Choice Scarf Landorus-T is one of the best revenge killers Flying teams have access to, outrunning threats like Tapu Koko, Mega Diancie, and Terrakion while boasting great firepower. It's also very desireable thanks to its defensive traits, which include an immunity to Electric-type attacks and Intimidate. U-turn takes advantage of the switches Landorus-T forces, allowing it to pivot out of walls that come in on it such as Corviknight and Mega Venusaur. Similarly, Knock Off cripples some of the bulky Pokemon it invites in, like Porygon2 and Ferrothorn, by removing their items. Stone Edge notably hits Kyurem the hardest and is Landorus-T's best move versus Flying-types like Zapdos and Pelipper. Alternatively, Explosion lets Landorus-T score a surprise KO against an offensive threat it normally cannot OHKO, such as Keldeo or Mega Lopunny. Special wallbreakers like Galarian Moltres, Tornadus-T, and Mega Charizard Y are great partners to deal with the aforementioned physical walls Landorus-T draws in. Thundurus-T relieves pressure from Landorus-T by acting as a secondary Electric immunity and is a great asset against the Water and Flying teams Landorus-T can't do much to. Mega Aerodactyl is able to form a powerful revenge killing core alongside Landorus-T while providing Stealth Rock support for it to clean teams more easily. Corviknight switches into most Ice-type attacks aimed at Landorus-T, removes Stealth Rock with Defog, and is able to bring Landorus-T safely onto the field via its slow U-turn.
