Landorus is on nearly half of all OU teams /vp/

When is enough, enough?

Smogon will never suspect, let alone ban, the orange lion because it's one of the only things holding their garbage forced meta together.

Because it glues the tier from being broken as fuck due to its typing and ability.

Only thing its lacking compared to aegislash is a special set.

Good, fuck singlesfags. I'm not gonna pretend that doubles isn't cancerous but at least it's not stall central.

He does everything fairly well and his biggest weakness is an attack type that basically no other ou mons are weak to abd hes still fairly bulky and fast

Not as much as it gets hindered by it.
Longer games naturally have more switches, which add up against Stall, and the smallest chip damage can break a stall core after 1 right prediction

Lando-T is a jack of many trades, and is pretty good in many of them.

Although, you can’t through off good players since Lando-T’s job is filling spots in teams instead of being the center of the team. So a good opponent knows when your Lando-T is defensive.

Also Lando-T might be bulky, but doesn’t have reliable recovery like Chansey or Clefable do, so it can be worn down and can’t really stall.

Its versality. It can fit offensive or defensive roles, the latter thanks to Intimidate.
You can assume that it is always carrying Earthquake, very likely Stealth Rock, then you scout (U-Turn, Knock Off, Swords Dance, Rock Polish, Smack Down, Stone Edge, Explosion, Defog)
If you know its item, it becomes easier to check.

A lot of viable sets would no longer be viable since Lando easily filled in the hole for a reasonable chunk of teams with no easy replacement for most of them and even if a team found a replacement the meta might change to much to make the team viable again anyways

Do you have any advice for this ?
I cannot guess its item from team preview, I just assume that most are scarfed.
Is there something that makes you think "This one has a Flynium Z/Sash" ?

Actually killing things is more of a luxury than a necessity for stall. Keeping rocks off makes it much harder for your opponent to make headway offensively; since stall's only goal is to 'not lose', playing without hazards up is preferable to both sides having rocks. There's a reason stall regularly runs multiple Defoggers/spinners on top of Mega Sableye.

Sash is very obvious. When you see a lando on a HO team with no other suicide lead it's 1000% sash.
Defensive is a dead give away if they have no other stealth rock user on a balance or BO team.
You can tell it's scarf if they have no other speed control/common scarfers or if Lando is the only one on their team that can learn defog.
Z is hard to tell because it's purpose is to lure you into thinking it's defensive.

Put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself what role you'd need to fill without Lando.

>bad speed control
>no Defog
Scarf

>lack of responses to common threats
>a need for U-turn
Scarf, sometimes Defensive

>no SR or subpar potential SR setters
Z-move, Sash, sometimes Defensive

>hyper offensive team that can afford to take trades
>Z-move slot is taken
Sash

>Z-move is open
>weak to fatter teams
Z-move

And so on. You'll get better at it just by playing and paying attention to their teams.

Lando-T may be ubiquitous but at least he isn't on virtually every team.
