[SET COMMENTS]
By virtue of its STAB, coverage options, and a helpful ability in Sheer Force, Landorus makes for a great wallbreaker, matching up well against Dragon, Electric, and Psychic teams, handling the likes of Raging Bolt and Kyurem. Focus Blast targets Dark- and Ice-types like Hydreigon, Piloswine, and Kyurem; and it can 2HKO switch ins like Rotom-W, Skarmory, and Ferrothorn. Alternatively, Rock Slide in tandem with a neutral nature and 4 Attack EVs can be used to target Flying-and Bug-types such as Mega Charizard Y, Zapdos, Volcarona, and breaks Gholdengo's Air Balloon. It also hits Ice-types more accurately than Focus Blast. Sludge Wave takes on Grass- and Fairy-types such as Tapu Bulu and Celebi. Stealth Rock wears down incoming foes so that Landorus and its teammates can wallbreak and sweep more efficiently, and it breaks Sturdy from Ogerpon-C, while Rock Polish allows it to serve as a cleaner as well by outspeeding and threatening Choice Scarf Weavile, Greninja, and Meowscarada. Tornadus-T makes for a great teammate, taking on problematic Grass- and Fighting-types such as Ogerpon-C, Hisuian Lilligant, and Mega Gallade. Corviknight and Mantine are great defensive partners as both remove Stealth Rock with Defog so Landorus has an easier time switching in. Corviknight also threatens Ice-types such as Weavile and Alolan Ninetales and provides slow pivotting with U-turn, while Mantine fares well against Water-types like Barraskewda and Mega Swampert. Mega Aerodactyl not only threatens Ice-types, but its coverage allows it to threaten opposing Landorus, Garchomp, and Tornadus-T, and it can also run Stealth Rock so Landorus can run Rock Polish instead. Landorus's wallbreaking opens up sweeping opportunities for Galarian Moltres and Dragonite, who appreciate the removal of their checks such as Alolan Muk and Iron Hands.

Landorus makes for a great wallbreaker on Flying teams by virtue of its STAB, coverage options, and a helpful ability in Sheer Force. Focus Blast targets Dark- and Ice-types like Hydreigon, Piloswine, and Kyurem (its also strong enough to just 2HKO swap ins like Rotom-W and Skarm/Ferro). Alternatively, Rock Slide in tandem with a neutral nature and 4 Attack EVs can be used to target Flying-types such as Mega Charizard Y, Tornadus-T, and Thundurus-T, (outsped and speedtie. both too lethal. It does deal with Volcarona, keeps Zapdos from coming in for free, and breaks Ghold's balloon tho)as well as Ice-types more accurately than Focus Blast. Sludge Wave takes on Grass- and Fairy-types such as Tapu Fini, Tapu Bulu, and Celebi. Stealth Rock wears down incoming foes so that Landorus and its teammates can wallbreak and sweep more efficiently, and it breaks Focus Sash and Sturdy from the likes of Breloom (not really used much nowadays) and Ogerpon-C, while Rock Polish allows it to serve as a setup sweeper (cleaner instead?) as well by outspeeding and threatening Choice Scarf Weavile, Greninja, and Choice Scarf Meowscarada. Tornadus-T makes for a great teammate, taking on problematic Grass- and Fighting-types such as Ogerpon-C, Hisuian Lilligant, and Mega Gallade. Corviknight and Mantine are great defensive partners as both remove Stealth Rock with Defog so Landorus has an easier time switching in. Corviknight also threatens Ice-types such as Weavile and Alolan Ninetales, while Mantine fares well against Water-types like Barraskewda and Mega Swampert. Mega Aerodactyl not only threatens Ice-types, but its coverage allows it to threaten opposing Landorus, Garchomp, and Tornadus-T Mega Altaria, and it can also run Stealth Rock so Landorus can run Rock Polish instead. Landorus forms a wallbreaking combination with Mega Charizard Y, with Landorus handling Toxapex, Alolan Muk, and Raging Bolt, while Mega Charizard Y handles Articuno and Sinistcha (Cuno can get Rock slided, maybe just mention they overload walls in general instead?). Landorus's wallbreaking opens up sweeping opportunities for Galarian Moltres and Dragonite, who appreciate the removal of their checks such as Alolan Muk and Iron HandsTapu Bulu and Kyurem (these arent their checks).

(somehow, a mention somewhere that it really excels in eviscerating Dragon, Electric, and sometimes even Psychic teams could be nice, since its rare to have a mon that kills Raging Bolt and Kyurem at the same time as well as just murder defensive cores like that)
