50 Shades of Orus

Today's featured charismatic Pokemon is Landorus . His ability to inflict pain onto the metagame led him to catch the eye of doubles players around the globe, hoping to reach invitationals with him. He is, after all, the uncontested best special attacker in the tier. Sheer Power coupled with Life Orb and good coverage lets him delete meta threats like Diancie and Incineroar.

The sample set is as given :

Sample Landorus

Landorus (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Poison/Water/Ghost/Steel
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power/Taunt/Substitute
- Sludge Bomb/Psychic
- Sandsear Storm/Taunt/Substitute/Imprison/Psychic/U-turn
- Protect

I still included Imprison because even though you can't stop Sandsear it does let you switch Ogerpon-Wellspring in easily. Psychic lets you hit the opposing Landorus.

How to answer Landorus ? Speed control and super effective damage, here are the main things to watch out for :

Calculations

252+ Atk Choice Band Tera Normal Sword of Ruin Dragonite Extreme Speed vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Landorus: 319-376 (100 - 117.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252+ SpA Choice Specs Tera Steel Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Landorus: 396-466 (124.1 - 146%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+1 252 SpA Glimmora Meteor Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Landorus: 354-417 (110.9 - 130.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Knock Off from Roaring Moon is also a very good answer. There are more but you get the idea.
Now for the Ice types clicking Ice moves, Tera is your only option, but a lot of those KOs can be avoided with some bulk investment and, just like the too-famous fictional character, Landorus lives by a code : "Hitting once is good, hitting twice is better". So here are some alternate Landorus sets that will let you get in more attacks than you would by using the sample set :

Ideal when you have an Intimidate user on your team and still want to outspeed Timid Kyurem :

He lives Dragonite!

livesespeedorus (Landorus) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Poison/Steel/Water
EVs: 196 HP / 28 Def / 76 SpA / 208 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Sludge Bomb
- Stealth Rock
- Protect

When you don't need to respect Timid Kyurem, you need bulk on Landorus and you need to KO Gholdengo through redirection :

Modest max speed Landorus

KOsgholdorus (Landorus) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Poison/Steel/Water
EVs: 120 HP / 136 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Sludge Bomb
- Sandsear Storm
- Protect

When you don't run Intimidate, have Icy Wind support and wish to live a hit from Ogerpon-Wellspring and Hearthflame. Rather controversial :

The fabled Fatorus

fatorus (Landorus) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 216 HP / 248 Def / 44 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Sludge Bomb
- Stealth Rock
- Protect

When all you care about is living Wood Hammer :

He lives Rillaboom!

livesrillaborus (Landorus) (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 132 HP / 124 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sandsear Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Earth Power/Nasty Plot
- Protect

When you have no support for Landorus but still want Landorus instead of Glimmora because your team already has three Ground-weak Pokemon :

Coping

sashorus (Landorus) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Ghost/Ground
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Earth Power
- Sludge Bomb
- Stealth Rock
- Protect

When you have no speed control or you wanna be spicy in the builder. Never ever run Modest, outspeeding Scarf Chi-yu, Booster Energy Iron Crown and Booster Energy Gouging Fire is the whole appeal of the set.

Choice Scarf

scarforus (Landorus) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Ghost/Ground/Bug
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- U-turn
- Earth Power
- Sandsear Storm
- Sludge Bomb

I saw Grassy Seed Landorus during DWCOP, I mean, why not with Nasty Plot. At +2, this will KO all the Pokemon that set their EVs to live Earth Power. Very evil :

Setup

seedorus (Landorus) @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Sheer Force
Tera Type: Water/Poison
EVs: 140 HP / 160 SpA / 208 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sandsear Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Nasty Plot
- Protect

DWCOP SS teams :

I stole two teams from Nails replays and loaded an updated version of Lele sand

: The Diancie should be Safety Goggles but I put Rindo because the team struggles slightly into Rillaboom and Actuarily had no Amoonguss usage. Zeraora lives Wood Hammer and Draco Meteor from Life Orb Naganadel. This set is nice if you don't care about being outsped by Dragapult.

Tapu Fini lives Sludge Bomb, I stole that set idea from Noelle. Urshifu lives Expanding Force from Necrozma.

Eject Button is just there to bring Dracovish in more easily.
