Paragraph 1:
-Earthquake lets Landorus do super-effective STAB damage to electric and rock types which Landorus teammates struggle with
-Knock Off lets Landorus get rid of items and hits Flying/Levitate which Landorus stab earthquake are unable to hit
-U-turn lets Landorus create momentum and get out of situations it doesn't want to be in
-Lets Landorus set up stealth rocks in order to reduce the number of switches the opposing Pokemon can make especially threatening against types like Flying and Fire along with breaking focus sash
-Landorus's EVs let it have the maxim amount of offensive pressure and outspeed being able to beat offensive threats such as Tapu Koko
-Landorus's ability lets it shut down psychical attackers such as Terrakion and other strong psychical attackers
Paragraph 2:
+Landorus electric immunity benefits flying types as a whole being able to swap into super-effective Electric-type attacks.
+Celesteela
+Mantine
+Dragonite
+As Landorus is 4x weak to ice type attacks it needs teammates like Celesteela or another steel flying type to tank the hit for it
+Landorus other weakness is water so teammates like Mantine and Dragonite that resit or have water absorb live hits from threats such as Urshifu-Rapid-Strike and Barraskewda.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Flying
--------
*With the ability, Intimidate Landorus can also run Defensive sets that can utilize its ability.
*Landorus can also run Substitute Bulk Up sets to c-team poison and steel teams with gravity or smack down.
*Focus Sash lead hyper offensive lead sets can also work but aren't recommended as flying play style is more balanced than hyper offensive.
Checks and Counters
===================
Flying
--------
**Water-Ice-types:** Water-types such as Barraskewda, Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, and Dracovish will have no problem OHKO Landorus with their water STAB. As Landorus is 4x weak to ice types moves pokemon such as Weavile, Darmanitan-Galar, and Kyurem will be massive threats to Landorus being easily OHKO.
**Physical Walls:** Physical Walls such as Avalugg and Celesteela will wall Landorus unless Landorus is running boosting moves such as Swords Dance or Bulk Up.
**Revenge Killers:** Fast revenge killers such as Choice Scarf Gengar and Darmanitan-Galar will outspeed and revenge kill Landorus.
