On Swords Dance sets, Substitute can be used to avoid status while setting up, but it can wear down Landorus-T quickly. Salac Berry can be used with Substitute to allow Landorus-T to get a Speed boost and potentially sweep, but it's very unreliable. Earth Plate or Groundium Z can be used on Swords Dance Landorus-T sets to present a greater offensive presence. Earth Plate has the benefit of being useful when a Z Crystal is needed in another teammates hand, while Groundium Z can do massive damage to non-resisted Pokemon; especially after being forced to the ground by Smack Down or Gravity. A Double Dance set featuring Swords Dance and Rock Polish alongside Continental Crush can be run, taking standard Rockium Z Landorus-T and turning it into a more dedicated sweeper with the potential to sweep offensive teams using Rock Polish. However, this set has several flaws and fails to provide the same overall utility that other sets provide. Landorus-T has a decent base Special Attack and can surprise a lot of its checks, such Tangrowth, Tapu Bulu, and opposing Landorus-T, with Sludge Wave and Hidden Power Ice, though this set is usually weak. Punishment can be used on Choice Scarf variants on teams that lack consistent counterplay versus Mega Latias and Reuniclus, however it is noticeably if the intended targets have not boosted and has little use outside of hitting these targets.
