[OVERVIEW]
Flying
========
* Acts as a wallbreaker thanks to Life Orb + Sheer Force and its wide movepool
* Useful thanks to Stealth Rock and inmunity to Electric-types such as Tapu Koko and Raichu Alola
* Good speed tier being able to outspeed threats such as Kyurem, Tapu Lele and Volcarona
* Susceptible to Ice- and Water-type moves from the likes of Alolan Ninetales and Barraskewda
* Suffers competition from Landorus T as it can better check Koko and Zera with Scarf
[SET]
name: Stealth Rock + 3 Attacks
move 1: Stealth Rock
move 2: Earth Power
move 3: Focus Blast
move 4: Sludge Wave
item: Life Orb
ability: Sheer Force
nature: Timid
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpDef / 252 Spe
[SET COMMENTS]
* Offensive Stealth Rock setter with wallbreaking capabilities
* Ground typing that allows it to check threats to Flying teams such as Nihilego and Tapu Koko
* Earth Power is the main STAB move that can deal great damage to physical walls like Duraludon, Torkoal and Galarian Corsola
* Focus Blast hits Normal- and Dark-types like Mandibuzz and Porygon2 and can hit Ground inmune Rock- and Steel-types like Aerodactyl and Celesteela
* Sludge Wave allows it to hit Fairy- and Grass-types like Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, Appletun and Rillaboom
* Life Orb increases damage and synergizes with Sheer Force which also increases damage and removes Life Orb recoil
* Timid nature to maximize Speed
* Due to no recovery it doesn't like chip damage from Stealth Rock so it can tank some hits like Tapu Koko Dazzling Gleam or Alolan Raichu Psychic, so Defog users such as Tornadus and Zapdos are great
* Because it can't beat special walls like Chansey, Mantine and Gastrodon it pairs well with physical wallbreakers like Dragonite or Galarian Zapdos, as it can also take care of physical walls such as Skarmory and Toxapex for them
* Walls that can patch its weakness are also appreciated like Celesteela and Mantine, Landorus can also cover their Electric-type weakness

Other Options
=============
Flying
--------
* Gravity is a great move that allows Landorus to hit Celesteela and Zapdos, but it makes it unable to hit Grass- and Fairy-types because of the loss of Sludge Wave
* Gravity can also turns against you allowing Pokemon like Choice Scarf Excadrill make huge amounts of damage
Gravity is a great move that lets Landorus hit Pokemon like Celesteela and Zapdos. Although, this would make it unable to hit Grass- and Fairy-types due to the lost of Sludge Wave and Gravity can turn against you allowing Pokemon like Choice Scarf Excadrill to devaste your team.
Checks and Counters
===================
Flying
--------
**Super effective moves**: Pokemon like Alolan Ninetales and Barraskewda can threaten Landorus with an OHKO with any of their Ice- and Water-types STAB moves.
**Priority**: Priority moves such as Urshifu-R Aqua Jet and Cloyster Ice Shard can 2HKO or OHKO Landorus respectively, being able to easily revenge kill it.
**Choice Scarf users and faster Pokemon**: Pokemon like Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan and Spectrier can outspeed Landorus and revenge kill it easily.
**Status**: Landorus doesn't like getting statused because it makes it last less so it can't take a hit or two.
