Landorus Weakness
Ice and Water moves hit Landorus for super-effective damage. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. The upside? Electric and Ground-type moves can't touch it at all. With 89 HP and balanced defenses, Landorus can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.

Landorus Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
For the Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon meta, At 600 BST, Landorus is built different. We rank it B-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a sweeper. Earthpower with Life Orb is the standard set.
Landorus is a static encounter at Alola Ultra Space Wilds in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Landorus appears at level 60. Prerequisite: LIMITED; Tornadus & Thundurus in party. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Sheer Force on Landorus. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche. Landorus also gets Sand Force, but they don't compare. With base 101 Speed, Sheer Force gives Landorus an edge before opponents can react.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Landorus fills the sweeper role. It's a mixed attacker with base 125 Attack and 115 Sp. Atk. Base 101 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
