[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T is an effective suicide lead, being able to inflict damage to incoming Pokemon with Stealth Rock, making it most suitable for hyper offensive teams. It can run Taunt to shut down any entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn, Ting-Lu, and opposing Landorus-T or deny Defog from the likes of Zapdos and Gliscor. Explosion lets Landorus-T deal massive damage once its job is done, being able to take a good chunk of damage out of almost any foe while also denying hazard removal from the aforementioned Defoggers and Rapid Spin from Great Tusk. Tera Ghost prevents any hazards on the field from being removed by Rapid Spin users like Great Tusk if it's unable to safely use Explosion on it. Ogerpon-W is great offensive partner, as it’s able to come in on Surging Strikes from Urshifu-R which threatens Landorus-T. Volcarona is another solid teammate that’s able to switch into Weavile’s Triple Axel and has a chance to burn it in the process.

Landorus-Therian is an effective suicide lead being able to inflict damage to incoming pokemon with Stealth Rock while also providing as a Ground/Electric type resistance idt u need to mention this since it isnt really good for these roles as it is typically going to die very early, making it most suitable for hyper offensive teams. It can run Taunt to shut down any hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Ting-Lu add opposing landoT here asw or setup sweepers like Volcarona and Raging Bolt deny Defog from the likes of Zapdos and Gliscor trying to set up one of these on a mon that is known to boom for the former and a ground type for the latter seems ill-advised. Earthquake acts as its primary STAB move that is able to consistently do great damage with its excellent attack stat, threatening even bulkier Pokemon like Scizor-Mega and Zamazenta. Explosiveon lets Landorus-T deal massive damage with the cost of its health, this ensures that hazards stay on field while also taking down its foes once its job is done, being able to take a good chunk of damage out of almost anything while also denying hazard removal from the aforementioned Defoggers and Rapid Spin from Great Tusk felt like this added some more detail; feel free to rephrase where you see fit. Tera Ghost helps ensure any hazards on the field from being removed by Rapid Spin users like Great Tusk if it's unable to safely use Explosion on it. Wallbreakers like Urshifu-RS, Darkrai, and Iron Valiant appreciate Landorus-Therian’s Stealth Rock as it inflicts chip damage on foes to ensure KOs after setup. everything benefits from hazards, if you cant find any relevant calcs this changes vs their checks i wouldnt include it Ogerpon-Wellspring is great offensive partner for Landorus-T as it is able to threaten common Water-types like Rotom-W and Samurott-H, alongside Gliscor which Landorus-T struggles against. Another great offensive partner is Booster Energy Iron Boulder as it is able to threaten Pokemon that Landorus-T is not able to such as Zapdos, as well as any other boosted or setup Pokemon like Iron Valiant or Volcarona. LandoT doesnt struggle with Rotom and especially Gliscor with its lead set, its job is to rock up and die. Setup sweepers like ival and volc are also pretty irrelevant since they cant safely setup in front of you out of fear of boom. Ogerpon-W is a fine example, but the better reason is how it absorbs Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes which often can thwart lead LandoT. You could also list a teammate who can take Weavile's Triple Axel, maybe Volc?
