[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T's unique set of attributes allow it to aid greatly in the Poison, Steel, and Flying matchups, making it a valuable member of Ground teams. Substitute allows Landorus-T to set up on passive Pokemon such as Corviknight, Amoonguss, and Clodsire. Bulk Up makes it nearly impossible for all physical attackers to break Landorus-T's Substitute. Gravity, in tandem with Earthquake, allows Landorus-T to threaten Ground-immune Pokemon such as Corviknight and Skarmory. The given EV spread allows Landorus-T to survive a -1 Ice Shard from Chien-Pao, guarantee that Amoonguss's Giga Drain will not break its Substitute, and outspeed maximum Speed Jolly Tyranitar.

Landorus-T's Flying typing makes it immune to Ground, which helps cover for Ground-weak teammates such as Excadrill and Iron Treads. Landorus-T's Gravity also greatly benefits Excadrill, allowing it to freely spam Earthquake in sand. Excadrill and Iron Treads can deal with the Ice-type Pokemon that make quick work of Landorus-T, such as Kyurem and Chien-Pao, while Excadrill is in sand. Ursaluna-B is a great special attacker that can deal with physically bulky Unaware walls such as Skeledirge, Dondozo, and Quagsire. In return, while behind a Substitute, Landorus-T is easily capable of breaking through Pokemon that Ursaluna-B struggles to beat, such as Corviknight and Articuno. Choice Scarf Great Tusk is able to outspeed and KO Pokemon that impede Landorus-T's ability to set up, such as Dragapult, Latios, and Choice Scarf Gholdengo. Quagsire is a great teammate for Landorus-T, as it can beat Urshifu-R, whose Surging Strikes will always ignore the Defense boost from Bulk Up. Additionally, Water-immune teammates such as Clodsire and Gastrodon are also appreciated on Ground-type teams, and they provide utility in the form of a myriad of entry hazards, which further assist Landorus-T's ability to break through teams.

Gravity allows Landorus-T to threaten Ground-immune Pokemon such as Galarian Weezing, Corviknight, Gliscor, and Air Balloon Gholdengo.
Add Earthquake paired with Gravity at the start of the sentence, it just seems like the way your describing gravity is a damage move.

In turn, Landorus-T is easily capable of breaking through Pokemon that Ursaluna-B struggles to beat, such as Corviknight and Alolan Muk.
Maybe drop the a muk example? the bear doesnt really struggle with a muk.

Clodsire and Gasotrodon can also support Landorus-T by setting up a myriad of entry hazards.
mispelled Gastrodon
Other than that it looks good to me!
QC 1/2 Great Writing

Landorus-T's unique set of attributes allow it to aid greatly in the Poison, Steel, and Flying matchups, making it a valuable member of Ground teams. Subsitute allows Landorus-T to setup on passive Pokemon such as Corviknight, Amoonguss, and Clodsire. Bulk Up makes it nearly impossible for any and all physical attackers to break Landorus-T's Substitute when fully boosted. Gravity, in tandem with Earthquake, allows Landorus-T to threaten Ground-immune Pokemon such as Galarian Weezing, Corviknight, Gliscor, and Air Balloon Gholdengo (this is kind of nitpicky of me, but i think you can just reword this to say gravity allows landorus to ignore anything that is immune to eq cuz mentioning specific mons seems kinda moot, as the point of gravity is so that you are able to hit anything you want). The given EV Spread allows Landorus-T to survive a -1 Ice Shard from Chien-Pao, guarantee that Amoonguss's Giga Drain will not break Substitute, and outspeed 252 Speed (i would just say adamant tyranitar if youre saying 252 neutral speed, if you mean 252+ speed, then say max speed jolly or wtv) Tyranitar.

Landorus-T's Flying-type allows it to act as a Ground-immunity, which helps cover for Ground-weak teammates such as Excadrill and Iron Treads.

Grammar checked by:

- It's less ambiguous if you put descriptors before what they're describing.
- The "spread" in "EV spread" shouldn't be capitalized.
- Always spell out "maximum" and "minimum" in full rather than shortening them to "max"/"min".
- "immunity", like should only be used to refer to a trait rather than a Pokemon; e.g., "Landorus-T has a Ground immunity" is fine, but "Landorus-T is a Ground immunity is not" (it's also not hyphenated, and a similar thing applies to "resistance(s)/resists").
- "In return" means in exhange; "in turn" means "in succession"/"as a result".
- "Substitute" should be capitalized even when referring to the actual Substitute rather than the move.
- "Defense" should be capitalized in the Quagsire sentence because it's referring to the actual stat.

1/1 GP Team done
