[SET COMMENTS]
Access to Sheer Force, a variety of coverage moves, and a phenomenal Speed tier thanks to Choice Scarf make Landorus an elite revenge killer on Ground teams, taking out Choice Specs Greninja and all Ogerpon formes after entry hazard damage. Focus Blast tears apart Dark-types and Ground-immune Steel-type Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Hydreigon, and Orthworm. Psychic makes the Fighting matchup a lot easier, OHKOing Great Tusk, Urshifu-R, and Iron Valiant, as well as taking out Galarian Weezing after Stealth Rock damage, making the Poison matchup extremely one sided. Sludge Bomb aids in the Fairy matchup, OHKOing Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Azumarill, and helps greatly against Grass-type Pokemon that Ground-type teams would otherwise struggle to break, taking out prominent threats such as Breloom and Hisuian Lilligant. U-turn is a great pivot option for Landorus, gaining momentum by scaring out Pokemon it threatens while inflicting damage on the replacement and getting switch initiative.

Landorus cowers in fear at the thought of a single snowflake, which is why Quagsire is a great teammate for it. Quagsire is able to stand up to terrifying Ice-type move users such as Swords Dance Chien-Pao, Swords Dance Urshifu-R, Azumarill without Trailblaze, and Baxcalibur, as well as providing entry hazard support via Spikes and Stealth Rock and spreading Toxic to soften foes up for Landorus. Iron Treads forms a wonderful core with Landorus as well, switching in on foes that attack with Ice-type moves, such as Articuno, Frosmoth, and Alolan Ninetales, and hitting back with a very powerful Heavy Slam or Iron Head. Iron Treads can also remove Stealth Rock via Rapid Spin and remove items via Knock Off, increasing Landorus's longevity and wallbreaking capabilities. Ice Spinner is also an option to take out opposing Landorus and Gliscor. In turn, Landorus can switch into a weakened Ogerpon-H as well as Ground- and Fighting-type attacks that would make quick work of Iron Treads. Landorus also appreciates Pokemon such as Water Absorb Clodsire and Storm Drain Gastrodon, as they can switch in to Water-type attacks from Pokemon such as Walking Wake, Barraskewda, and Basculegion-F. Clodsire is a very good special wall, while Gastrodon takes neutral damage from Ice Beam as well as walling Choice Scarf Greninja and providing a myriad of hazard support. Both Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B complement Landorus nicely, as they are able to switch into Ghost-type attacks from Pokemon that Landorus would otherwise struggle against, such as Flutter Mane and Air Balloon Gholdengo. Ursaluna-B is also capable of picking off weakened Dark-type Pokemon such as Kingambit, Greninja, and Chien-Pao with Vacuum Wave. In turn, Landorus can switch in on the Fighting-type attacks that would trouble Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B, and threatening the foe with Psychic. Gliscor is another great teammate for Landorus, as it is able to whittle down opponents via Knock Off and Toxic. Mamoswine is able to take down the Flying-type Pokemon that Landorus would otherwise be ineffective against and can also make use of its Thick Fat ability to tank some additional Ice-type moves. Sandy Shocks not only can set hazards but also can pivot around with Volt Switch, allowing Landorus to come in on an easy target.

Access to Sheer Force, a variety of coverage moves, and a phenomenal Speed tier thanks to Choice Scarf makes Landorus an elite revenge killer on Ground teams (Its biggest target is bonking DD Bax with no Ice Shard and Ogerpon and/or Fightings). Focus Blast tears apart Dark- and Ground-immune Steel-type Pokemon such as Chien-Pao (notably jumpscares pao, not so much on the other 2 though. Also deals with Bax [if it hits], Scarf Tusk cant because speedtie while Treads outright cant), Hydreigon, Orthworm, and Corviknight*. Psychic makes the Fighting matchup a lot easier, OHKOing Great Tusk, Urshifu-R, and Iron Valiant, as well as OHKOing Galarian Weezing after Stealth Rock damage, making the Poison matchup extremely one-sided. Sludge Bomb aids in the Fairy matchup, OHKOing Iron Valiant, Enamorus (Scarfed), and Azumarill.(Ogerpon is the main reason) Sludge Bomb also helps greatly against Grass-type Pokemon that Ground-type teams would otherwise struggle to break, OHKOing prominent threats such as Breloom, Meowscarada (scarfed), and Hisuian Lilligant. U-turn is a great pivot option for Landorus, gaining momentum by scaring out Pokemon it threatens, while inflicting damage on the replacement and getting switch initiative (filler, mention its checks if you want to tho).

Landorus cowers in fear at the thought of a single snowflake, which is why Quagsire is a great teammate for it. Quagsire is able to stand up to terrifying Ice-type Pokemon such as Chien-Pao and Baxcalibur, as well as providing entry hazard support via Spikes and Stealth Rock, as well as being able to spread Toxic to soften foes up for Landorus. Iron Treads forms a wonderful core with Landorus as well. Iron Treads is able to switch in to foes that attack with Freeze-Dry, such as Articuno and Alolan Ninetales, and hitting back with a very powerful Heavy Slam or Iron Head. Iron Treads can also remove Stealth Rock via Rapid Spin, and remove items via Knock Off, increasing Landorus' longevity and wall-breaking capabilities. In turn, Landorus can switch in to Ground-type attacks that would make quick work of Iron Treads (add Lando dealing with Pon and Fightings if you want). Landorus also appreciates Pokemon such as Water Absorb Clodsire and Storm Drain Gastrodon, as they can switch in to Water-type attacks from Pokemon such as Walking Wake, Barraskewda, and Basculegion-F (clod also is a decent special wall all around, while Gastro is able to withstand ice beams quite well). Both Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B compliment Landorus nicely, as they are able to switch in to Ghost-type attacks from Pokemon that Landorus would otherwise struggle against, such as Flutter Mane and Air Balloon Gholdengo. In turn, Landorus can switch in to the Fighting-type attacks that would trouble Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B, and threatening the foe with Psychic.

Access to Sheer Force, a variety of coverage moves, and a phenomenal Speed tier thanks to Choice Scarf makes Landorus an elite revenge killer on Ground teams, taking out Baxcalibur without Ice Shard (68.8% to OHKO is very risky in my opinion. You could use Choice Specs Greninja as an example instead) and all Ogerpon formes (Sludge Bomb doesn't OHKO, so reword it like: Landorus revenge kills weakened Ogerpon). Focus Blast tears apart Dark- and Ground-immune Steel-type Pokemon such as Chien-Pao, Hydreigon, and Orthworm. Psychic makes the Fighting matchup a lot easier, OHKOing Great Tusk, Urshifu-R, and Iron Valiant, as well as OHKOing Galarian Weezing after Stealth Rock damage, making the Poison matchup extremely one-sided. Sludge Bomb aids in the Fairy matchup, OHKOing Iron Valiant, Enamorus, and Azumarill.

Landorus cowers in fear at the thought of a single snowflake, which is why Quagsire is a great teammate for it. Quagsire is able to stand up to terrifying Ice-type Pokemon such as Swords Dance Chien-Pao and Baxcalibur, as well as providing entry hazard support via Spikes and Stealth Rock, as well as being able to spread Toxic to soften foes up for Landorus (Quagsire is also huge versus Swords Dance Urshifu and Azumarill lacking Trailblaze). Iron Treads forms a wonderful core with Landorus as well. Iron Treads is able to switch in to foes that attack with Freeze-Dry Ice-type moves (Freeze-Dry isn't an issue in particular but Ice types in general), such as Articuno, Frosmoth, and Alolan Ninetales, and hitting back with a very powerful Heavy Slam or Iron Head. Iron Treads can also remove Stealth Rock via Rapid Spin, and remove items via Knock Off, increasing Landorus' longevity and wall-breaking capabilities (Ice Spinner is worth mentioning as a method of luring in switch-ins like Gliscor and opposing Landorus, removing them). In turn, Landorus can switch in to Ogerpon-H (Ivy Cudgel 2HKOs and as mentioned before, Sludge Bomb is not an OHKO), as well as Ground- and Fighting-type attacks that would make quick work of Iron Treads. Landorus also appreciates Pokemon such as Water Absorb Clodsire and Storm Drain Gastrodon, as they can switch in to Water-type attacks from Pokemon such as Walking Wake, Barraskewda, and Basculegion-F. Clodsire is a very good special wall, while Gastrodon takes neutral damage from Ice Beams (They both notably wall Choice Scarf Greninja + offer an abundance of entry hazards). Both Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B compliment Landorus nicely, as they are able to switch in to Ghost-type attacks from Pokemon that Landorus would otherwise struggle against, such as Flutter Mane and Air Balloon Gholdengo. In turn, Landorus can switch in to the Fighting-type attacks that would trouble Ursaluna and Ursaluna-B, and threatening the foe with Psychic (Ursaluna-B picks off Chien-Pao and other weakened Dark-types via Vacuum Wave). Gliscor is another great teammate for Mamoswine Landorus (This is a Landorus analysis), as it is able to whittle down opponents via Knock Off and Toxic. Mamoswine is another great teammate for Landorus, as it is table to take down the Flying-type Pokemon that Landorus would otherwise be ineffective against (Mamoswine sponges Ice moves + Add Sandy Shocks)
