OU Scarf Lando-T (QC 1/1) (GP 1/1)

Felixx

I'm back.
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 80 HP / 148 Atk / 84 Def / 196 Spe
Naive Nature
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Hidden Power Ice
- Defog

Bow down to the king of OU itself, Landorus-T! Landorus-T is a very versatile threat with many different sets, but the Choice Scarf set is currently the most common and splashable, and it's not hard to see why. It easily fits into a lot teams due to its ability to compress many roles in a single slot, such as speed control, an offensive pivot, a soft check to Zygarde with Hidden Power Ice, and hazard control with Defog. The EV spread allows it to survive two Leaf Blades from Kartana after Stealth Rock and outspeed Timid Mega Alakazam. Landorus-T has common checks in the metagame such as Tornadus-T and Tapu Bulu, so it's best partnered with wallbreakers that can take advantage of those like Heatran and Protean Greninja. It also works well with defensive Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Assault Vest Magearna, with the former sponging Water-type attacks and setting hazards and the latter forming a VoltTurn core and handling Psychic-types that exploit Landorus's mediocre Special Defense if it tries to switch into them.

I’d specify that Lando doesn’t like switching into these psychic types cause it can usually force out Alakazam and a weakened Lati with scarf u-turn

This looks pretty good from a qc standpoint, Im not sure if that introduction is what p^2 had in mind with “offsetting Lando hate” cause the fb audience can be whack sometimes, I’d ask her if it’s fine before moving to gp cause I didnt really have anything in mind that fit that criteria
