Landorus-T is one of the best suicide leads in the tier, as its huge Attack stat, great defensive typing, and useful utility movepool allow it to consistently set up Stealth Rock and deny the foe from setting it up itself. Taunt stops any Pokemon slower than Landorus-T, including Glimmora, Gliscor, Clefable, and other Landorus-T, from either setting up entry hazards, setting up boosts, or using Defog. Explosion is useful for OHKOing or heavily chunking Pokemon like Great Tusk, Terapagos, Ogerpon-W, and Tornadus-T that could either remove Landorus-T’s hazards or use it as setup fodder; it also provides a free switch-in for a teammate to start applying pressure. Focus Sash allows Landorus-T to take almost any hit, allowing it to set up Stealth Rock or chip foes down with Earthquake or Explosion.

Landorus-T is an amazing Pokemon on hyper offense teams, as it can easily set up Stealth Rock and chip down foes for its teammates to start pressuring the opposing team. Pokemon like Dragon Dance Dragapult and Volcarona appreciate Landorus-T chipping their checks with hazard damage while also being able to heavily damage Pokemon like Great Tusk and Clefable with Explosion. Pokemon that can hit Landorus-T multiple times, either through multi-hit moves from Weavile and Urshifu-R or from Fake Out from Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham, can render it useless, as it can’t set up Stealth Rock in front of these Pokemon. Therefore, teammates like Volcarona, Dragonite, and Mega Scizor are useful to force out these Pokemon before Landorus-T comes in. Pokemon that can easily remove Landorus-T’s hazards like Great Tusk, Tornadus-T, and Gliscor can also be very problematic, so teammates like your own Great Tusk, Air Balloon Gholdengo, and Ogerpon-W can threaten them and consistently deny them chances to remove hazards.

Landorus-T is one of the best suicide leads you can find in the tier, as it’s huge Attack stat, great defensive typing, and useful utility movepool allows it to consistently set up Stealth Rock and deny the opponent from setting it up themselves. Earthquake is a useful option to chip down other Pokemon for it’s teammates while also denying Pokemon like Heatran, Toxapex, and Mega Tyranitar from setting up hazards. Don't need to explain having a STAB move. Taunt is used for stopping any Pokemon slower than Landorus-T from either setting up hazards, setting up boosts, or removing the Stealth Rock that Landorus-T sets up, including Garganacl, Not super relevant right now, maybe replace this with Glimmora as its one of the opposing leads that Lando is faster than Gliscor, Clefable, and other Landorus-T. Explosion is useful for either OHKOing or heavily chunking Pokemon like Great Tusk, Terapagos, Ogerpon-W, and Tornadus-T that could either remove Landorus-T’s hazards or use it as setup fodder. Focus Sash allows it to take any hit from Pokemon like Kyurem, Ogerpon-W, and Iron Valiant, You don't really need specific mentions here, just talk about how Focus Sash guarantees that it lives a hit to at least get rocks up allowing it to set up Stealth Rock or chip them down with Earthquake or Explosion.

Landorus-T is an amazing Pokemon on hyper offense teams, as it can easily set up Stealth Rock and chip down opposing Pokemon for its teammates to start pressuring the opposing team. Pokemon like Dragon Dance Dragapult and Volcarona also appreciate Landorus-T pressuring and chipping their checks like Toxapex and Mega Tyranitar, so they can break through those Pokémon to sweep. It's highly unlikely that opponents will actually leave these in versus Lando, just talk about how it sets up Stealth Rock vs them and can blast a hole in something like Clefable with Explosion. Pokemon that can get multiple hits on Landorus-T before it can set up rocks, either through multi-hit moves from Weavile and Kyurem, or from Fake Out from Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham, can render Landorus-T useless, as it can’t set up Stealth Rock in front of these Pokemon. Therefore, Pokemon like Iron Valiant and IronPress Zamazenta You probably wouldn't waste your booster energy or Dauntless Shield boosts just to anti-lead something, find some different examples that could force these out. are useful to take down force out these Pokémon before Landorus-T comes in. You don't really need to completely remove these because you just need to give Landorus-T a free switch in order to get Rocks up ideally. Pokemon that can also easily remove Landorus-T’s hazards like Great Tusk, Tornadus-T, and Gliscor can also be very problematic, so Pokemon that can threaten them like Ogerpon-W, Great Tusk, and Mega Diancie are amazing partners for it, as they can consistently deny these Pokemon chances to remove these hazards. Mention Air Balloon Gholdengo as well since he also can deny Great Tusk and Terapagos spinning while also dealing with Defoggers.

Trial QC 1/2 when implemented, nice work.

Explosion is useful for either OHKOing or heavily chunking Pokemon like Great Tusk, Terapagos, Ogerpon-W, and Tornadus-T that could either remove Landorus-T’s hazards or use it as setup fodder. need a mention of lando self-koing allowing keeping up momentum Focus Sash allows it to take almost you expand on this later already but just need to be factually correct any hit from Pokemon allowing it to set up Stealth Rock or chip them down with Earthquake or Explosion.

Landorus-T is an amazing Pokemon on hyper offense teams, as it can easily set up Stealth Rock and chip down opposing Pokemon for its teammates to start pressuring the opposing team. Pokemon like Dragon Dance Dragapult and Volcarona also appreciate Landorus-T pressuring and chipping their checks with the residual damage, while also being able to heavily damage Pokémon like Great Tusk and Clefable with Explosion. Pokemon that can get multiple hits on Landorus-T before it can set up rocks, either through multi-hit moves from Weavile and Kyurem Urshifu-R more common, or from Fake Out from Mega Lopunny and Mega Medicham, can render Landorus-T useless, as it can’t set up Stealth Rock in front of these Pokemon. Therefore, Pokemon like Mega Diancie <= this guy doesnt really fit as an example (especially since i removed kyurem oops) so change to something else and Mega Scizor are useful to force out these Pokémon before Landorus-T comes in Pokemon that can also easily remove Landorus-T’s hazards like Great Tusk, Tornadus-T, and Gliscor can also be very problematic, so Pokemon that can threaten them like Ogerpon-W, Great Tusk, and Air Balloon Gholdengo <= reorder these three examples to fit the stuff they check are amazing partners for it, as they can consistently deny these Pokemon chances to remove these hazards.


- coverage moves that affect its role, there's no need to explain simple STAB moves unless they're slashed;
- a description of the EV spread in one sentence or less; don't focus on "default" things like maximum Attack investment, do give reasoning behind the benchmarks chosen;
- an explanation of Tera types used and why they're beneficial.

Paragraph 2
- a brief example of teammates that benefit from the analysed Pokemon's presence;
- a brief example of foes that the analysed Pokemon is vulnerable to + teammates to help cover them.
nuking since this is second qc anyway
