While Koraidon is much more common and preferred over Landorus-T as a Choice Scarf user, Landorus-T has several key advantages that make it worth using instead on some teams. Its typing gives it STAB on Earthquake and an immunity to Sticky Web, allowing it to revenge kill non-Terastallized Zacian-C even when Sticky Web is up. This frees Koraidon to run more offensive sets, like Swords Dance and Choice Band. Furthermore, with Stone Edge, it is able to threaten Ho-Oh,while Koraidon needs significant chip or Terastallization to do so; do note that it is not guaranteed to OHKO defensive Ho-Oh from full HP. Access to Intimidate also allows it to help play around powerful physical attackers like Zacian-C, Koraidon, and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, though it cannot safely switch in more than once. Crunch is useful to KO Lunala when Shadow Shield is broken and hits Giratina-O without Terastallizing. A Jolly nature is needed for Landorus-T to be able to outrun Zacian-C and is useful for outrunning Timid Choice Scarf Kyogre. Tera Ground strengthens Earthquake, allowing Landorus-T to more easily revenge kill Koraidon, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, and Kyogre. Alternatively, Tera Fairy gives resistances to Dragon and Dark, which are useful against Kingambit and Outrage-locked Koraidon. Tera Fairy can also be used with Tera Blast to OHKO Koraidon and hit Giratina-O harder than Crunch.

Choice Scarf Landorus-T is best used to provide offensive partners free switches with its fast U-turn and free up partners to use more threatening sets. Koraidon and Arceus-Fairy in particular are great partners, as they are free to run Choice Band and Calm Mind sets, respectively, without needing to worry as much about Zacian-C revenge killing them or being slowed down by Sticky Web. Offensive partners like Koraidon, Zacian-C, Kyogre, Lunala, and Arceus-Fairy appreciate Landorus-T's U-turn giving them opportunities to safely switch in on Pokemon they threaten, like Kyogre, Giratina-O, and opposing Landorus-T. Arceus-Fairy in particular is an important partner for Landorus-T, as it can handle Swords Dance Koraidon, preserving HP on Landorus-T. Landorus-T's disappointing power on neutral targets can leave it prone to being set up on by bulky setup sweepers like Lunala, Calyrex-I, and opposing Calm Mind Arceus formes like Fairy and Ghost, so teammates that can handle them like Kyogre, Ho-Oh, and Kingambit are appreciated.

Furthermore, with Stone Edge, it is able to threaten to OHKO Ho-Oh, something Koraidon can lay no claim to.

252 Atk Landorus-Therian Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Ho-Oh: 364-432 (87.7 - 104%) -- 25% chance to OHKO

Add something about it being a roll on Ho-oh, or forcing it out by threatening the roll, because its not a guarantee, even without factoring in Stone Edge accuracy.

Also fix up the wording there, "can lay no claim to" doesnt read quite right to me.

I'd talk more about the utility U-Turn can provide, and mentioning other mons that appreciate the free forced entry it can provide (Kyogre, as an example), but overall this reads well.

QC 1/2.

While Koraidon is much more common and preferred than Landorus-T as a Choice Scarf user, Landorus-T has several key advantages that make it worth using instead on some teams. The main reason to use a non-Koraidon scarfer is that it makes it possible to use a breaker or set up sweeper Koraidon, you should mention this right away. Its typing gives it STAB on Earthquake and an immunity to Sticky Web, allowing it to revenge kill non-Terastallized Zacian-C even when Sticky Web is up. Furthermore, with Stone Edge, it is able to threaten Ho-Oh—while Koraidon needs significant chip or Terastallization to do so—though it is not guaranteed to OHKO defensive Ho-Oh from full HP. Access to Intimidate also allows it to help play around powerful physical attackers like Zacian-C, Koraidon, (add comma) and Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, though it cannot safely switch in more than once. Stealth Rock is used mainly to give Arceus-Fairy more freedom to run Calm Mind sets. uhmm this is weirdly specific lol, stealth rock on scarf lando-t is more of a role compression thing, and its pretty self explanatory so you can just remove this line entirely. [Move Tera Ground point here since its the first slash.] Alternatively, If your team already has a Stealth Rock user, Tera Blast in conjunction with Tera Fairy can be used to OHKO Koraidon and gives Landorus-T an option to hit Giratina-O and gives resistances to Dragon and Dark, which are useful against Outrage-locked Koraidon and Kingambit. A Jolly Nature is needed for Landorus-T to be able to outrun Zacian-C and is useful for outrunning Timid Choice Scarf Kyogre. Tera Ground strengthens Earthquake, allowing Landorus-T to more easily revenge kill Koraidon, Dragon Dance Arceus-Ground, and Kyogre. Tera Fairy is primarily used in conjunction with Tera Blast, but the resistances to Dragon and Dark are useful against Outrage-locked Koraidon and Kingambit.
