Landorus is the Winner!
9.
Although both Latios and Landorus both seemed to have convincing arguments as to which deserved this spot more, the Landorus-I voters managed to sway most of the community, and now Landorus-I takes the #9 spot. While Latios proved to have a significant impact on the tier with its incredible power, Speed, and versatility, Landorus managed to become one of the most feared Pokemon in all of OU before its departure. Landorus-I was well known in OU for being one of the hardest Pokemon to switch into. The key of Landorus' success lies in its extreme versatility that let it run a myriad of sets that all had separate counters, making Landorus one of the hardest Pokemon to prepare for in OU. Its physical sets dominated BW1, as its Choice Scarf set was an incredible revenge killer and hit extremely hard in the Sand, while its sweeping sets ranged from Swords Dance to even Mixed Expert Belt. It wasn't until early BW2 when people really got into using the deadly Life Orb Sheer Force sets that pushed Landorus over the edge, ultimately ending up in Ubers. This set had very specific counters depending on what moves it ran, but most of its common counters could be handled with the help of Tyranitar or even U-turn. Rock Polish Sheer Force was one of the most terrifying sweepers in OU that most teams had trouble dealing with, and it took a massive dump on offensive teams that gave it a chance to setup. It was one of the best Pokemon this generation by far, and it required teams to prepare multiple answers for this thing. All in all, Landorus-I fits very nicely on this list, but Latios could have fit just fine in this spot as well. Landorus-I's suspect test and getting the boot to Ubers definitely helped it achieve this spot, along with its other important attributes.
