Red Orb Landorus is an excellent wallbreaker thanks to its amazing offensive STAB combination, fantastic Special Attack, and great coverage and utility, which makes it hard to switch into and lets it threaten Pokemon like Great Tusk, defensive Eternatus, and Garganacl. U-turn lets Landorus pivot out walls like Blue Orb Lugia, Latiasite Toxapex, and Arceus-Water and generate momentum, while Nasty Plot turns Landorus into a deadly late-game cleaner and voids the aforementioned walls. Stealth Rock can force chip damage on checks and take advantage of the switches Landorus forces against Pokemon like Corviknight. Rock Slide helps hit foes that are resistant to its STAB moves like Ho-Oh and Pinsirite Gouging Fire; a Naive nature should be used if using this. Taunt h denies recovery, helping beat Arceus-Water and Toxapex better. Gravity is a niche option that helps against Ground-immune Pokemon like Latiasite Clodsire and Toxapex. Landorus struggles against Levitate users like Toxapex and Garganacl, Fire-resistant Flying-types like Ho-Oh and Pinsirite Gouging Fire if not running Rock Slide, and natural walls like Blissey, Lunala, and Blue Orb Lugia. As such, Solgaleo, Iron Boulder, and Chien-Pao, respectively, are good teammates. Landorus can be overwhelmed by faster Pokemon like Arceus-Ground, Walking Wake, and Iron Boulder, making it appreciate defensive teammates like Blissey, Latiasite Galarian Slowking, and Lunala. Landorus pairs well with physical wallbreakers like Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos, which can threaten its common switch-ins like Pinsirite Gouging Fire and Blissey; additionally they can also additionally support Landorus with U-turn.
