Earth Power can be used on an array of different targets such as Sableye, Mega Garchomp, Clefable, and Mega Venusaur. Focus Blast pairs nicely with Earth Power to hit the Steel-types Earth Power cannot handle such as Skarmory while also covering Dark- and Normal-types such as Hydreigon, Tyranitar, Porygon2, and Staraptor. Knock Off allows Landorus to remove items such as Chansey's Eviolite, Tornadus-T's Assault Vest, and Bronzong's Leftovers. Rock Slide allows Landorus to OHKO Fire-type threats such as Mega Charizard Y and Volcarona, which can otherwise tank its attacks once. It, in tandem with Focus Blast, is also useful in the mirror matchup, letting Landorus break the core of Skarmory and Zapdos. Stealth Rock allows Landorus and its teammates to better take on foes such as Mega Charizard Y and Life Orb Kyurem-B. Due to its offensive prowess, Landorus forces a ton of switches, allowing it multiple opportunities to safely set up Stealth Rock throughout the match. Sheer Force in combination with Life Orb allows Landorus to hit with devastating power, OHKOing Staraptor after chip damage from Stealth Rock and 2HKOing bulky walls such as Mega Venusaur. Sheer Force also negates Life Orb's damage recoil. Maximum Special Attack and Speed investment alongside a Naive nature allows Landorus to outpace threats such as Hydreigon and Volcarona while not reducing the power of Knock Off. Additionally, Landorus can tank a single V-create from Choice Scarf Victini at full health and revenge kill it.

All of Landorus's teammates appreciate its ability to set Stealth Rock, provide a switch into Electric-type attacks, and remove items such as Latios's Choice Specs with Knock Off on the switch. Skarmory can switch into Ice-type attackers such as Mamoswine and Weavile for Landorus while also being able to sponge physical attacks from threats such as Terrakion and Mega Pinsir. Additionally, Skarmory can cripple foes such as Zapdos on the switch with Toxic, allowing Landorus to break them easier down the road. In return, Landorus can handle offensive threats that can overwhelm Skarmory such as Hydreigon and Kyurem-B. Tornadus-T acts as a special pivot thanks to Regenerator and Assault Vest allowing it to sponge special attacks such as Choice Specs Latios's Draco Meteor with ease. Additionally, it can safely pivot in Landorus with U-turn on forced switches as well as form a Knock Off core with Landorus. Zapdos is another special wall that can switch to alleviate Landorus's pressure to check faster Electric-type Pokemon, which often carry Hidden Power Ice, thanks to its Electric neutrality and access to Roost. It also provides Defog support, can weaken foes such as Wish Mega Gardevoir with Toxic, and can pivot Landorus in safely with Volt Switch. Mega Charizard Y forms the ultimate Steel-breaking core with Landorus, absolutely demolishing every Steel-type alongside it with Fire Blast and Focus Blast. Its ability Drought and coverage in Solar Beam also allow it to act as a soft check to offensive Water-types. Mega Gyarados is a phenomenal setup sweeper and can clean through Psychic teams with Crunch or Ground teams with Waterfall. Additionally, it can prevent passive Pokemon such as Mandibuzz, Staraptor, and Skarmory from clearing entry hazards with Taunt. Thundurus breaks through Ground, Water, and Flying teams with Grass Knot, Thunderbolt, and Hidden Power Ice. It becomes a phenomenal wallbreaker that is able to take on threats such as Zapdos after a Nasty Plot boost and Stealth Rock chip. Dragonite can break special walls such as Zapdos, Chansey, and Tyranitar with Outrage and Superpower as well as revenge kill boosted threats such as Volcarona, Mega Sharpedo, and Cloyster with Extreme Speed.

Earth Power hits Fire-, Poison-, Rock-, and Steel-types such as Victini, Nidoking, Terrakion, and Jirachi. Focus Blast targets Normal- and Dark-types like Porygon2 and Hydreigon; it is also Landorus's primary move for hitting most Ground-immune foes like Rotom-W, Skarmory, Mandibuzz, and Staraptor. Knock Off cripples Eviolite users such as Chansey and Porygon2 and deals more damage to certain Ground-immune foes like Latios, Latias, Bronzong, and Gengar. Gravity lets Landorus and its teammates freely spam their Ground-type attacks, albeit for a limited number of turns. Sheer Force nullifies Life Orb recoil and increases the damage output of Earth Power and Focus Blast. However, Landorus will still take Life Orb recoil when using Knock Off.

Landorus helps Ground teams by using its powerful special attacks to wear down physical walls, most notably Skarmory and Rotom-W. It can also set Gravity, allowing its teammates to spam their Ground-type attacks. Mega Garchomp can use Stone Edge to check Flying-types such as Mega Charizard Y, Gyarados, and Tornadus-T and has access to Fire Blast, allowing it to deal with Steel-types like Mega Scizor. Excadrill in sand can offensively check some of the faster threats to Landorus like Weavile, Thundurus, and Expert Belt Heliolisk. Mamoswine revenge kills weakened threats with Ice Shard and deals with Dragon-types like Latios and Latias and Flying-types such as Gliscor, Tornadus-T, and Thundurus. Hippowdon works as a physically defensive wall that can tank moves from attackers like Hawlucha and Mega Gallade and passively damage foes by setting sand and Stealth Rock. Gastrodon is a Water-immune, specially defensive wall with reliable recovery that proves very useful against Pokemon such as Rotom-W. Seismitoad is a more offensive Water-immune teammate that can check Gastrodon and Belly Drum Azumarill. Nidoking threatens slower Flying- and Steel-types like Dragonite, Zapdos, Ferrothorn, and Mega Scizor. With Toxic Spikes, it can passively chip foes and help Landorus against some of its usual checks like Gastrodon.
