[SET COMMENTS]

Offensive Landorus-T can be a true terror, as this set allows it to break through Pokemon that would normally switch into it, such as Gliscor, Alomomola, and Great Tusk. Swords Dance makes Landorus-T very threatening to slower teams, enabling it to break through Pokemon that would normally check it such as Ferrothorn and Alomomola. Stone Edge lets Landorus-T target foes like Zapdos and Mega Charizard Y. This set has a good matchup against most entry hazard removal options in the tier, so it keeps Stealth Rock up against foes like Corviknight and opposing Landorus-T.This can also dissuade Pokemon like Mega Charizard Y and non-Heavy-Duty Boots Dragonite from coming in on it. Fly targets foes like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Rillaboom. When running Fly, Flyinium Z should be used, as it gives Landorus-T the opportunity to OHKO Great Tusk and Zamazenta while also luring in Pokemon like Alomomola for big damage. With Rockium Z, Landorus-T can KO foes like Skarmory and Corviknight with the combination of +2Continental Crush and Stone Edge; otherwise, these two would come in comfortably on Landorus-T.

This variant of Landorus-T is usually found on more offensive structures. These teams appreciate Landorus-T's Electric immunity to block Volt Switch and Raging Bolt's Thunderclap. Landorus-T's ability to pressure physical walls like Alomomola can enable teammates like Kingambit and Melmetal. These teammates appreciate Landorus-T being able to pressure their switch-ins such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta with Flyinium Z and Rockium for Corviknight. Landorus-T appreciates Kingambit spamming Knock Off. Iron Valiant appreciates Landorus-T being able to remove its checks, such as Toxapex and Galarian Slowking, so that it can clean up in the late-game. Dragon Dance Dragapult values its checks in Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn being pressured by Landorus-T, especially non-Will-O-Wisp sets. Landorus-T is vulnerable to Water-type Pokemon such as Ogerpon-W and Urshifu-R, so it appreciates Pokemon like Raging Bolt and Dragonite to switch in and force these foes out. Landorus-T can struggle with Ice-types, as they outspeed and OHKO it; therefore,teammates like Ferrothorn and Kingambit are appreciated.

Offensive Landorus-T can be a true terror as this set allow it to break through Pokemon that would normally switch into it, such as Gliscor, Mega Charizard Y, and Zapdos. Kinda iffy imo since both of these are scared of Stone Edge, which Scarf can also run. I would include bulky neutral targets like Alomomola and Great Tusk here instead. Swords Dance can help it score a 2HKO on foes such as Ferrothorn and Alomomola With Earthquake. Stone Edge grants it the opportunity to target foes like the aforementioned Zapdos and Mega Charizard Y. Stealth Rock can be used as a possible slot as it amplifies its breaking potential this can also dissuade Pokemon like Mega Charizard Y and Dragonite lacking Heavy-Duty Boots from coming in on it. Fly can also be an option which targets foes like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Rillaboom. Phrase this so its clear that Fly should always be run with FlyiniumFlynium Z can be used as it gives Landorus-T the opportunity to OHKO Great Tusk and Zamazenta. Rockium Z can be used as well which grants it the opportunity to 2HKO foes like Skamory and Corviknight which would otherwise come in comfortably on Landorus-T.

This variant of Landorus-T is usually found on more offensive structures paired with Pokemon like Kingambit, Dragapult, and Iron Valiant. These teams appreciate Landorus-T's ability to provide an Electric immunity to block Volt Switch and Thunder Clap from foes like Raging Bolt. Also it providing It also provides Stealth Rock which assists its teammates like Kingambit. Kingambit also appreciates Landorus-T being able to pressure its switch-ins such as Great Tusk, Zamazenta and Corviknight. Merge the last two sentences together, it'll just flow better. Landorus-T appreciates Kingambit spamming Knock Off which weaknens the opposition. Iron Valiant appreciate Landorus-T being able to remove its checks such as Toxapex and Galarian Slowking so it can clean up in the late-game. Dragon Dance Dragapult values its checks in Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn being pressured by Landorus-T especially sets that lack Will-O-Wisp. Landorus-T is vulnerable to Water-Type Pokemon such as Ogerpon-W and Urshifu-R so it appreciates Pokemon like Raging Bolt and Dragonite to switch in and force these foes out.


Mention what specifically appreciates what Z-Move, i.e Kingambit liking Flyinium getting rid of Tusk and Zama, or Melmetal or Great Tusk appreciating the removal of birds.

Offensive Landorus-T can be a true terror as this set allow it to break through Pokemon that would normally switch into it, such as Gliscor, Alomomola, and Great Tusk. Swords Dance can help it score a 2HKO on foes such as Ferrothorn and Alomomola With Earthquake how does that contribute to what the set tries to do? talk about how SD makes it more threatening especially against slower teams. Stone Edge grants it the opportunity to target foes like the aforementioned <= were not mentioned before Zapdos and Mega Charizard Y. Stealth Rock can be used as a possible slot as it amplifies its breaking potential <= how? it isn't so much this as role compression, against offense this set sometimes cant accomplish as much so at rocks lets it at least do something this can also dissuade Pokemon like Mega Charizard Y and Dragonite lacking Heavy-Duty Boots from coming in on it. Fly can also be an option which targets foes like Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Rillaboom. When running Fly; Flynium Z should be used as it gives Landorus-T the opportunity to OHKO Great Tusk and Zamazenta Z fly lets this set lure asw stuff like mola like to come in. Rockium Z can be used as well which grants it the opportunity to 2HKO foes like Skamory Skarmory and Corviknight which would otherwise come in comfortably on Landorus-T.

This variant of Landorus-T is usually found on more offensive structures paired with Pokemon like Kingambit, Dragapult, and Iron Valiant why? you explain what lando does in the next sentence but the partners suggested here are just left hanging until much later, remove this initial mention would work. These teams appreciate Landorus-T's ability to provide an Electric immunity to block Volt Switch and Thunder Clap from foes like Raging Bolt. It also provides Stealth Rock which assists its teammates like Kingambit and Melmetal which happens to appreciate Landorus-T being able to pressure its switch-ins such as Great Tusk and Zamazenta with Flynium Z and Rockium for Corviknight. <= it doesn't always carry rocks though, rephrase that first part Landorus-T appreciates Kingambit spamming Knock Off which weaknens the opposition. Iron Valiant appreciate Landorus-T being able to remove its checks such as Toxapex and Galarian Slowking so it can clean up in the late-game. Dragon Dance Dragapult values its checks in Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn being pressured by Landorus-T especially sets that lack Will-O-Wisp. Landorus-T is vulnerable to Water-Type Pokemon such as Ogerpon-W and Urshifu-R so it appreciates Pokemon like Raging Bolt and Dragonite to switch in and force these foes out. can include mentions of teammates for ice types like kyurem (steels like kgb)
