Landorus-Therian @ Salac Berry / Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge

Landorus-T is able to make use of its tremendously high Attack stat, EdgeQuake coverage, and Swords Dance to serve as a powerful sweeper in OU, easily wallbreaking threats like Zapdos, Mandibuzz, Magearna, and Clefable and cleaning late-game. Whereas Salac Berry helps Landorus-T outspeed Pokemon like Spectrier and Tornadus-T, which can otherwise revenge kill it, and makes it a great fit on hyper offense teams, Leftovers on slower-paced teams gives Landorus-T better longevity. Landorus-T also employs Substitute to avoid status moves from Pokemon like opposing Landorus-T and Hippowdon, scout switches from foes it forces out like Heatran and Nidoking, and reliably activate Salac Berry. Dual screens users like Regieleki and Tapu Koko work well alongside Landorus-T to provide it both an easier way of setting up and getting in. Other offensive sweepers like Hawlucha and Kartana appreciate Landorus-T's ability to force damage on Flying-types like Zapdos and Mandibuzz, which would otherwise inhibit their sweeping potential.

Landorus-T is able to make use of its tremendously high Attack stat and access to Swords Dance to serve as a powerful sweeper in the OU metagame. Substitute allows Landorus-T to avoid status moves from Pokemon like opposing Landorus-T and Hippowdon while also giving it the option to scout switches from Pokemon it normally forces out like Heatran and Nidoking. Swords Dance is Landorus-T's preferred boosting move for breaking past weakened teams. Earthquake is Landorus-T's STAB of choice to hit common Pokemon like Toxapex, Magearna, and Clefable. Stone Edge pairs well with Earthquake, acting as additional coverage to hit Flying- type Pokemon like Zapdos and Mandibuzz which Earthquake would otherwise prove useless against. Screen users like Regieleki and Tapu Koko work well alongside Landorus-T to provide it both an easier way of setting up and getting in. Other offensive sweepers like Hawlucha Hawlucha does like Landorus-T's help if ur able to Stone Edge against Zapdos. Garchomp Garchomp dosent need Landorus-T's help to beat flying types, as its able to live any hit from Zapdos whilst being able to 2HKO with Stone Edge. and Kartana appreciate Landorus-T's ability to force damage on Flying- types like Zapdos and Mandibuzz which would otherwise inhibit their sweeping potential. Salac Berry was never mentioned on why it's good with Lando-T which needs to be added

I tried to make this read more like a spotlight rather than an analysis, but I might've accidentally altered meaning somewhere. OU QC can lmk if I did

gp 1/1 when done
