AAA wait both the sets im working on right now are lando-t (Desolate Land Landorus-Therian) [QC 1/2]

[SET]
Desolate Land (Landorus-Therian) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Desolate Land
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Earthquake
- Weather Ball
- U-turn
- Stealth Rock

[SET COMMENTS]
Due to its solid offense and access to U-turn and Stealth Rock, Landorus-T functions as a mixed attacker, as well as a solid pivot and entry hazard setter. Weather Ball in Desolate Land provides Landorus-T a way to hit physically defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Fluffy Mandibuzz. With U-turn, Landorus-T can switch out of bad matchups against the likes of Dragonite, Well-Baked Body Skarmory, and Primordial Sea Zapdos, and bring in Pokemon like Azelf, Iron hands, and Iron Boulder to check them. Thanks to Desolate Land, Landorus-T is able to successfully wall Empoleon, Barraskewda, and non-Ice Beam Swampert, as well as preventing them from pivoting. Landorus-T helps strong physical attackers such as Roaring Moon and Zamazenta, since they have some trouble breaking through physically defensive Pokemon like Corviknight and Fluffy Mandibuzz, while also helping special attackers such as Walking Wake and Latios who have difficulty breaking through specially defensive Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra and Empoleon, which also don't like the hazard chip that Landorus-T provides. However, Landorus-T struggles against Dragonite and Well-Baked Body Pokemon such as Skarmory and Chesnaught; therefore, Corviknight and Deoxys-D can be used to check Dragonite, while Zapdos and Primarina are options to beating Skarmory and Chesnaught.

Due to its solid offense and access to U-turn and Stealth Rock, Landorus-T functions as a mix mixed attacker, as well as a fast 309 isn't really that fast, so maybe just something like "solid" could work better pivot and entry hazard setter. Weather Ball in Desolate Land provides Landorus-T a way to hit physically defensive Pokemon such as Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Fluffy Mandibuzz. With U-turn, Landorus-T can switch out of bad matchups against the likes of Dragonite, Well-Baked Body Skarmory, and Primordial Sea Zapdos, and bring in Pokemon like Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Swampert to check them I would prefer a bit more offensive examples, U-turn is often used to give you the upper hand, and if you're pivoting in your walls then you're losing that momentum. Thanks to Desolate Land, Landorus-T is able to successfully wall Empoleon and Barraskewda, as well as preventing them from pivoting Non-Ice move Swampert is also important to mention. Landorus-T heavily benefits Think benefits here is kind of wrong, since its the teammates that benefit from Lando pressuring their checks, so clarify that instead strong physical attackers such as Roaring Moon and Zamazenta, since they have some trouble breaking through physically defensive Pokemon like Corviknight and Fluffy Mandibuzz, while also benefiting special attackers such as Walking Wake and Latios, (AC) who have difficulty breaking through specially defensive Pokemon like Hisuian Goodra and Empoleon All of your examples also appreciate the hazard chip that Lando provides, I'd give that a small mention. However, Landorus-T struggles against Dragonite and Well-Baked Body Pokemon such as Skarmory and Chesnaught; therefore, Corviknight and Deoxys-D can be used to check Dragonite, while Zapdos and Primarina are options to beating Skarmory and Chesnaught.
