A Focus Sash set can be used to set up Stealth Rock for hyper offense teams and potentially leave a dent with Explosion. Defensive sets can utilize Defog, as Landorus-T has a favorable matchup against Stealth Rock setters such as Heatran and Tyranitar. However, it's rather inconsistent, especially against entry hazard setters that carry Toxic like Garchomp and opposing Landorus-T. Rocky Helmet can be used on defensive sets to punish contact moves, especially U-turn from Rillaboom, Tapu Koko, and opposing Landorus-T, at the cost of not having a way to maintain health. Soft Sand can be used on Swords Dance sets for more offensive pressure, making it even harder for Pokemon like Slowbro and Hippowdon to keep Landorus-T in check, although this leaves it without passive recovery. Protect can be used on defensive sets to gain extra Leftovers recovery, making Landorus-T harder to wear down. It can also waste Defog PPs from Corviknight, which can otherwise use Pressure to stall out Stealth Rock. Additionally, it can scout Choice-locked attackers like Choice Specs Dragapult and Kyurem, making them easier to play around; however, Landorus-T struggles to fit it over any other moves. A Double Dance set with Rock Polish and Swords Dance can make Landorus-T much harder to check. Although, finding a chance to use both setup moves is difficult, often forcing it to choose between the two. Other Swords Dance sets with moves such as Fly to hit Grass-types like Tangrowth or Gravity to hit Ground-immune targets can be used, but they're rather inconsistent. A Choice Band set can be used to take advantage of Landorus-T's high Attack and strong coverage, although it requires a lot more prediction to pull off.
