[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus is a good wallbreaker, taking advantage of Desolate Land's Water-type protection, Weather Ball's type synergy, and its Ground-type STAB moves to blast through Pokemon such as Corviknight, Iron Moth, and Gholdengo. Earth Power is used for its consistency, while Sandsear Storm provides higher power, allowing it to have a chance to OHKO Jirachi and Pixilate Scream Tail after a Nasty Plot; additionally, Sandsear Storm has the ability to burn foes, which can help if it doesn't take the KO. Grass Knot helps Landorus take on bulky Ground-types such as Swampert and Great Tusk, while Stealth Rock lets Landorus support its teammates, weaken its own checks like Primarina and non-Heavy-Duty Boots Dragonite, and threaten common entry hazard removal options such as Corviknight and the aforementioned Great Tusk. Using Leftovers lets Landorus stay on the field longer, while Life Orb lets it OHKO Swampert and 2HKO Primarina with a +2 Grass Knot. Pokemon like Iron Moth, Azelf, and Deoxys-S appreciate Landorus for being able to take on checks like Swampert, Empoleon, and Iron Treads. Landorus struggles to deal with Pokemon that aren't weak to its moves like Manaphy, Blissey, and RegenVest Roaring Moon, so having teammates like Latios, Great Tusk, and Iron Hands will help with taking them down. Similarly, Landorus enjoys having teammates that can remove items with Knock Off such as Roaring Moon, Manaphy, and Azelf, helping it to break down RegenVest Pokemon like Meloetta and Manaphy as well as Pokemon with Heavy-Duty Boots like Dragonite and Mandibuzz. Landorus struggles to switch in on many Pokemon due to its frailty, so it appreciates slow pivots such as Corviknight and Primarina, which also help it by checking offensive Pokemon like Roaring Moon, Iron Boulder, and Walking Wake.

Landorus is a good wallbreaker, abusing Desolate Land's Water-type protection and Weather Ball's type synergy with its Ground STABs to blast through Pokemon such as Corviknight, Iron Moth, and Gholdengo. Mention Nasty Plot and some 2HKOs and OHKOs that Landorus can now achieve. Earth Power is used for its consistency while Sandsear Storm higher power and ability to burn foes which can help if it doesn't take the KO. Grass Knot helps Landorus take out Swampert and Earth Eater Garganacl more easily, while Stealth Rock lets Landorus support its teammates as well as weaken its own checks like Primarina and non-Heavy-Duty Boots Dragonite. I think Desolate Land deserves a mention as it allows Landorus to wall mons like Barraskewda and Empoleon. You could also mention how Leftovers gives Landorus more longevity while Life Orb allows it to achieve a certain 2HKO or OHKO, but this isn't too necessary. Pokemon like Iron Moth, Azelf, and Deoxys-S appreciate Landorus for being able to take on checks like non-Ice Beam Swampert, Gholdengo, and Kingambit. Landorus struggles to deal with Pokemon who aren't weak to it's moves like Manaphy, Blissey, and RegenVest Roaring Moon, so having teammates like Latios, Great Tusk, and Walking Wake.

1/2 good work

feedback for Gambit_Gamin
Good job catching most of the “remember to mention this” things but you did miss mentioning Sandsear Storm. The Desolate Land mention is mostly redundant as it is talked about in the first sentence; if you wanted to elaborate more on that it’d be better there. Ice Beam Swampert is pretty niche; as a general rule of thumb, it’s not worth mentioning if it’s not on the dex set. Remember that Pokemon with a middling Speed stat and that are relatively frail struggle with being revenge killed, and that special wallbreakers tend to appreciate Knock Off users to help them wallbreak (obviously think about if they actually do but have it in the back of your mind). If you have any questions lmk

Landorus is a good wallbreaker, taking advantage of Desolate Land's Water-type protection and Weather Ball's type synergy with its Ground STAB moves to blast through Pokemon such as Corviknight, Iron Moth, and Gholdengo. Earth Power is used for its consistency while Sandsear Storm provides higher power, allowing it to guarantee a OHKO on Hisuian Goodra Where are you getting this? Despite the fact that you forgot to mention that it's after a Nasty Plot this still doesn't OHKO, max roll is 92% as well as a chance to OHKO Jirachi and Scream Tail, as well it has the ability to burn foes which can help if it doesn't take the KO. Grass Knot helps Landorus take out Swampert and Earth Eater Garganacl Not really a relevant mon Great Tusk Guaranteed kill as opposed to a roll otherwise more easily, while Stealth Rock lets Landorus support its teammates as well as weaken its own checks like Primarina and non-Heavy-Duty Boots Dragonite Also mention its ability to pressure Hazard Removal users like Tusk and Corviknight. Using Leftovers let's lets Landorus stay on the field longer while Life Orb lets it OHKO Swampert and 2HKO Primarina Again ??? Neither of these claims are correct, and you didn't even mention with what moves. Pokemon like Iron Moth, Azelf, and Deoxys-S appreciate Landorus for being able to take on checks like Swampert, Gholdengo, and Kingambit Questionable examples, Lando's too frail to switch into either and it has to be scared of potential EE / WBB. Landorus struggles to deal with Pokemon who aren't weak to it's moves like Manaphy, Blissey, and RegenVest Roaring Moon, so having teammates like Latios, Great Tusk, and Walking Wake Does what ???. Similarly, Landorus enjoys having teammates who can Knock Off foes items such as Roaring Moon, Manaphy, and Azelf, helping it to break down RegenVest Pokemon like Meloetta and Manaphy as well as Pokemon with Heavy-Duty Boots like Dragonite and Mandibuzz. Landorus struggles to switch-in on many Pokemon due to its frailty so it appreciates slow pivots such as Corviknight, Deoxys-D, and Primarina who also help it by checking offensive Pokemon like Roaring Moon, Iron Boulder, Deoxys-D can not take on Iron Boulder, either swap examples or remove the "respectively"and Walking Wake respectively.

Landorus struggles to deal with Pokemon who aren't weak to it's its moves like Manaphy, Blissey, and RegenVest Roaring Moon, so having teammates like Latios, Great Tusk, and Walking Wake Wake also struggles versus most of these so maybe not the most applicable example will help with taking them down. Similarly, Landorus enjoys having teammates who can Knock Off foes items such as Roaring Moon, Manaphy, and Azelf, helping it to break down RegenVest Pokemon like Meloetta and Manaphy as well as Pokemon with Heavy-Duty Boots like Dragonite and Mandibuzz. Landorus struggles to switch-in on many Pokemon due to its frailty so it appreciates slow pivots such as Corviknight, Deoxys-D Deoxys doesn't check any of these and is honestly kinda bad rn, just keep these examples at 2, and Primarina who also help it by checking offensive Pokemon like Roaring Moon, Iron Boulder, and Walking Wake.
