Physical Wall (Landorus-Therian) (M) @ Rocky Helmet / Leftovers
Ability: Fluffy
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Atk / 8 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
[SET COMMENTS]
Thanks to Landorus-T's wide range of utility, decent physical bulk improved by Fluffy, and incredible Attack stat, it functions as a physical wall and pivot that can set entry hazards. U-turn allows Landorus-T to pivot out on Flying-types that it forces in like Corviknight, Skarmory, and opposing Landorus-T and switch into Pokemon that can check these foes, such as Iron Moth, Zapdos, and Walking Wake. Taunt prevents the setting of entry hazards by Skarmory and Ting-Lu and the use of Roost and Defog by Corviknight and Mandibuzz. Stealth Rock allows Landorus-T to wear down a great deal of Pokemon, but it typically chips Choice-item Pokemon such as Azelf, Roaring Moon, and Walking Wake. Rocky Helmet is the preferred item, as it allows Landorus-T to chip down U-turn Pokemon like Corviknight and non-Magic Guard Roaring Moon, but Leftovers can also be used to increase its longevity. 8 Speed EVs allow Landorus-T to outpace maximum Speed Modest Primarina, while the rest are poured into HP and Attack to increase its overall bulk and offense. Knock Off users like Roaring Moon and Manaphy make great partners for Landorus-T as they are able to remove Leftovers and Heavy-Duty Boots from Pokemon like Mandibuzz, Corviknight, and Great Tusk, allowing it and its teammates to make progress faster. Landorus-T struggles against physical attackers like Chien-Pao and Barraskewda, so physical walls like Corviknight and Manaphy make good partners. Stealth Rock quickly wears down Landorus-T, especially Rocky Helmet variants, so hazard removal options like Corviknight and Great Tusk are mandatory.
