[SET COMMENTS]
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.

Red Orb Landorus is an excellent wallbreaker and setup sweeper thanks to its amazing offensive STAB combination, fantastic Special Attack, and great coverage and utility, which makes it hard to switch into, being able to threaten out Pokemon like Great Tusk, defensive Eternatus, and Garganacl. U-turn lets Landorus pivot out of Pokemon that can wall it like Blue Orb Lugia, while Nasty Plot can turn Landorus into a late-game letting it break through Latiosite Garganacl when not running Gravity. Gravity helps against Ground-immune Pokemon like Latiasite Clodsire and Toxapex. Rock Slide helps hit Flying-types like Ho-Oh and Moltres. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy-types like Pixilate Dragonite and Arceus-Fairy. Stealth Rock can help take advantage of the forced switches that Landorus causes against Pokemon like Corviknight to hinder its checks. Taunt helps stop status users like Giratina and Milotic. Landorus prefers running Timid nature to bolster its Speed, alternatively it can run Naive nature when using Rock Slide making it more frail specially. Landorus can be very limited by moveslot options, being walled by Latiasite users like Toxapex and specially defensive Garganacl when not running Gravity, and walled by Ho-Oh when not running Rock Slide. Landorus can be walled by Pokemon like Blissey, Lunala, and Blue Orb Lugia, which can make it appreciate offensive teammates like Gouging Fire, Darkrai, and Chien-Pao. Landorus can be overwhelmed by faster Pokemon like Calm Mind Arceus-Ground, Sandy Shocks, and Iron Boulder, making it appreciate defensive teammates like Blissey, Latiasite Galarian Slowking, and Lunala.

Gravity helps against Ground-immune Pokemon like Latiasite Clodsire, Latiosite Garganacl, and Toxapex (move this after taunt to match set order). Rock Slide helps hit Flying-types foes resistant to its STAB moves like Ho-Oh and Moltres Pinsirite Gouging Fire. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy-types like Pixilate Altarianite Dragonite and Arceus-Fairy (wball is good vs fairyceus, its only rly dnite. also move this after gravity for set order). Stealth Rock can help take advantage of the forced switches that Landorus causes against Pokemon like Corviknight to hinder its checks (to pressure the opposing team w hazard chip). Taunt helps stop status users like Giratina and Milotic (how? ure literally immune to WoW / twave and they dont get tox. taunt helps in denying recovery or setup aiding in breaking waterceus / toxapex better). Landorus prefers running Timid nature to bolster its Speed, alternatively it can run Naive nature when using Rock Slide making it more frail specially. Landorus can be very limited by moveslot options, being walled by Latiasite users like Toxapex and specially defensive Garganacl when not running Gravity, and walled by Ho-Oh and Pinsirite Gouging Fire when not running Rock Slide.

explain common physical breakers / cleaners, preferrably faster ones like shifu synergize well with lando-i by pressuring its common switch-ins / forming pivoting cores if uturn lando or helping it get on the field if np.

Red Orb Landorus is an excellent wallbreaker, if running Nasty Plot, and setup sweeper This reads kind of unclear, I'd probably change it to just mention its wallbreaking capabilities and remove the Nasty Plot mention, it isn't really a setup sweeper regardless thanks to its amazing offensive STAB combination, fantastic Special Attack, and great coverage and utility, which makes it hard to switch into, being able to threaten out Pokemon like Great Tusk, defensive Eternatus, and Garganacl This should probably be split into 2 sentences overall, where you emphasize in the second sentence how prominent it's STAB combination is. U-turn lets Landorus pivot out of Pokemon that can wall it like Blue Orb Lugia, Latiasite Toxapex, and Arceus-Water and generate momentum, while Nasty Plot can turn Landorus into a deadly late-game a cleaner, (AC) letting it break through the previously mentioned Pokemon that otherwise wall it. Stealth Rock can help take advantage of the forced switches that Landorus causes against Pokemon like Corviknight to hinder its checks and pressure the opposing team with entry hazard chip. Rock Slide helps hit foes that are resistant to its STAB moves like Ho-Oh and Pinsirite Gouging Fire. Taunt helps in denying recovery and help aid in breaking Arceus-Water and Toxapex better. Gravity helps against Ground-immune Pokemon like Latiasite Clodsire and Toxapex Emphasize that it's not normally ran and that it's a niche option. Sludge Bomb hits Fairy-types like Altarianite Dragonite Landorus-I doesn't win any interaction versus Dragonite regardless, plus the other move options are almost always better. Landorus prefers running Timid nature to bolster its Speed, alternatively it can run Naive nature when using Rock Slide making it more frail specially You can shorten this down to just mention that you run Naive if you're running Rock Slide to circumvent a damage decrease. Landorus can be very limited by moveslot options, being walled by Latiasite users like Toxapex and specially defensive Garganacl when not running Gravity, and walled by Ho-Oh and Pinsirite Gouging Fire when not running Rock Slide This isn't really saying anything, its better to just mention that it may struggle versus Latiasite users / Flying types that resist Fire and what teammates can help with that. Landorus can be walled by Pokemon like Blissey, Lunala, and Blue Orb Lugia, which can make it appreciate offensive teammates like Gouging Fire, Hisuian Samurott, and Chien-Pao Actually, combine this with the previous sentence since they talk about similar enough things, makes it easier to read and isn't as lenghty. Landorus can be overwhelmed by faster Pokemon like Calm Mind Arceus-Ground Both sets of Arceus-ground screw you over since they tend to run more Speed to outspeed you anyway, Walking Wake, and Iron Boulder, making it appreciate defensive teammates like Blissey, Latiasite Galarian Slowking, and Lunala. Landorus can also pair well with common physical wallbreakers like Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos, which can threaten its common switch-ins like Pinsirite Gouging Fire and Blissey; additionally they can forming pivoting cores with Landorus if it's (AA) running U-turn, (AC) or help it get on the field if it's (AA) Nasty Plot.

Landorus can run a Naive nature to circumvent a damage decrease when running Rock Slide. (I saw Slither Wing's above comment about removing the Timid reference, but the way this sentence is worded makes it sounds like it contrasts with something missing. Might recommend a lead-in phrase) Landorus can have a hard time against Latiasite users like Toxapex and Galarian Slowking, as well as Flying-types that resist its STABs like Ho-Oh and Pinsirite Gouging Fire. Landorus can also be walled by Pokemon like Blissey, Lunala, and Blue Orb Lugia, which can make it appreciate offensive teammates like Gouging Fire, Hisuian Samurott, and Chien-Pao. (There are several competing ideas in the prior sentence and it needs to be split up, but I can't do this without changing the meaning of the sentence. Would recommend rewriting) 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 can also pair well with common physical wallbreakers like Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos, which can threaten its common switch-ins like Pinsirite Gouging Fire and Blissey; additionally, (comma) they can form pivoting cores with Landorus if it's running U-turn (remove comma) or help it get on the field if it's running Nasty Plot.
