[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T's Intimidate and ability to check common threats such as Zacian-C, Stakataka and Rillaboom cement it as one of the best Ground-types in the tier. Earth Power OHKOes Regieleki, Stakataka and Nihilego and 2HKOes Zacian-C; it is prefered over Earthquake because of Rillaboom's Grassy Surge. Rock Slide checks Volcarona and Flying-types such as Tornadus and Galarian Moltres, dealing significant damage even with a hindering nature. It also has a chance to make foes flinch. Sludge Bomb is a great tool against Xerneas and Grass-types like Rillaboom and Tsareena. Pairing U-turn with Choice Scarf allows Landorus-T to quickly reposition itself against Calyrex-S, bring in checks like Incineroar, and cycle Intimidate against Zacian-C and Rillaboom to soften their attacks.

Landorus-T is a great partner for Restricted Pokemon like Xerneas, checking threats such as Zacian-C, Stakataka, and Nihilego. As for non-Restricted teammates, Rillaboom can pressure Kyogre and Urshifu-R with Fake Out and Grassy Glide, while Landorus-T takes care of Flying-types like Tornadus and Fire-types like Incineroar and Volcarona in return. Urshifu-R is able to comfortably resist Ice-type attacks from Kyogre and Calyrex-I and punish them, while Landorus-T weakens Grass-types with Sludge Bomb and U-turn for Urshifu-R.

Landorus-T's good bulk and support tools such as Intimidate and U-turn make it a great defensive pivot in the Series 10 metagame. Earth Power OHKOes Stakataka and Nihilego and is preferred over Earthquake to avoid hitting allies as well as get around Rilaboom's Grassy Surge. Rock Slide is an excellent tool against Volcarona, OHKOing it easily, while also pressuring Flying-types like Tornadus. A slow U-turn generates momentum for Landorus-T's team and lets it take advantage of Intimidate multiple times. Rocky Helmet punishes Fake Out from Incineroar, Rillaboom, and especially Mienshao, breaking its Focus Sash. This EV spread allows Landorus-T to survive +1 Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade and 2HKO it with Earth Power.

Xerneas is a Restricted partner that appreciates Landorus-T weakening Zacian with Intimidate and OHKOing threats like Nihilego and Stakataka. As for non-Restricted Pokemon, Rillaboom is able to pressure Water-types like Urshifu-R and Kyogre with Grassy Glide, while Landorus-T deals with Fire-types like Volcarona and Flying-types like Tornadus in return. Urshifu-R resists Ice-type attacks such as Kyogre's Ice Beam and Calyrex-I's Glacial Lance and punishes them, while Landorus-T weakens Rillaboom and Tsareena with U-turn and Intimidate for Urshifu-R.

Landorus-T distinguishes itself as a great defensive Ground-type in VGC. The combination of Intimidate and great bulk lets it check a large swath of physical attackers in the metagame like Zacian-C and Rillaboom. Its useful fighting resistance lets it check Inner Focus Mienshao, unlike its main competition, Incineroar. Choice Scarf allows Landorus-T to outspeed a good portion of the metagame, even Timid Calyrex-S. Earth Power is a Ground-type attack not weakened by Grassy Terrain while OHKOing Regieleki and 2HKOing Zacian-C. Rock Slide can take advantage of Scarf Landorus-T's great speed tier and be used to flinch opposing Pokemon, while also having the benefit of hitting Flying-types who are immune to Earth Power, along with OHKOing Volcarona. Sludge Bomb is useful for hitting ground resists like Rillaboom and Tsareena. U-Turn allows Landorus-T to keep momentum for its team, and can get it out of danger against Pokemon who threaten it, like Urshifu-R. This Landorus-T set compresses the role as a check to physical Pokemon and Speed control in one slot.

This Landorus-T set is used as a hard answer to several physical Pokemon like Rillaboom and Mienshao. Rocky Helmet punishes the physical moves Landorus-T will be switching into frequently. Earth Power is Landorus-T's STAB move, and easily beats Pokemon like Stakataka.

Landorus-T's access to Intimidate and the ability to check threats (saying just "threats" feels a bit underwhelming) many common threats such as Zacian-C, Stakataka,(AC) (Oxford Comma) and Rillaboom staples it as one of the best Ground-types in the tier. Earth Power is its main STAB, bypassing Rillaboom's Grassy Terrain and OHKOing Regieleki and Nihilego, while also 2HKOing Zacian-C. (why Earth Power over Earthquake? Explain the Grassy Terrain problem in a new sentence) Rock Slide is a great tool against Flying-type Pokémon like Tornadus,(RC) and Volcarona (first of all, Volcarona is not flying, secondly, try to expand the sentence a bit, add some spice and mention why we use a physical move in a special set). Sludge Bomb is great against Xerneas, Tsareena,(AC) and Rillaboom (Same as before, the sentence feels underwhelming and rushed). U-turn allows Landorus-T to pivot in and out of the field, recycling Intimidates (and? Come on... talk like we do on Discord, don't be so concise). The Choice Scarf with the Speed investement allows Landorus-T to outspeed Calyrex-S (what is the benefit of outspeeding it? and why the bulk investments and not in attack since we have a mixed set? You gotta clarify those).

For Restricted partners, Landorus-T pairs well with Xerneas, checking its main threats such as Nihilego and Zacian-C. As for non-Restricteds, Rillaboom is an excellent partner, being able to immediatly shut down Water-type threats such as Kyogre and Urshifu-R (not that much.... Urshifu often runs Sash and Kyogre has both tornadus and Tsareena to get around Rillaboom, maybe it needs a bit of tweaking), while Landorus-T bypasses Fire-types such as Volcarona. Urshifu-R is able to comfortably resist Ice-type attack from threats such as Kyogre and Weavile,(AC) and punishing them after, while Landorus-T is able to weaken Grass-types.

[SET COMMENTS]
Although normally offensive, Landorus-T can play a defensive role with Rocky Helmet, breaking Focus Sashes from Pokémon like Mienshao while offering its partners a safe switch due to its slow U-turn. This set is great in bulky offense compositions, specially with Xerneas and Zacian-C, although this set lacks offensive pressure to check Pokémon like Rillaboom efficiently.

(imagine both sets as separate, you can't mention points made in the first set to justify points of the second set, therefore, you need to rewrite the second set almost entirely)

Landorus-T's good bulk and major support tools such as Intimidate and U-turn makes it a great defensive pivot in the Series 10 metagame. Earth Power is its main single target STAB, OHKOing Stakataka and Nihilego, being prefered over Earthquake so you don't hurt your own to avoid hitting allies Pokémon while you avoid getting around Rilaboom's Grassy Surge effect. Rock Slide is an excellent tool against Volcarona, OHKOing it easily, while also pressuring Fying-types like Tornadus. A slow U-turn gives Landorus-T momentum for its team, while being able to recycle its Intimidate on tagets like Zacian-C and makes so that it can take advantage of Intimidate many times. The Rocky Helmet punishes Fake Out from Incineroar, Rillaboom and especially Mienshao, breaking its Focus Sash.

It is also able to score flinches on opponents also has a chance to make foes flinch. Sludge Bomb is a great tool against Xerneas that also breaks through and Grass-types like Rillaboom and Tsareena. Pairing U-turn with Choice Scarf allows Landorus-T to quickly reposition itself against Calyrex-S, bringing in checks like Incineroar, and cycle Intimidate against Zacian-C and Rillaboom to soften their attacks.

Landorus-T is a great partner for Restricted partners Pokemon(repetition of partner) like Xerneas, being able to check its main checking threats such as Zacian-C, Stakataka, and Nihilego. As for non-Restricted teammates, Rillaboom can pressure Kyogre and Urshifu-R with Fake Out and Grassy Glide, while Landorus-T takes care of Flying-types like Tornadus and Fire-types like Incineroar and Volcarona in return. Urshifu-R is able to comfortably resist Ice-type attacks from Kyogre and Calyrex-I,(RC) punishing and punish them afterwards, while Landorus-T weakens Grass-types with Sludge Bomb and U-turn for Urshifu-R.

[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T's good bulk and support tools,(RC) such as Intimidate and U-turn,(RC) make it a great defensive pivot in the Series 10 metagame. Earth Power is its main single target STAB,(RC) OHKOing OHKOes Stakataka and Nihilego,(RC) being and is preferred over Earthquake to avoid hitting allies Pokémon while getting as well as get around Rilaboom's Grassy Surge effect. Rock Slide is an excellent tool against Volcarona, OHKOing it easily, while also pressuring Flying-types like Tornadus. A slow U-turn gives Landorus-T generates momentum for its Landorus-T's team and lets it take advantage of Intimidate multiple times.(Is this what you meant? You deleted words while implementing dex's check.) Rocky Helmet punishes Fake Out from Incineroar, Rillaboom, and especially Mienshao, breaking its Focus Sash. This EV spread allows Landorus-T to survive a +1 Zacian-C's Behemoth Blade while 2HKOing and 2HKO it with Earth Power.

Xerneas is a Restricted partner that appreciates Landorus-T weakening Zacian through with Intimidate and OHKOing threats like Nihilego and Stakataka. As for non-Restricted Pokemon, Rillaboom is able to pressure Water-types like Urshifu-R and Kyogre with Grassy Glide, while Landorus-T deals with Fire-types like Volcarona and Flying-types like Tornadus in return. Urshifu-R resists Ice-type attacks such as Kyogre's Ice Beam,(RC) and Calyrex-I's Glacial Lance,(RC) punishing and punishes them in return, while Landorus-T weakens Rillaboom and Tsareena with U-turn and Intimidate for Urshifu-R.
