Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Name: Substitute + Bulk Up (Flying)
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 88 SpD / 12 Spe
Impish Nature
- Substitute
- Bulk Up
- Earthquake
- Smack Down

[SET COMMENTS]
With its great natural bulk and decent defensive typing, Landorus-T finds many opportunities to set up with Bulk Up and wallbreak. At +1, it notably OHKOes specially defensive Toxapex and physically defensive Amoonguss, the latter after taking Stealth Rock damage. Substitute allows Landorus-T to take advantage of passive threats such as Blissey, Archaludon, and Amoonguss to set up. Smack Down hits Flying-types like Articuno, and it removes the Ground immunity from the likes of Corviknight, Skarmory, and Rotom-W so that they can be taken out with Earthquake. The given EV spread ensures that Landorus-T's Substitute isn't broken by Foul Play or Giga Drain from Amoonguss. 12 Speed EVs allow it to Speed tie with Adamant Tyranitar with maximum Speed EVs.

Gliscor and Skarmory provide entry hazard support to aid Landorus-T's wallbreaking. Additionally, Gliscor can either remove crucial items with Knock Off or spread status with Toxic, while Skarmory can handle Dark- and Ice-type physical attackers like Kingambit, Weavile, and Mamoswine with IronPress. In return, Skarmory appreciates Landorus-T taking on Fire- and Electric-types such as Heatran, Cinderace, and Regieleki. Corviknight also appreciates the removal of said Fire- and Electric-types, and in return, it removes hazards with Defog and can pivot Landorus-T in on them. Articuno can take hits such as Pelipper's Water-type STAB moves and Greninja and Kyurem's Ice Beam, threatening the former back with Freeze-Dry. Physically defensive Gyarados can spread paralysis with Thunder Wave so that Landorus-T can outspeed and threaten would-be faster foes like the Ogerpon formes and Gouging Fire. In return, both Articuno and Gyarados appreciate Landorus-T providing an Electric immunity to take on Regieleki and non-Air Balloon Raging Bolt. Choice Scarf Enamorus provides speed control for Flying teams, outpacing and taking out the likes of Dragapult, Choice Specs Greninja, and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, and Landorus-T takes out Steel-types like non-Air Balloon Gholdengo, Heatran, and Iron Crown in return. Setup sweepers such as Tornadus-T, Galarian Moltres, and Dragonite appreciate Landorus-T's wallbreaking against the likes of Raging Bolt and Hisuian Goodra, so they can freely set up and sweep late-game.

With its great natural bulk and decent defensive typing, Landorus-T finds many opportunities to boost with Bulk Up and wallbreak. At +1, it notably OHKOes specially defensive Toxapex and has a good chance to 2HKO physically defensive Amoonguss. Substitute allows Landorus-T to take advantage of passive threats such as Blissey, Archaludon, and Amoonguss to boost. Smack Down hits Flying-types like Articuno, and it removes the Ground immunity from the likes of Corviknight, Skarmory, and Rotom-W so that they can be taken out with Earthquake. The given EV spread ensures that Landorus-T's Substitute isn't broken by Foul Play or Giga Drain from Amoonguss. (Mention that you speed tie Adamant Max speed TTar)

Gliscor and Skarmory provide entry hazards support to aid Landorus-T's wallbreaking. Additionally, Gliscor can either remove crucial items with Knock Off or spread status with Toxic, while Skarmory handles Dark and Ice-type physical attackers like Kingambit, and Weavile, and Mamoswine with Iron Defense + Body Press. In return, Skarmory appreciates Landorus-T taking on Fire- and Electric-types such as Heatran, Cinderace, and Regieleki. Corviknight also appreciates the removal of said Fire- and Electric-types, and in return, it removes hazards with Defog and can pivot Landorus-T in on them. Articuno is a great defensive partner, as it can take hits from Water-type attacks from Greninja (I feel like there should be a better example since Gren locks into Ice beam most of the time), Keldeo Pelipper (Calm Mind Secret Sword makes this shakey, gone with Peli instead since Surf is a listed option on the sample and Hurricane Breaks Sub so confusion risks), and Primarina and threaten them back with Freeze-Dry (Could also mention U-turn for pivoting). Physically defensive Gyarados can spread paralysis with Thunder Wave so that Landorus-T outspeeds and threatens would-be faster threats like the Ogerpon formes and Gouging Fire. Choice Scarf Enamorus provides speed control for Flying teams, outpacing and taking out the likes of Dragapult, Zamazenta Choice Specs Greninja, and non-Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, and Landorus-T takes out Steel-types like non-Air Balloon Gholdengo, Heatran, and Iron Crown in return. Setup sweepers such as Tornadus-T, Galarian Moltres, and Dragonite all appreciate Landorus-T's wallbreaking so they can freely set up and sweep late-game. (Some examples? Like Raging Bolt for all of them while something like Hisuian Goodra for the specials and Weezing-G for DNite.)

With its great natural bulk and decent defensive typing, Landorus-T finds many opportunities to boost set up with Bulk Up and wallbreak break down walls (not sure if "wallbreak" is used as a verb, wallbreaker is used as a noun tho). At +1, it notably OHKOes specially defensive Toxapex and has a good chance to 2HKO physically defensive Amoonguss (its a 64.5% chance which is worse than Focus Blast landing. wouldn't use good as an adjective here. u could change it to "OHKOes physically defensive Amoonguss after Stealth Rock").

Implemented, tho i have one concern

"(mention that in return lando provides an electric immunity for gyara and articuno)"

I decided not to add this cuz this is basically true for most flying-types, not just both of them. Most of the teammates mentioned bar gliscor basically appreciate this

the reason i asked this to be added was because this is the sole synergy between articuno-lando and gyara-lando. other mons like skarm/corv do appreciate the immunity but they have some more noteworthy things to offer in their partnership with lando, which trumps lando's use-case as an electric-immune mon.
to explain this:
articuno - absorbs sp ice attacks in exchange for elec immunity
gyara - spreads paralysis and switches into icicle crash from stuff like mamo in exchange for elec immunity
skarm - kills dark/ice types like gambit and weav in exchange for lando dealing with rotom-h and heatran, while also offering elec immunity

so in the skarm use-case, lando's elec immunity is secondary but for articuno/gyara use-cases lando's elec immunity is primary which is why i believe it is imperative to mention it to highlight their synergy more emphatically

Oki implemented
 
Gliscor and Skarmory provide entry hazards hazard support (hazards wont be plural here despite the variety) to aid Landorus-T's wallbreaking.

Additionally, Gliscor can either remove crucial items with Knock Off or spread status with Toxic, while Skarmory can handle Dark- and Ice-type physical attackers like Kingambit, Weavile, and Mamoswine with Iron Defense + Body Press IronPress (this is officially recognized as idbp and is much cleaner).
