pokemon have weaknesses, but weak scalds won't KO Landorus
>only take a few hits
But if you're at +2 speed against offense, the only thing they really have to hit you is Bisharps Sucker Punch or Azumarills Aqua Jet and even then, the former doesn't OHKO and the latter needs a band
>Isn't as fast as it once was, nor at all when considering mischievous counterparts.
101 Speed is still a dickish speed tier and is decently fast, and its main set is Rock Polish now anyway
>Therian form, while visually pleasing, is lackluster unless it's pivoting.
ok
>Movepool, while decent, is relatively shallow.
Doesn't matter when it gives you the coverage you need. Earth Power / Focus Blast / Psychic / Rock Slide / Knock Off / Polish are the main 6 moves Landorus-I runs
>The only set to see from a mile away is Sheer Force+4-3 attacks (Calm Mind appears).
Rock Polish, SR lead, CM wallbreaker. It's definitely not got only 1 set
>Everything else it does is lackluster in comparison to his brethren.
you're just completely wrong here

I use sand force on my sandscreens team.

very underrated. I can always beat Lando-I one on one regardless of switching into an intimidate. Its much better to come in after the intimidate though.

Why wouldn't you just use Sheer Force? Same power increase, except it also applies to Psychic and Focus Blast, and isn't dependant on Sand.

I ment Lando T. Long day you know.

It has the bulk and higher speed tier to check it. It actually easier to switch into if its locked into a scarf move. Easy to set up a bulk up on it like I mentioned.

The genies in general are all over the top anyways. However I sort of like the design even if it is lazy for the incarnate forms.

Not impressed with this attempt OP.

Even then, it's too passive for stall. It provides no pressure, offensive or defensive.

Oh yeah, because when I think Earthquakes boosted by sand, or Rocks boosted by pure force, I often think of Thundur-hurp-durp for the role. I DEFINITELY think of Tornadus doing both of their jobs so much better, not just spamming those Hurricanes all day, right?

We're not delving into the Therian forms. Those felt wasteful.

Gliscor is also a top OU pokemon

Like literally all OU pokemon

>Isn't as fast as it once was, nor at all when considering mischievous counterparts.

Rock Polish. Still outspeeds most of OU.

>Therian form, while visually pleasing, is lackluster unless it's pivoting.

It's on 40% of OU teams. Lackluster my ass. git gud.

>Movepool, while decent, is relatively shallow.

Decent or Shallow? Pick 1.

>The only set to see from a mile away is Sheer Force+4-3 attacks (Calm Mind appears).

Which 3 or 4 attacks is it running? 2/3 of the time you will guess the coverage wrong and lose a pokemon and 50% of another.

>Everything else it does is lackluster in comparison to his brethren.

First off, no. Second, even if you want to entertain that bullshit notion, you can have more than 1 genie on the team at the same time.

Thundurus is more OP, especially in doubles. Want to fire off an ice beam? It rapes your (viable) water type with thunderbolt. Want to beat it with simple speed? Prankster thunderwave. Try to stall? It spams taunt.

By contrast I've honestly never had much of a problem dealing with landorus. Maybe my team is just better equipped to deal with landorus, but I'd say thundurcancer is more threatening in general.

Landorus is just brute force more than anything; thundurus fills a number of roles and excels in most of them due to prankster, good speed and special attack and a typing that makes up for its unexceptional but decent enough defences (rockslide gets nerfed as its a spread move so survival is a possibility and its prone to missing; and ice beam/punch is rarely STAB boosted unless it's coming from weavile or protean greninja who'll likely die the next turn, if of course the prankster t-wave doesn't shut them down for a turn).

Eh...it's actually sad compared to his counterparts.

The only thing going for him is STABIcane. The only OTHER thing is Regenerator Therian form. It can't go mixed easily, as it has no real benefit from Defiant aside from canceling Superpower's Atk drop.
