Choice Scarf Landorus recently has seen a spike of usage on Flying teams. This is due to its impressive role compression, as it can function as the team's Stealth Rock user while also being able to pick up momentum with U-turn. Its Choice Scarf allows it to act as a great form of speed control. It can turn the tides in matchups such as Fairy and Electric, allowing it to outspeed and OHKO threats such as Mega Diancie and Tapu Koko. Since Landorus typically does not run a Choice Scarf, it can bluff a Life Orb set to take on threats such as Greninja. Tornadus-T and Dragonite make for good partners for Landorus. Tornadus-T is a fast Defogger and can remove items from other Pokemon with Knock Off, as well form a U-turn core with Landorus. Dragonite is a great setup sweeper that can severely weaken teams after a few Dragon Dance boosts, allowing Landorus to easily clean through teams late-game. Additionally, it can break past Landorus's checks such as Mega Venusaur and Chansey with Devastating Drake.
