Ubers Landorus Therian

[pannu]

[Overview]

Due to its solid bulk and Intimidate, Landorus-T checks physical attackers such as Necrozma-DM, Groudon, and Zygarde-C while supporting its team with Stealth Rock. This, in tandem with U-turn, lets it act as a solid defensive pivot on bulky offensive teams, as it doesn't drain momentum like similar Pokemon, such as Necrozma-DM and Groudon. However, its lack of reliable recovery leaves it prone to being overwhelmed in longer games by the physical attackers it's supposed to check. Furthermore, its lackluster Special Defense leaves it susceptible against special attackers, such as Kyogre, Xerneas, and Calyrex-S.

[SET]
name: Defensive
move 1: Earthquake
move 2: Toxic / Stone Edge
move 3: U-turn
move 4: Stealth Rock
item: Leftovers
ability: Intimidate
nature: Impish
evs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe

[SET COMMENTS]

Earthquake lets Landorus-T threaten the likes of Eternatus, Necrozma-DM, and Zekrom while also damaging the likes of Marshadow, Kyogre, and Xerneas. U-turn lets Landorus-T pivot out into its teammates to keep up the momentum. Lastly, Toxic lets it wear down the likes of Kyogre, Ho-Oh, and Lunala over time. However, Stone Edge is another option to hit Ho-Oh and Yveltal for super effective damage; it is, however, less useful against mostly everything else.

Landorus-T appreciates being paired up with Pokemon that can take advantage of its pivoting;wallbreakers like Choice Specs Kyogre, Marshadow, Calyrex-S, or Eternatus are stellar partners, as they appreciate it letting them in safely. Landorus-T struggles with special attackers, so specially bulky Pokemon such as Necrozma-DM, Eternatus, and Yveltal make a good defensive core alongside it. Eternatus and Necrozma-DM appreciate Landorus-T pivoting into Ground-type attacks for them, and they can pivot into Water- and Ice-type moves respectively, which Landorus-T struggles with.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
====

A Choice Scarf set can be used, as it compresses revenge killing and Landorus-T's defensive utility into one set. However, it still has aa underwhelming Speed tier, and the lack of Leftovers makes it easily overwhelmed and unable to properly check the Pokemon it's supposed to. Offensive Swords Dance variants work well on offensive teams, their EdgeQuake coverage lets them hit most Pokemon in the tier and threaten common Defoggers in Yveltal and Ho-Oh. This set does, however, struggle against many physical walls, Buzzwole, Zygarde, and Kyogre completely invalidate it. Landorus-T can also run Stealth Rock in tandem with Explosion as a lead on hyper offense teams, which gets up Stealth Rock safely and uses Explosion to block Defog and Rapid Spin as well as to let it freely switch out into a teammate. Lastly it, can also run Knock Off on the defensive set to make progress against the opposing team.

Checks and Counters
====

**Physically Bulky Pokemon**: Pokemon that can switch into Landorus-T's moves like Tangrowth, Zygarde, Buzzwole, and Skarmory make it unable to make progress. However, it can use moves like Knock Off or Toxic to punish these switch-ins or pivot into a check with U-turn.

**Residual Damage**: While Landorus-T has solid bulk, its reliance on Leftovers for recovery makes it easy to wear down long term with chip damage or entry hazards.

**Special Attackers**: Landorus-T's poor Special Defense stat is easily taken advantage of by special attackers like Kyogre, Calyrex-S, Eternatus, and Xerneas, as they can easily threaten to OHKO it and therefore force it out.

the dance move of your choice makes your attack strong, then you sweep with broken flying stab and good coverage + priority

Because of its not very good speed run it on webs w/ shuckle or slurpuff ooo you also wanna run something to take advantage of its breaking abilities like zacian-h, lorb yve or offensive eternatus

[Overview]

Landorus possesses good natural bulk aswell as a good movepool and speedtier, allowing it to function as a solid Choice Scarfer and being able to provide a soft check to many common Pokemon
This overview is way too barren as is. I'd first mention what mons it checks with typing and bulk as examples to what you started talking about, but other important things that should be touched on are its good speed tier and stats, intimidate to stop physical mons, as well as its drawbacks such as facing competition as a ground, lack of recovery, etc.

Landorus is a stellar Choice Scarfer as it can provide a Ground- and Electric-type resist to any team, while soft checking revenge killing other relevant attackers like Zacian-C, Marshadow, Eternatus or Zekrom. Add how EQ allows it to function as one of the better revenge killers to Zekrom, exca and stuff U-turn allows Landorus to keep up offensive momentum meanwhile Knock Off can punish switch-ins such as Yveltal, Ho-oh, and Tangrowth, Explosion can also be run to explode on Pokemon like Zygarde or Groudon, meanwhile Stone Edge can Hit Yveltal or Ho-oh on the switch-in. Defog allows Landorus to remove hazards for its teammates like Life Orb Yveltal or Kyurem-W.

Pairing Landorus-T up with other pivots such as U-turn variants of Yveltal can form a pivoting core that can safely switch around the opposing teams defensive core while being able to safely get in breakers like Zacian-C, Kyogre (moving this mention to second half), Urshifu, and Marshadow on the field. Pokemon that resist Water- and Ice-type moves like Kyogre, Ferrothorn, Eternatus, or Necrozma-DM patches up Landorus-T's weaknesses. Talk about strong special attackers like Kyogre, Xerneas, Calyrex-S etc here as their own group, since one of the main counters listed to lando is just phys.def mons which these can break and appreciate the pivoting from

[Overview]

Landorus-T possesses stellar defenses and speed, as well as a solid ability in Intimidate, this in tandem with its good movepool options allows Landorus-T to function as a solid Choice Scarfer and being able to soft check or revenge kill many common Pokemon like Zacian-H, Eternatus, and Zekrom. While it does have competition as a Ground-type in Zygarde and Groudon This sounds like you wanna continue this sentence, maybe talk about what it has over them, notably the immediate speed and pivoting. I think it's pivoting ability should be highlighted a bit more since it's really important. Can also mention it's lack of longevity compared to something like Rest Zygarde and other walls in general as a drawback

[SET COMMENTS]

Landorus is a stellar Choice Scarfer as it can provide a Ground- and Electric-type immune to any team, while being able to revenge kill threats like Marshadow, Eternatus, Zekrom, and Excadrill, with Earthquake. U-turn allows Landorus to keep up offensive momentum meanwhile Knock Off can punish switch-ins such as Yveltal, Ho-oh, and Tangrowth, Explosion can also be run to explode on Pokemon like Zygarde or Groudon, move to OO meanwhile Stone Edge can Hit Yveltal or Ho-oh on the switch-in you say knock can also punish these so maybe differentiate the punishment both options give, like how Ho-Oh has a roll to just drop to edge. Defog allows Landorus to remove hazards for its entry hazard weak teammates like Life Orb offensive (glasses / scarf are usually more common on balances which lando is run on if anything) Yveltal or Kyurem-W. Galarian Darmanitan (I wanna say that's a more relevant ice type partner since it also has pivoting)

with defog in the paragraph above I'd also mention how a fast defog is really effective in HO mu's, removing webs when most defensive defoggers normally can't

Pairing Landorus-T up with other pivots such as U-turn variants of Yveltal can form a pivoting core that can safely switch around the opposing teams defensive core while being able to safely get in breakers like Zacian, Urshifu, and Marshadow on the field. Pokemon that resist Water- and Ice-type moves like Kyogre, Ferrothorn, Eternatus, or Necrozma-DM patches up Landorus-T's weaknesses. Strong special attackers such as Kyogre, Xerneas, Calyrex-S, and Palkia are phenomenal teammates for Landorus-T, as they can take advantage of Landorus-T's pivoting for getting onto the field safely and against a Pokemon which they have a good matchup against, such as Tangrowth, Buzzwole, or Zygarde. Can also mention teammates who appreciate its defensive capabilities against stuff like don and zekrom such as Ho-Oh or ndm, and ho-oh can drop defog for twave stuff also if lando can cover for it

Hi pannuracotta, with the banning of both Zacian's scarf Lando-t has just fallen off, so we'd like to see the standard Phys.def set mentioned now, apologies but this will still need 2 QC checks after this since it's a big change. Can mention SD rocks and stuff like Knock Off and Grass Knot in OO and probably just remove scarf fully, it doesn't have nearly as good of a niche as it did before when scarf yvel can just be better

[Minority]

The overview needs to have more content which does a better job at quickly telling readers what this Pokemon accomplishes at a glance, what traits it has to achieve that and make it stand out, and what some of its limitations / weaknesses are.

More information is also needed about the move prioritization.

 

[Minority]

The intro is composed of two run on sentences which need each of their points broken out into separate sentences.

Slash Stone Edge with Toxic rather than Earthquake, since both Stone Edge and Toxic are for Ho-Oh.

QC: 1/2

 

[SiTuM]

has anyone even used gknot lando in his life ? i don't think this is really relevant

you have to mention scarf in OO now that it's not a main set anymore

**Residual Damage**: Despite Landorus-T's solid bulk, its reliance on leftovers for recovery makes it easy to wear down long-term with chip damage or entry hazards.

**Special Attackers**: Due to Landorus-T's poor Special Defense stat, special attackers like Kyogre, Calyrex-s, Eternatus, and Xerneas can easily threaten to OHKO it and as such force it out.

i don't like the repetition with the '[due/despite] Landorus T's [stat]' but its just me i guess

[Overview]

Due Thanks (more positive, hooks reader) to its solid bulk, (RC) and good ability in Intimidate, Landorus-T lets it checks physical attackers such as Necrozma-DM, Groudon, and Zygarde-C while safely setting up Stealth Rock. (There are a lot of ways you can reword this, this is just one; also moved the SR sentence as it was circular reasoning) This, (AC) in tandem with its access to U-turn, (AC) lets it act as a solid defensive pivot on more offensive teams, as it doesn't drain momentum like other similar Pokemon that can fill its role does. (less words, same point. maybe some examples could be good though) Its access to Stealth Rock also makes it able to support its team through setting up entry hazards. However, its lack of solid reliable recovery leaves it prone to being overwhelmed in longer games by the physical attackers it's supposed to check. and Furthermore, its lackluster Special Defense leaves it susceptible against Special Attackers, such as Kyogre, Xerneas, and Calyrex-S. (You seemed to split this sentence with a period, is that word ok?)

[SET COMMENTS]

Landorus-T is a solid Stealth Rock user and pivot on bulky teams. (You establish this in the Overview, no?) Earthquake lets Landorus-T threaten the likes of Eternatus, Necrozma-DM, (spacing)and Zekrom, while also being able to chip damage (it's lando eq, it's more than chip damage surely?) the likes of Marshadow, Kyogre, and Xerneas. (spacing)U-turn lets Landorus-T pivot out into its teammates and to keep up the momentum. Lastly, Toxic lets it wear down the likes of Kyogre, Ho-Oh, and Lunala over time. However, Stone Edge is another option, which lets Landorus-T hit Ho-Oh and Yveltal for super effective damage; (comma -> semi-colon) it is, however, less useful against mostly (pick one) everything else.

Landorus-T appreciates being paired up with Pokemon that can take advantage of its pivoting; thus, as such (incorrect transitional phrase) wallbreakers like Choice Specs Kyogre, Marshadow, Calyrex-S, or Eternatus are stellar to pair up with Landorus partners, as they appreciate it letting them in safely. Landorus-T struggles with special (attack categories aren't capitalised) attackers, as such so pairing it up with specially bulky Pokemon such as Necrozma-DM, Eternatus, and Yveltal make for a good defensive core alongside it. (comma -> period) Eternatus and Necrozma-DM appreciate Landorus-T being able to pivot into Ground-type attacks for them, and they can pivot into Water- and Ice-type moves respectively, which Landorus-T struggles with.

A Choice Scarf set can be used, as it compresses speed control (Last I checked, speed control doesn't refer to a Pokemon just holding a Choice Scarf, consider rewording.) and Landorus-T's defensive utility into one set. However, it has an underwhelming Speed tier even when boosted by Choice Scarf, and the lack of Leftovers make leaves it easily overwhelmed and unable to properly check the Pokemon it's (AA) supposed to check. Offensive Swords Dance variants work well on offensive teams, as its Stone Edge and Earthquake EdgeQuake (compressing) coverage lets it hit most Pokemon in the tier and threatens common Defoggers in like Yveltal and Ho-Oh. This set does, (AC) however, (AC) struggle against many Phyiscal physical walls: (comma -> colon) Buzzwole, Zygarde, and Kyogre completely invalidate it. Landorus-T can also run Stealth Rock in tandem with Explosion as a lead on hyper offense teams, which gets up Stealth Rock safely and uses Explosion to block hinder hazard removal Defog and Rapid Spin as well as to let it freely switch out into a while letting in a teammate. (If it's self-KOing it's not really "switching out" into a teammate like a pivot move, this feels more specific while reducing word count) Lastly, (AC) it can also run Knock Off or Grass Knot on the a defensive set, as Knock Off lets it make progress against the opposing team, (is this unfinished??? finish it!)

Checks and Counters

**Physically Bulky Pokemon**: Pokemon that can switch into Landorus-T's moves like Tangrowth, Zygarde, Buzzwole, and Skarmory wall Landorus and make it unable difficult to make progress, often walling it. (this wording is really weird, I think this makes it grammatically correct though?) However, (AC) it can use moves like Knock Off (you said knock means it's able to make progress?) or Toxic to punish these switch-ins, or pivot into a check with U-turn. (AP) out into an attacker that handles these switch-ins..

**Residual Damage**: While Landorus-T has solid bulk, its overly reliant reliance on Leftovers for recovery makes it easy to wear down long-term with chip damage or entry hazards. (obv not qc or anything but surely some examples would be nice here?)

**Special Attackers**: Landorus-T's poor Special Defense stat is easy to take advantage of by with (alternatively, "easily taken advantage of by") special attackers like Kyogre, Calyrex-S, Eternatus, and Xerneas, as they can easily threaten to OHKO it and as such therefore force it out.
