Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge / Smack Down
Offensive Landorus-T is a force of nature in OU! Swords Dance uses Landorus-T's great Attack stat, solid coverage, and STAB Earthquake to make it a threatening wallbreaker. Substitute takes advantage of common defensive Pokemon like Landorus-T, Corviknight, and Ferrothorn lacking Power Whip, putting it in a great position to boost and begin wallbreaking. This easily exploits defensive Landorus-T looking to trade Toxic. Stone Edge lets it hit Ground-immune Pokemon, like Tornadus-T, Galarian Moltres, and Zapdos. Smack Down can be used over Stone Edge to ground Pokemon like Corviknight and Rotom-W, which can sponge Stone Edge but fall to Earthquake once grounded. However, it does come with a significant power decrease and inconsistency against Flying-type cores. Teammates like Hawlucha, Kartana, and Dragonite can easily clean up teams weakened by Landorus-T. Pivots like Tornadus-T and Slowbro, which can bring Landorus-T in against Pokemon it can set up on like Tapu Koko, are greatly appreciated teammates.
