[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus is a great Pokemon in 2v2 thanks to its good speed tier, which allows it to outspeed Pokemon like Victini and Genesect. Its high damage output thanks to Sheer Force and Life Orb lets it OHKO metagame staples such as Victini, Volcanion, Diancie, and Metagross with Earth Power. Sludge Bomb OHKOes non-Assault Vest Rillaboom and Tsareena and 2HKOes Togekiss. Focus Blast OHKOes non-Assault Vest or Chople Berry Kyurem-B, Tyranitar, and non-specially defensive Ferrothorn. Psychic has a 62.5% chance to OHKO Zapdos-G, 2HKOes Amoonguss and 3HKOes Landorus-T.


Choice Scarf Tapu Fini is a great partner for Landorus as it provides speed control in Icy Wind to allow Landorus to outspeed threats like Naganadel, Cinderace, and Ninetales-A and counters Regidrago, rain teams, and stall Pokemon like Mew. Landorus is a great check to Electric-types that beat Tapu Fini like Zeraora and Regieleki. Regieleki is a good partner for Landorus as it provides speed control with Electroweb and can beat Water-types like Tapu Fini that Landorus has a hard time with. In return, Landorus checks Marowak-A and Zeraora which Regieleki can’t damage. Landorus appreciates Fake Out support from Pokemon like Incineroar, Rillaboom, and Blastoise. Indeedee-F supports Landorus by redirecting attacks from Pokemon such as Tapu Fini, Naganadel, and Genesect. Landorus helps Indeedee-F by checking Incineroar, Metagross, and Heatran.

Other Options
=============

Rock Slide can be used to OHKO Talonflame and Volcarona and to 2HKO Moltres-G and Zapdos. Smack Down lures in Celesteela as Earth Power will OHKO once Celesteela has been grounded.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Water-types**: Water-types such as Choice Scarf Tapu Fini and Kingdra are great Landorus checks as they can OHKO Landorus with Hydro Pump and Surf respectively.

**Stall Pokemon**: Landorus can lose to stall Pokemon such as Cosmic Power Mew, Calm Mind Cresselia and Leech Seed Celesteela as Landorus fails to 2HKO them once they’ve set up.

**Faster Pokemon** Landorus can struggle with strong Pokemon that outspeed it such as Naganadel, Pheromosa and Ninetales-A.

Paragraph 1:
Landorus is a great Pokemon in 2v2 thanks to it’s its good speed tier, allowing which allows it to outspeed Pokemon like Victini and Genesect (this does not matter because you are getting hit by Ice Beam anyway and can't OHKO back with Earth Power, it might be better to find another Pokemon to include here. Also, you're notably losing to Choice Scarf sets of both Pokemon.), and high damage output thanks to Sheer Force and Life Orb,(AC) letting which lets it OHKO metagame staples such as Victini, Volcanion, Diancie,(AC) (Diancie is a roll here to OHKO, not a guaranteed one) and Metagross with Earth Power. Landorus has good coverage moves such as Sludge Bomb,(AC) which allows Landorus to both OHKO most Rillaboom (maybe just mention non-Assault Vest Rillaboom instead of saying most) and Tsareena sets,(RC) Tsareena and 2HKO Togekiss. Focus Blast OHKOes most Kyurem-B sets (definitely mention certain sets here because WP sets often run enough bulk to make this a roll, AV and Chople Sets naturally tank, and Choice Scarf sets OHKO with Icy Wind before Landorus can move. You're only really reliably beating Power Herb and Haban Berry sets with Focus Blast), Tyranitar,(AC) and physically defensive Ferrothorn. (Just probably say not Specially Defensive instead of Physically Defensive. Ferrothorn can also run offensive sets with 252+ Attack and you're going to be able to OHKO there so it's fine!) Psychic has a 62.5% chance to OHKO Zapdos-G, 2HKOes Amoonguss and 3HKOes Landorus-T (This honestly seems more or less irrelevant. You should probably put this in Other Options instead of on the main set.)


Paragraph 2:
Choice Scarf Tapu Fini is a great partner for Landorus as it provides speed control in Icy Wind to allow Landorus to outspeed threats like Naganadel, Cinderace and Ninetales-A. Landorus is a great check to Electric-types that beat Tapu Fini like Zeraora and Regieleki (Regieleki can outspeed Landorus and OHKO Tapu Fini even after a Speed drop. Sadly, at -1, 252 Speed Regieleki hits 332, which outspeeds Landorus by a single speed point. You can probs remove Regieleki here for this reason). Tapu Fini beats rain, Regidrago and can use Trick to cripple stall Pokemon like Cresselia and Mew that Landorus struggles with. (The third sentence of this paragraph could probably be condensed with the first. At the very least it should be switched with the second, as it follows the same idea as the first sentence of this paragraph. Also, please rephrase that sentence to something like "Choice Scarf Tapu Fini counters Regidrago, rain, and stall Pokemon like Mew, which Landorus struggles against.) Regieleki is a good partner for Landorus as it provides speed control in with Electroweb and can beat Water-types like Tapu Fini that Landorus has a hard time with. In return, Landorus checks Marowak-A and Zeraora which Regieleki can’t damage.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Rock Slide can be used to OHKO Talonflame and Volcarona and to 2HKO Moltres-G and Zapdos. (both of these Pokemon listed in the 2HKOs here with Rock Slide can run bulk and make it not a 2HKO) Smack Down lures Celesteela as Earth Power will OHKO once Celesteela has been grounded.(AP) (mention Psychic here instead of the regular set. If you can find more reliable targets to mention for Psychic, which I currently cannot think of any, you can probably get away with putting it on the main set! Also, I do think that you might not want to mention Talonflame, as Landorus struggles with most Talonflame teams due to getting outsped after Tailwind.)

Checks and Counters
===================

**Water-types**: Water-types such as Tapu Fini and Kingdra are great Landorus checks as they can OHKO Landorus. Water-types with a way to outspeed Landorus such as Choice Scarf Tapu Fini or Swift Swim Kingdra in rain are especially annoying. Some Water-types such as Volcanion don’t check Landorus (Volcarona can very easily run Choice Scarf and beat Landorus. Volcarona can also run Air Balloon to beat Landorus. There's quite a few ways that it wins. Even Shuca Berry is a set to surprise Landorus.)

**Stall Pokemon**: Landorus can lose to stall Pokemon such as Cosmic Power Mew, Calm Mind Cresselia and Leech Seed Celesteela as Landorus fails to 2HKO them once they’ve set up.

(add faster Pokemon and Choice Scarf users to the Checks and Counters section, as Landorus very much does struggle against them.)

mention that landorus is one of the best incin checks bc that's an important part of how it plays
Landorus is a great Pokemon in 2v2 thanks to its good speed tier, which allows it to outspeed Pokemon like Victini and Genesect. Its high damage output thanks to Sheer Force and Life Orb lets it OHKO metagame staples such as Victini, Volcanion, Diancie, and Metagross with Earth Power. Sludge Bomb OHKOes non-Assault hyphen Vest Rillaboom and Tsareena and 2HKOes Togekiss. Focus Blast OHKOes non-Assault Vest or Chople Berry Kyurem-B, Tyranitar, and non-specially defensive Ferrothorn. Psychic has a 62.5% chance to OHKO Zapdos-G, 2HKOes Amoonguss and 3HKOes Landorus-T. I think Rock Slide is better than this tbh, galarian zapdos and amoonguss aren't *that* common, fine in other options tho The listed EVs maximise Landorus’ wallbreaking abilities while still outspeeding Victini and Genesect. the max / max evs don't really need to be explained idt

Choice Scarf Tapu Fini is a great partner for Landorus as it provides speed control in Icy Wind to allow Landorus to outspeed threats like Naganadel, Cinderace, and Ninetales-A separate this sentence into 2 here imo and counters Regidrago, rain teams be specific about what rain is plz, and stall Pokemon like Mew. Landorus is a great check to Electric-types that beat Tapu Fini like Zeraora and Regieleki. Regieleki is a good partner for Landorus as it provides speed control with Electroweb and can beat Water-types like Tapu Fini that Landorus has a hard time with celesteela is a big one too. In return, Landorus checks Marowak-A and Zeraora which Regieleki can’t damage also gets through incin which they both struggle with. Landorus appreciates Fake Out support from Pokemon like Incineroar, Rillaboom, and Blastoise. Indeedee-F supports Landorus by redirecting attacks from Pokemon such as Tapu Fini, Naganadel, and Genesect. Landorus helps Indeedee-F by checking Incineroar, Metagross, and Heatran.

are genesect / tailwind users worth adding as good partners? up to you, just my experience with building with landorus

may be worth adding speed control / trick room (p2 / cress are some of the best answers to lando I can think of)
