Pokemon #17-Landorus

Landorus is a Pokemon that was intoduced in Generation 5(Black,White).It is number 151 in the Unova Pokedex and number 645 in the National Pokedex.It is said that the energy that comes pouring from its tail increases the nutrition in the soil,making crops grow to great size.
Landorus is a great Pokemon.It is Ground and Flying,it has amazing stats,a decent movepool and two good abilities to work with.It comes with 89/90/80 on the defensive side(HP/Def/Sp.Def) and 125/115/101 on the offensive side(Att/Sp.Att/Speed).The ability that it gets through normal gameplay is Sand Force,which raises the power of Steel,Ground and Rock moves of the user in the Sandstrom by 33%.Landorus' Dream World ability is Sheer Force,which raises the power of the moves with a secondary effect but make the moves lose this effect,and also the user won't get damage from Life Orb.Its typing is great,giving it complete immunity to Spikes and Toxic Spikes and also to Earthquake which even though is not super effective can deal heavy damage.Let's see some possible sets that Landorus can use.

Choice
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
-U-Turn
-Outrage/Brick Break
Item:Choice Scarf/Choice Band
Ability:Sand Force
EVs,Nature:
252 Attack,252 Speed,4 HP
Adamant(+Att,-Sp.Att)/Jolly(+Spe,-Sp.Att)

The most used and effective set of Landorus.If you decide to go with the Choice Scarf,run Adamant nature with max Attack or if you decide to go with the Choice Band,run Jolly nature with max Speed.Also,it would be great for this set,to have in your team either a Tyranitar or a Hippowdon for the Sandstrom.With that your Stone Edge and Earthquake will hit crazy hard.Earthquake is your STAB and is always great.Stone Edge will hit anything that Earthqauke doesn't,but you'll have to switch to do so.U-Turn is a great move on a Choice set,giving you the opportunity to hit while you scout your opponent's moves.Outrage is there to hit Garchomp and Hydreigon for super effective damage.Brick Break is another option,not as powerful as Outrage,but can occasionally work.

Life Orb
-Earthquake
-Swords Dance
-Stone Edge
-Outrage/Brick Break/Explosion
Item:Life Orb
Ability:Sheer Force
EVs,Nature:
252 Attack,252 Speed,4 HP
Jolly(+Spe,-Sp.Att)

This is a really scary set.Run max Speed,to be sure that you can outspeed as many Pokemon as you can.After a Swords Dance,Landorus can hit nearly 750 Attack and with the help of Life Orb,this sure won't be pleasant for your opponent.Earthquake is your STAB and can always hit hard even without a Swords Dance boost.Stone Edge,like the previous set,hits everything that Earthquake doesn't,gains a small boost from Sheer Force,losing though that critical hit ratio.The last move is your choice.Outrage hits the Dragons.Brick Break is the only move that Landorus gets that can hit Ferrothorn for super effective damage.And Explosion is a move that I don't really recommend but you can go with it just for fun(Explosion is not as powerful as it used to be in Generation 4,that's why I don't have it as primary choice).The cool thing with this set is that you can make your opponents think that you are Choice'd(Sheer Force doesn't let you get Life Orb damage)and then when they think that you will switch,stay in and hit with another move.

Counters
Ferrothorn takes all of Landorus moves with ease and can easily set up on it or force it out.Skarmory is another great counter being immune to Earthquake and easily being able to take even boosted hits.Gliscor can easily take hits,immune the Earthquake and force Landorus out.Bulky Waters,as Vaporeon,Swampert and Suicune are great being able to easily take hits and either force it out or KO with a water or an ice type move.

Cool Info:Landorus has the highest Special Attack of all Ground-type Pokemon.
