[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus is one of the tier's most terrifying wallbreakers thanks to its extremely strong STAB move combination and great Special Attack. The combination of sun-boosted Weather Ball and Earth Power lets it threaten common specially defensive walls such as Lunala, Lugia, and Galarian Slowking. U-turn lets Landorus avoid having to predict and helps bring in teammates safely, whereas Nasty Plot can boost its Special Attack crazy high, allowing it to OHKO physically defensive Arceus formes and 2HKO Sablenite Blissey. Stealth Rock helps chip down defensive walls, Taunt can help deny recovery and setup from the likes of Lunala, Eternatus, and Calm Mind Arceus formes, and Rock Slide helps Landorus take on Ho-Oh and Pinsirite Gouging Fire, which otherwise wall it, in which case a Naive nature should be run. Offensive pivots like Regieleki, Urshifu-R, and Galarian Zapdos appreciate Landorus's exceptional wallbreaking capabilities, as they can help pivot it in while also taking advantage of the weakened walls like Lunala, Eternatus, and Arceus formes. Landorus struggles greatly against Ho-Oh and Pinsirite Gouging Fire if it forgoes Rock Slide, so teammates that can reliably pressure these such as Iron Boulder and Garganacl are greatly appreciated. Landorus is fairly slow and vulnerable to faster threats such as Urshifu-R, Iron Boulder, and Speed-invested Arceus-Ground, so defensive teammates that can check these such as Corviknight, Lunala, and Latiasite Galarian Slowking are needed. Landorus is also prone to getting chipped down by entry hazards, so hazard removal from the likes of Corviknight, Regieleki, and Great Tusk can be helpful.
