[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T is a solid Dynamax user in AG. With its good Attack, Speed, and Intimidate, it poses a huge threat to almost every Pokemon in the metagame while using physical attackers such as Necrozma-DM, Zekrom, and Groudon as setup bait. Swords Dance further boosts its good Attack, allowing many OHKOs on bulky walls such as Zygarde-C, Giratina, and Calm Mind Kyogre. Under Dynamax, Earthquake turns into a powerful Max Quake, which also gives it a Special Defense boost. Fly turns into Max Airstream, which allows Landorus-T to outspeed many key Pokemon such as Zacian-C, Calyrex-S, and Choice Scarf Kyogre. It also doesn't allow Ditto to revenge kill Landorus-T unless it Dynamaxes and then wins a Speed tie. Stone Edge allows it to deal heavy damage to Flying-types such as Ho-Oh, Yveltal, and Lugia while under Dynamax. Additionally, turning into Max Rockfall lets it summon sand, breaking Lunala's and Lugia's Shadow Shield and Multiscale. Explosion allows Landorus-T to OHKO even defensive Zygarde-C at +2 Attack instead, in addition to blocking potential Defoggers from removing hazards. Stealth Rock makes it a valuable entry hazard setter if a team lacks one. Life Orb allows Landorus-T to OHKO Pokemon such as bulky Eternatus without any boosts, while Focus Sash can provide more setup turns. Maximum Speed investment with a Jolly nature ensures that it outspeeds many Pokemon after a Max Airstream boost such as Calyrex-S, Choice Scarf Kyogre, and Jolly Zacian-C.

Landorus-T best fits as a Dynamax sweeper on hyper offense and balance teams. Due to its mediocre bulk, Landorus-T is unable to take hits very well, meaning that it needs significant team support. Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Eternatus help it by checking its common answer in Kyogre, and the former can set Spikes and possibly lure in Defoggers such as Ho-Oh and Yveltal, which are severely damaged by its Stone Edge. Teammates such as Xerneas and Yveltal pressure defensive Zygarde-C and Lunala, respectively, which can check Landorus-T. In return, Landorus-T threatens Necrozma-DM, Ferrothorn, and even Zacian-C, which are common checks for Xerneas. On hyper offense, Shuckle's Sticky Web and Stealth Rock can allow Landorus-T to comfortably set up and outspeed fast foes like Zacian-C, Choice Scarf Kyogre, and offensive Eternatus without relying on Max Airstream. In return, Landorus-T's Explosion can block Defog attempts, helping Shuckle's webs Sticky Web to stay up as long as possible.

Other Options
================
Lum Berry can be used to get rid of status from the likes of Giratina, defensive Zygarde-C, and Toxic Necrozma-DM, which can possibly stop Landorus-T from sweeping. An Adamant nature allows Landorus-T to deal more damage, but it is then unable to outspeed Pokemon such as Timid Calyrex-S, Adamant Zacian-C, and Choice Scarf Kyogre at +1 Speed, allowing them to revenge kill it reliably.

Checks and Counters
===================
**Physically Defensive Walls**: Physically defensive walls such as Zygarde-C and Lunala are often able to take hits from Landorus-T and cripple it in return. Zygarde-C is able to remove boosts using Haze and paralyze it with Glare, while Lunala can burn it with Will-O-Wisp and also force it out using Ice Beam.

**Revenge Killers**: Revenge killers such as Ditto, Calyrex-S, and Sucker Punch Yveltal are a huge threat to Landorus-T, as it can be rapidly worn due to its Life Orb, lack of recovery, and mediocre bulk. Zacian-C and Calyrex-S outspeed it unboosted and can OHKO it with their STAB moves. Kyurem-W is able to take hits from unboosted Landorus-T and OHKO it with its super effective Ice-type moves.

**Kyogre**: Kyogre is able to OHKO Landorus-T without any problem with Ice Beam or any special STAB move. Choice Scarf Kyogre can outspeed Landorus-T without any boosts and OHKO it. However, all variants of Kyogre can be OHKOed by a +2 Life Orb-boosted Max Quake from Landorus-T, somewhat reducing its effectiveness as a check.

Landorus-T is one of the most threatening Dynamax users a solid Dynamax user it's not one of the most threatening if it's currently sitting at C in the VR in AG. With its good Attack and, Speed, and Intimidate, it possesses a huge threat to almost every Pokemon in the metagame while using physical attackers such as Necrozma-DM, Zekrom, and Groudon as setup bait. With access to Swords Dance and Fly, Landorus-T can take advantage of Dynamax like no other. Swords Dance allows it to further boost its good Attack allowing many OHKOs on bulky walls such as Zygarde, Giratina, and Calm Mind Kyogre. Under Dynamax, Fly turns into Max Airstream giving Landorus-T a speed boost allowing to outspeed many key Pokemon such as Zacian-C, Calyrex-S, and Choice Scarf Kyogre. It can also Imposter-proof a non-Dynamaxed Ditto by forcing it to use Fly, while Earthquake turns into a powerful Max Quake, giving it a Special Defense boost and provides many OHKOs and 2HKOs fluff. Stone Edge allows it to deal heavy damage to Flying-types such as Ho-Oh and Yveltal while under Dynamax, it. Additionally, it turns into Max Rockfall and helps Landorus-T to set up Sandstorm, breaking Lunala and Lugia's Shadow Shield and Multiscale, respectively. Stealth Rock allows it to OHKO Pokemon through their Potential Focus Sash Landorus-T to act as a valuable entry hazard setter if a team lacks one. Explosion allows it to OHKO even defensive Zygarde-C at +2 Attack instead. Life Orb increases Landorus-T's damage output add some examples of what life orb breaks better like zygarde-c while Focus Sash is an alternative so that it survives attacks from its opponents. Maximum Speed investment with Jolly nature ensures that it overspeeds many Pokemon at +1 Speed after a Max Airstream boost such as Calyrex-S, Choice Scarf Kyogre, and Jolly Zacian-C. while 252 Attack EVs with Life Orb guarantee many key OHKOs such as Zacian-C and Eternatus even when unboosted. you already explained what life orb is used for, and an explanation of 252 atk evs is fluff

Choice Scarf Kyogre can outspeed Landorus-T without any boosts and OHKO with Water Spout while Rest defensive Calm Mind Kyogre is able to take hits from Landorus-T while being able OHKO it with its moves.. However, all variants of Kyogre can be OHKOed by a +2 Life Orb-boosted Max Quake from Landorus-T.

**Other Counter**: Other counters include Ice types such as Kyurem-W that can OHKO it with Ice Beam or Freeze Dry while taking hits from unboosted Landorus-T. Faster opponents such as Zacian-C and Calyrex-S are a serious threat to Landorus-T without any boosts as they are able to OHKO Landorus-T. move this to the revenge killers section Bulky Flying-types such as Skamory and Corviknight can wall non-Stone Edge variants pretty easily, with the former being able to phaze it out using Whirlwind. skarm and corv are both uncommon in AG, so you don't need to mention them

**Revenge Killers**: Revenge killers such as Ditto, Calyrex-S, (AC) and Sucker Punch Yveltal are a huge threat to Landorus-T, (AC) as it can be rapidly worn due to the combination of Life Orb and its lack of recovery its Life Orb, lack of recovery, and mediocre bulk. Zacian-C and Calyrex-S are a serious threat to Landorus-T as they outspeed it unboosted and can OHKO it with their STAB moves. Kyurem-W is able to take hits from unboosted Landorus-T and is able to OHKO it with its super effective Ice-type moves.

**Kyogre**: Kyogre is able to OHKO Landorus-T without any problem with Ice Beam or any special STAB move. (no idea if waterfall is common here, maybe just "any stab move" if it's not present. tldr, in some way mentioning that stab moves ko too feels worthwhile) Choice Scarf Kyogre can outspeed Landorus-T without any boosts and OHKO with Water Spout it. However, all variants of Kyogre can be OHKOed by a +2 Life Orb-boosted Max Quake from Landorus-T, somewhat reducing its effectiveness as a check.

[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T is a solid Dynamax user in AG. With its good Attack, Speed, and Intimidate, it poses a huge threat to almost every Pokemon in the metagame while using physical attackers such as Necrozma-DM, Zekrom, and Groudon as setup bait. Swords Dance allows it to further boost further boosts its good Attack, (AC) allowing many OHKOs on bulky walls such as Zygarde-C, Giratina, and Calm Mind Kyogre. Under Dynamax, Earthquake turns into a powerful Max Quake, which also gives it a Special Defense boost. Fly turns into Max Airstream, (AC) giving Landorus-T a speed boost allowing to outspeed which allows Landorus-T to outspeed many key Pokemon such as Zacian-C, Calyrex-S, and Choice Scarf Kyogre. It can also Imposter-proof a non-Dynamaxed Ditto by forcing it to use Fly, allowing Landorus to avoid being revenge killed by Ditto unless Ditto also doesn't allow Ditto to revenge kill Landorus-T unless it (unless there's something i'm missing about ditto being "forced" to use fly as opposed to fly just being its best option, this condensing feels adequate, but lmk if not) Dynamaxes and then wins a Speed tie. Earthquake turns into a powerful Max Quake, giving it a Special Defense boost. Stone Edge allows it to deal heavy damage to Flying-types such as Ho-Oh, Yveltal, and Lugia while under Dynamax. Additionally, it turns into Max Rockfall and helps Landorus-T to set up Sandstorm, breaking turning into Max Rockfall lets it summon sand, breaking Lunala's and Lugia's Shadow Shield and Multiscale, respectively. Explosion allows it Landorus-T to OHKO even defensive Zygarde-C at +2 Attack instead, in addition to blocking potential Defoggers from removing hazards. Stealth Rock allows Landorus-T to act as makes it a valuable entry hazard setter if a team lacks one. Life Orb increases Landorus-T's damage output allowing it allows Landorus-T to OHKO Pokemon such as bulky Eternatus without any boosts, (AC) while Focus Sash is an alternative so that it survives attacks from its opponents to enable it to get can provide more setup turns. Maximum Speed investment with a Jolly nature ensures that it outspeeds many Pokemon after a Max Airstream boost such as Calyrex-S, Choice Scarf Kyogre, and Jolly Zacian-C.

Landorus-T best fits as a Dynamax sweeper on hyper offense and balanced teams. Due to its mediocre bulk, Landorus-T is unable to take hits very well, meaning that it needs significant team support. Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Eternatus help it by checking its common answer in Kyogre, while the former being and the former can set Spikes and possibly lure in Defoggers such as Ho-Oh and Yveltal, (AC) which are severely damaged by Landorus-T's its Stone Edge. Teammates such as Xerneas and Yveltal pressure defensive Zygarde-C and Lunala, (AC) respectively, which can check Landorus-T. In return, Landorus-T threatens Necrozma-DM, Ferrothorn, and even Zacian-C, which are common checks for Xerneas. On hyper offense, Shuckle can be useful in setting up Sticky Web and Stealth Rock, allowing Shuckle's Sticky Web and Stealth Rock can allow Landorus-T to comfortably set itself up and outspeed fast foes like Zacian-C, Choice Scarf Kyogre, and offensive Eternatus without relying on Max Airstream. In return, Landorus's access to Explosion allows it to Landorus-T's Explosion can block Defog attempts, helping Shuckle's webs Sticky Web to stay up as long as possible.

Other Options
================
Lum Berry can be used instead of Life Orb to get rid of status from the likes of Giratina, defensive Zygarde-C, and Toxic Necrozma-DM, which can possibly stop Landorus-T from sweeping. An Adamant nature allows Landorus-T to deal more damage, (AC) but it is then unable to outspeed Pokemon such as Timid Calyrex-S, Adamant Zacian-C, and Choice Scarf Kyogre at +1 Speed, (AC) allowing them to revenge kill it reliably. (added period)

Checks and Counters

Zacian-C and Calyrex-S are a serious threat to Landorus-T as they outspeed it unboosted and can OHKO it with their STAB moves. Kyurem-W is able to take hits from unboosted Landorus-T and is able to OHKO it with its super effective Ice-type moves.

**Kyogre**: Kyogre is able to OHKO Landorus-T without any problem with Ice Beam or any special STAB move. (no idea if waterfall is common here, maybe just "any stab move" if it's not present. tldr, in some way mentioning that stab moves ko too feels worthwhile) Choice Scarf Kyogre can outspeed Landorus-T without any boosts and OHKO with Water Spout it. However, all variants of Kyogre can be OHKOed by a +2 Life Orb-boosted Max Quake from Landorus-T, somewhat reducing its effectiveness as a check.
