Choice Scarf Landorus-T is one of the best revenge killers Flying teams have access to, outrunning threats like Tapu Koko, Mega Diancie, and Terrakion while boasting great firepower. It's also very desireable thanks to its defensive traits, which include an immunity to Electric-type attacks and Intimidate. U-turn takes advantage of the switches Landorus-T forces, allowing it to pivot out of walls that come in on it such as Corviknight and Mega Venusaur. Similarly, Knock Off cripples some of the bulky Pokemon it invites in, like Porygon2 and Ferrothorn, by removing their items. Stone Edge notably hits Kyurem the hardest and is Landorus-T's best move versus Flying-types like Zapdos and Pelipper. Alternatively, Explosion lets Landorus-T score a surprise KO against an offensive threat it normally cannot OHKO, such as Keldeo or Mega Lopunny. Special wallbreakers like Galarian Moltres, Tornadus-T, and Mega Charizard Y are great partners to deal with the aforementioned physical walls Landorus-T draws in. Thundurus-T relieves pressure from Landorus-T by acting as a secondary Electric immunity and is a great asset against the Water and Flying teams Landorus-T can't do much to. Mega Aerodactyl is able to form a powerful revenge killing core alongside Landorus-T while providing Stealth Rock support for it to clean teams more easily. Corviknight switches into most Ice-type attacks aimed at Landorus-T, removes Stealth Rock with Defog, and is able to bring Landorus-T safely onto the field via its slow U-turn.

Choice Scarf Landorus-T is one of the best revenge killers Flying teams have access to, boasting great firepower and a Speed tier that outruns threats like Tapu Koko, Mega DiancieSpectrier, and Greninja (sort of funny that you dont have a move that cleanly OHKOes gren bar explosion. Also its speedtier isnt really decent, being outrun by nearly all relevant scarfers [which can be covered in the Corv description down there, I guess]). It's also very splashable thanks to its defensive traits, which include a coveted immunity to Electric-type attacks and Intimidate. U-turn takes advantage of the many switches Landorus-T forces, allowing it to pivot out of walls that come in on it such as Corviknight and Mega Venusaur. Similarly, Knock Off cripples some of the bulky Pokemon it invites, like Porygon2 and Ferrothorn, by removing their items. It also hits most Psychic- and Ghost-types, like Latias (this is probably scarfed and will nuke lando, maybe a diff example would be better?) and Spectrier, the hardest. Stone Edge is Landorus-T's best move versus Flying-types like Zapdos and Pelipper (Picks off Kyurem/non Shard Bax too if ever). Alternatively, Explosion lets Landorus-T score a surprise kill against offensive threats it normally cannot OHKO, such as Keldeo and Mega Lopunny. Special wallbreakers like Galarian Moltres, Tornadus-T, Mega Charizard Y, and Thundurus-T are great partners to deal with the physical walls Landorus-T draws in, such as Ting-Lu and Slowbro. In particular, Thundurus-T relieves pressure off of Landorus-T by acting as a secondary Electric immunity (pressures water super hard too, something lando no likey). Mega Aerodactyl is able to form a powerful revenge killing core alongside Landorus-T while providing Stealth Rock support for it to clean teams more easily. Corviknight switches into most Ice-type attacks aimed at Landorus-T, blows away Stealth Rock (with Defog?), and is able to bring it safely into the field via its slow U-turn.

Choice Scarf Landorus-T is one of the best revenge killers Flying teams have access to, outrunning threats like Tapu Koko, Mega Diancie, and Greninja Terrakion while boasting great firepower. (I don't think Gren is the best example since Choiced sets including Scarf are more common due to the Protean nerf which easily beats Lando, nor does Lando OHKO it with anything but Explosion, Terrak is at least something Lando answers consistently) It's also very splashable thanks to its defensive traits, which include a coveted immunity to Electric-type attacks and Intimidate. U-turn takes advantage of the switches Landorus-T forces, allowing it to pivot out of walls that come in on it such as Corviknight and Mega Venusaur.

Thundurus-T relieves pressure off of Landorus-T by acting as a secondary Electric immunity, and is a great asset against Water teams it can't do much against. (add opposing Flying too since it doesn't do much to the Steels) Mega Aerodactyl is able to form a powerful revenge killing core alongside Landorus-T while providing Stealth Rock support for it to clean teams more easily. Corviknight switches into most Ice-type attacks aimed at Landorus-T, blows away Stealth Rock with Defog, and is able to bring it safely into the field via its slow U-turn.

Grammar checked by:

- Pokemon aren't killed, so kill should be changed to KO. The only exception to this rule is 'revenge kill'
- Your change 'relieves pressure off of' -> 'relieves pressure from' is fine even if a bit subjectuve, but you forgot to remove the word 'of' so it now reads 'relives pressure from of' so be careful with markups
- 'Electric immunity' is fine phrasing
- Your change to add ' against' at the end of the Water and Flying teams line was good, but the sentence now reads 'great asset agaisnt the Water and Flying teams that Landorus-T can't do much against' so I would have changed it to 'can't do much to' to avoid the repetition
