BSS Landorus-T

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate

Landorus-T is an unsurprising staple in any metagame, even one with Dynamax, with it adapting to its surroundings as a bulky Dynamax sweeper. This specially defensive EV spread allows Landorus-T to tank Max Airstream from offensive Zapdos and set up with Swords Dance to counter with its own Dynamax. The Speed tier allows it to outspeed Nihilego after one Max Airstream. The spread also denies Porygon2 a Special Attack boost from Download, which ultimately allows Landorus-T to push through most Porygon2 variants with +2 Max Quake. After Swords Dance and its summoned sand, Max Rockfall is a favorable roll to OHKO offensive Zapdos, and possible Life Orb recoil on Zapdos only improves the matchup. Toxapex stands out as a notable teammate to slowly wear down foes with Toxic, Baneful Bunker, and Scald burns, and it also eases matchups against opposing Water-types such as Tapu Fini and Urshifu-R. Celesteela is a problem for this set as well, so the classic Zapdos and Cinderace also make for strong teammates to deter it at Team Preview.

Also worth noting that this spread denies a SpA Download boost to P2 and also trucks through an Analytic variant with Max Quake SpD boosts denying a 2HKO from Hailstorm while 3HKOing the common P2 spreads through Dynamax with +2 Max Quake.

That's a bit of a wordy sentence to add, and I know we're short on characters but I think this is quite valuable to note since this Lando set is perfect for breaking Zap/P2 cores. Perhaps you can drop the sentence about Rock Slide > Edge and even the offensive Zapdos calc if needed.

Other than that, QC 1/1

I just removed the Rock Slide vs Stone Edge sentence and added mentions of the Porygon2 matchups since it's not entirely necessary to mention the Rock move choice. I couldn't really fit the details about Special Defense boosts from Max Quake but that is hopefully implied so I'll just leave this as is.

I think this is fine as is unless chemcoop or someone else thinks there's any other must-have mentions to throw into that space. Thanks!
