grimmsnarl. This mon is always used for Screens support. I would replace him with literally every physical attacker in OU. If you remain adamant about using it (Pun not intended), replace Sucker Punch with Shadow Claw. Shadow Claw hits nothing and Sucker Punch is good priority against Dragapult too. Just like Lando, there is no point in putting Leftovers over something like Life Orb.
