[SET COMMENTS]
Choice Scarf allows Landorus to outrun nearly all unboosted Pokemon, letting it act as a frightening revenge killer. Sludge Wave is Landorus's best coverage option, hitting Fairy-types like Zacian, Clefable, and Hatterene for super effective damage. Focus Blast provides Landorus with a coverage option against Arceus-Dark, Kyurem-W, and Skarmory, which it would otherwise have difficulty removing. Psychic is useful as a more accurate option that hits Landorus-T and opposing Landorus, while also removing pesky Air Balloons from Gholdengo. U-turn allows Landorus to keep up momentum, pivoting out safely into Pokemon such as Great Tusk and Arceus-Dark on incoming walls like Blissey and Giratina. Stealth Rock is an option over U-turn, allowing Landorus to function as lead and take advantage of the switches it forces against Pokemon like Dialga, Magearna, and Galarian Slowking, but it generally is not preferred. Tera Water can be used to enhance Landorus's defensive profile, removing its crippling Ice weakness and enabling it to survive Wave Crash and Jet Punch from Palafin, while Tera Ground can be used to let it OHKO Zamazenta-C and Arceus-Electric after Stealth Rock. Landorus fits excellently on offensive teams that aim to wear down foes by trading KOs? heavily, as it is an incredibly potent revenge killer; as a result, Sneasler, Palkia-O, and Ogerpon-H make for excellent partners. Landorus struggles to break robust special walls like Giratina and Blissey, so it enjoys the presence of strong physical wallbreakers like Zacian and Great Tusk. As Choice Scarf Landorus forgos holding Life Orb, it can find itself lacking in upfront damage and relying on entry hazard support from Pokemon such as Magearna, Great Tusk, and Skarmory to wear them its checks down. Landorus is outsped by Regieleki and Deoxys-S, so it appreciates Pokemon like Magearna and Solgaleo that can resist their attacks.

Choice Scarf allows Landorus to outrun nearly all unboosted Pokemon, allowing it to act as a frightening revenge killer. Sludge Wave is boosted by Sheer Force to become one of Landorus' most potent coverage options, hitting Fairy-types like Zacian, Clefable, and Hatterene for super effective damage. Focus Blast provides it with a tool to hit Landorus with a coverage option against Arceus-Dark, Kyurem-White, and Skarmory, who it would otherwise have difficulty removing. Psychic is useful as a more consistent option, providing more accurate coverage and hitting Landorus-T and opposing Landorus, while also removing those pesky Air Balloons from Gholdengo. (No U-turn line at all?) (Optional: Stealth Rock can be utilised to allow Landorus to function as a frightening lead, threatening other leads like Dialga, Rillaboom, and Ninetales-A out and taking advantage of the free turn to set up hazards.) (I get what your trying to write here, and i did give you permission to add it over discord dicussion, but i would not write it like this. I would write it along the lines of "Stealth Rock is an option over U-turn, allowing Landorus to function as lead and take advantage on the switchins it forces on Pokemon like X and Y, but generally is not preferred and does not give Landorus the ability to pivot.) Tera Water can be used to enhance Landorus' defensive profile, removing its crippling Ice weakness and enabling it to survive Fire-type attacks from Chi-Yu (You outspeed Chi-Yu so this does not rly matter. maybe mention Ice-type attacks from Kyurem-W instead. Also no Tera Ground mention at all?? You could mention how it boosts Earth Power and makes Landorus do stuff like OHKO Zamazenta-C / Arceus-Electric after Rocks) and Wave Crash or and Jet Punch from Palafin. Landorus fits excellently on offensive teams that aim to wear down opponents by trading heavily, as it is an incredibly potent revenge killer, as such, Sneasler, Palkia-Origin, and Ogerpon-Hearthflame make for excellent partners. While it has a good Speed stat, Landorus can struggle against faster foes like Unburden Sneasler and Trailblaze Zacian, while also being prone to being revenged by strong priority like Aqua Jet Urshifu-R and Grassy Glide from Rillaboom, so it appreciates having strong defensive partners like Giratina, Magearna, and Toxapex to switch into.
(Rly wouldnt say it struggles against these two, Sneaslers stabs are resisted by lando and its gets OKHOd and TB Zacian is a meme lol, maybe mention stuff like SpD walls like Tina / Clef / Bliss who Lando can struggle against so Pokemon like Zacian and Tusky who can take these two on are helpful. Make also mention Entry Hazards from Mag / Tusk / Skarm who help Landos somewhat lacking attacking stats since it can't run LO.)

As Landorus is unable to hold Life Orb it can find itself lacking in up front damage, and relies on entry hazard support from Pokemon such as Magearna, Great Tusk, and Skarmory who can help to wear down foes (such as?).

implemented thank you xx
before I mark it as done though I wanted to ask if there's anyway we can elaborate on the sludge wave sentence? "Sludge Wave hits Fairy-types like Zacian, Clefable, and Hatterene for super effective damage." just reads awfully bland and robotic to me, I've added a tiny bit of flavour text and made it "Sludge Wave is Landorus's best coverage option, hitting Fairy-types like Zacian, Clefable, and Hatterene for super effective damage." but just wanted to make sure that was okay before marking it finished
