Overlooked question : What would Landorus look like without it’s “moustache”?
Quagsire: Now I wanna see Landorus without his moustache, imma think it
*Guitar Strum* No Moustache
normal, cuz he is a lion ( i think) so, its a big mouth like trapinch
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO
@@j.9xxn Landorus is literally a tiger, it has tiger stripes, it doesn’t even have a lion mane XD
Question: What is that thing behind its head?
With just 8 attack EVs and a nature that doesn't boost attack, Lando T has the same attack stat as a max invested positive attack nature base 100 attack pokemon
Would'nt it be just 4 EVs? Since the first 4 EVs in a stat increase it by 1 point, and after that you need 8 EVs invested to increase another point?
@@robertofagner thats in vgc at level 50 at level 100 every 4 evs give extra stat point
vgc player spotted
@@ytbtech114 oh, did'nt know that, thx
Vgc = virgin goober children
Weird how they turned Landorus therian into a big elephant in gen 9.
yeah apparantly in the past it used to be a fighting type? still a weird design choice for gamefreak
lol
Landorus is INEVITABLE
Offensively:
Stats of a wallbreaker
Ground as it's STAB move
Access to U-turn
Great speed for scarf
Great boosting moves(SD, R.Polish, etc...)
Versatile
Defensively:
Good stats
Ground/Flying is an amazing physically defensive type combo
Intimidate complements it's typing
Great support movepool
Access to U-turn
Immunity to 2 of the best offensive typing
Versatile
if only it wasn't 4x weak to ice, which someone is sure to have
What if it had water ground typing instead? Also replace it's flying moves with equivalent water moves.
@@mesplin3 would be worse because of hazards and sticky web IMO
@@mesplin3 then that makes it 4x weak to grass, literally one of the weakest types
embarassing!
@@littenflame85 Right. Generally running ice coverage is a smart idea. But if your opponent now needs to dedicate two coverage moves, ice (for general utility) and grass (specifically for landorus), then I view that as an improvement.
Lando is a lot like Gen1 Snorlax. It's insane, but it needs to be to neutralize all other rampant heavy hitters. It's everywhere, but it's not entirely overbearing.
As opposed to gen 2 Lax, which is absolutely overbearing
@@OswaldAurelia gen 2 lax was insane.
@@OswaldAurelia But does actually follow the same ideology. It's batshit bonkers nutty, but if it wasn't in OU, the metagame gets staler than bread ten years past the expiration date. It's incredibly overbearing, yet the alternative is even more boring on the whole.
@@Jfrost9101 oh im not against gen 2 lax at all
I saw someone compare it to the Queen in chess, and I agree with that entirely.
A pokemon that runs a low BP move on the opposite attack spectrum specifically for the mirror matchup speaks volumes about how iconic it has became.
Landorus is still a great Pokemon in Scarlet and Violet, but it has clearly suffered a lot with the removal of moves such as Knock Off, Defog and Toxic.
The only Pokémon that can't be shamoned
Lando was the mystical First Shamoner
Lando is Un-Shamonable
4:46 "Mega metagross"
Shows a picture of mega gyarados
Nice notice, yeah, that was my mistake
Once Lando-T meets Great Tusk:
"Finally. A worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary!"
I expect to see a lot more Ice Spinner Tusks once Lando is back in the game, though if they're not running Booster Energy/Life Orb, Max HP/Max Def Lando has good potential to survive the 2HKO after Intimidate.
@@Celon549 that fat genie!
@@Celon549 does tusk even have ice spinner? I thought only treads had it. also, I love the fact that tusks has enough speed to compete with lando, having rapid spin and 300 max speed is enough to be a fast mf
@@bigmonke3348 I use an Assault Vest Great Tusk in my team and I can confirm it has Ice Spinner. I've it specifically for other Great Tusks and other Ice type weak Pokémon and Lando-T will eventually be a prey to it too.
@@Celon549 to help confirm this, ice spinner is on the standard Tusk set, and some tusks even use icium Z to help vs torn/lando/glisc/tang/hippo/zapdos !
Surprised you didn't bring up the Electric immunity. Volt-Switch denial and just the capacity to absorb T-bolt are at least as valuable as an EQ immunity, particularly on a Flying-type Pokemon. And that immunity can't be circumvented with things like Gravity or Smack Down.
Love the content, love the new discussions and also very much love your writing! Especially your line at 09:08 - "The carnage it leaves in it's wake so effortlessly is just [as] significant as a form of team support as its utility sets hit taking ability." Both beautifully put, and super succinct. The whole segment really drove home the point that Lando is S-Tier on all axis of competitive pokemon.
In general I appreciate the fast pace of the video, but for some personal feedback: I would have appreciated a short pause, like one beat, between the different directions of lando. just to emphasize the structure of the video - which I think is really well built.
I also really like the visuals, especially the slowly growing image of Landos inherent defensive capabilities. Perfect for illustrating how the mon doesn't need big defensive stats to do defensive work! Looking forward where this style of content continues to go - you for sure got the talent and dedication for it.
Landorus, the only pokemon that can fit every single role that you want in a team
lando is honestly the most spammable mon in history(across all gens)
It looks like Inceneroar is going to take that award within the time, at least in doubles
@@uribevaldezargenis8862 not really, he is only usable in Doubles while Lando is good on both
@@09f9 no dawg, I mean its spammable in every gen. Gen 2 lax is the most spammable mon in one gen but lando has been spammable in 4 gens so far.
yeah cos every other mon that spammable is alr banned
@@09f9 he said across every gen
Sometimes you need a buffer. A solid pick that does what you need it to do. It takes a lot of energy out of teambuilding. As someone who builds a lot of off-the-wall kind of teams (I literally use eviolite surksit), there are so many moving parts due to how many Pokemon there are. You need a Lando-T or a great tusk to round it out and to save your sanity.
Complaining about Lando-T is the litmus test for bad players being bad. Saying Scald has had nothing but a horrible effect on every tier of every generation ever since it cursed us in 5 is the mark of a good player
Bro is spittin
Lando is flirting, Scald is sexual harassment
im crying bruh lmaooo@@Metaknighttheloneswordsman
@@Metaknighttheloneswordsman fax
Scald didn't do shit damage from tanky water types so it was a good move, kinda if fire types used lava plume all the type. It was a good move cause of double usage. Didn't need to run both will o wisp and a stab move
1:35 Chansey omg 💕
We're definitely going to be seeing tera flying lando aren't we
Tera Fighting or Steel seems more likely to resist the 4x ice weakness and threaten Baxcalibur which otherwise shits on it
@@crispyfries2454yes i love it when i resist ice with fighting
@@crispyfries2454 how does Bax shit on it? Ice shard doesn't kill defensive lando and bax can't switch into earthquake from offensive Lando.
It's a 2 hit KO
252 Atk Landorus-Therian Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Baxcalibur: 190-225 (51.2 - 60.6%)
More importantly if you SD with offensive Lando any tera fly you OHKO bax and only take 55 from ice shard.
Your not sending Lando into bax to them tera steel and bax has no defensive utility for lando.
Either way bax won't be a big threat when all the guys come back (unless there are some special circumstances) so it doesn't matter. Tera steel makes a bit of sense I guess but Lando's typing is so stupidly good it will purely be a reactive tera and not something you want to activate at all
tera water is best
i literally cannot wait
Shoutouts to The Doctor & Scarzig....amazing work!
After watching FalseSwipes History of Lando in Comp a few days ago and now your video, it's safe to say Lando is the GOAT 🐐
Its ttar imo
landorus T when the jolly great tusk smacks it in the face with an ice spinner
Lando: you should’ve aimed for the head
G-darm: NO!!!
**snap
Thats a power thumbnail doc
that thumbnail activated my fight or flight response
Lando T is used so much because it's the Pokemon that you pick when you have one extra slot in your team and you have no idea what to fill it with.
He's moreso the mon you put on your team to cover any of it's weaknesses. Needs a defogger? Lando. Needds a stealth rocker? Lando. Needs a scarfer? Lando. Needs a setup sweeper? Lando. Needs a physically defensive mon? Lando. Needs a pivot? Lando. Needs a status spreader? Lando.
@@N0GG1N Basically the same thing, but yeah. He does everything and anything you need him to do and he does it well.
@@N0GG1N it's losing the defogger part at least
@@N0GG1Nneed a spdef mon: lando
That's not primarily why Lando is so spammed. It's because Lando is the epitomy of role compression. You slap lando on your team first and then you don't have to worry about a ground type for electrics, or an EQ immunity, etc. It can provide you, all at the same time, an EQ immunity, an electric immunity, rocks, defogging, knock off and toxic spreader, a pivot with u-turn and so much more. If you want everything Lando does, you *have* to use two pokemon to cover those same roles. As an example: Corv and Hippo, Corv is the ground immunity and defogger that you can pivot from with u-turn, while Hippo gives you the electric immunity, rocks and maybe whirlwind support. Lando can do all of those things at the same time, in just one slot. That's why it's so spammable, not just because it's versatile but because it compresses a bunch of roles so incredibly well.
I think lando T and great tusk show a perfect formula in pokemon:
Ground type with good attack utility defence, average speed access to stealth rock, and access to stealth rock removal.
Previous bests in generations have some of these but not all and got de-throned
Tyranitar had many weaknesses but had good bulk to not care and left a huge impact on the battle even after it left because of sand stream.
Great stab move that hits hard and never misses, only downside is flying types
Can remove and set hazards
U turn
Great stats speed is solid too
An ability that helps it be bulky
Possible explosion
It's base form is good too
Can run special sets
Toxic
Knock off
Great typing (two immunities)
Great Tusk is gonna dance over Landorus grave
Probably explains the 1:15:40 video of Landorus on the False Swipe Gaming channel 🤔
take a shot every time he says Landorus-Therian in the first 3 minutes.
“Overwhelming cascade of offensive onslaught” really liked that for some reason
I can't hate Lando T man. People hate it because it's good, but nothing it does is so oppressive that it gobbles the meta up. I played when Garchomp was in OU, that was annoying. I played Gen 3 OU when Breloom became a thing, and it made me understand why Gen 5 banned sleep, sleep isnt fun. Lando is a beast who you can count on to always get something done, but it's rare he dominates a meta by being unstoppable and he isnt outright anti-fun.
Lando-T is so good it checks itself
Same with Heatran
I think they literally made the therian forms for the genies because genwunners were complaining about how they didn't look like Pokemon, what ever that means.
Great Tusk must have some incredible dexterity to use Knock Off like that.
Dude the thumbnail art is crazy.
Agent Tusk is clear, Lando lost moves like toxic, and even in nat Dex where he still has said moves Tusk has more usage
Yep. Great Tusk is the new Lando-T.
ready to see lando-t in UU for a good 3 seconds
We can try to imagine. Currently in Nat dex Lando and great tusk peacefully coexist doing their own thing. But the same thing cannot happen in the present gen ou because of the reduced move accessibility, no z moves etc. But I can say this for sure, once Lando hits the tier, no tusk is gonna mess around with offensive sets ( except maybe on sun teams).
Everybody loves Landorus.
Lando now has an equal within great tusk, which is crazy because tusk doesn't necessarily need an ability. It's good just with stats and typing
Tusk isn’t super broken tho js rlly versatile
This was a sick concept for a vid, I think it would be great to see a series out of something like this, and maybe talk about why some Pokemon were great in previous generations but have fallen out of favour in newer generations
You know it's actually hysterical to me in hindsight that although lando t is the more well known and considered absurd ground flying type, that the other of the same typing is nearly into ban status
bro i remember the old times when 99% of OU Teams had fcking Lando-T , and we even had HP Ice in our Landos to kill the enemy Lando-T
Love these types of video. Keep em coming Joey!
The Tom Brady of pokemon 💯
It would take a lot on a new ground/flying threat to replace landorus t without being broken
Goated thumbnail
This thumbnail has enough drip I feel like I'm going to find some money on the ground.
"Lando, what is this meta???"
"I AM THE META"
Lando T is the one and only true god of pokemon
Who do you think is better nowadays in terms of what they can do competitively, Lando T or Great Tusk?
Hard to say for certain as it's not back but imagine it will still be elite
Because of kingambit's viability, it's loss of knock, defog, and toxic, and tusks ice spinner, I'm pretty sure in the gen 9 home meta tusk will be better. Maybe once Tera goes away Lando will rise again, or if all the fliers coming back prove to be really popular.
@@fungalPS Oh yea, I forgot that Lando T lost a few crucial stuff in the gen 9 transition, so thats already not a fair comparison. But besides that yea, Great Tusk Ice Spinner already checks Lando while he has to resort to Tera Flying Tera Blast to get damage in. Yea, rip
@@fungalPS maybe Tusk keeps the #1 role, but I can still see Landorus being top 10
i imagine both can be used interchangeably but with tusk being slightly better
Me, whose 2nd favorite Pokémon shares it’s typing: NOT EVEN CLOSE
7:47 King Joey 👑👑
Don't let me Polish the Rock or Lando will sweep you like I miss Dwight
You fcking with that pink man imma throw up the rocks like im mr white!
A few graphics errors on this. In the immunity section, no mention of electric resist
I guess this is for those who thought 1 hour and 15 min for False Swipe Gaming was to long?
Tusk is ranked higher on the Nat Dex VA than unnerfed Lando. Keep in mind that Lando also gets Taunt this gen according to leaks and a special ground type stone edge, which isn't amazing on paper, but also has a 20% burn chance, which is quite significant
Natdex OU and open dex with normal rules OU are often very different metas. Although both offer excellent typing, between Lando and Tusk, the flying type is certainly much worse in a natdex format where HP ice exists. For example, SpDef Lando is a very reliable check to Zapdos in SwShOU but not SwSh Natdex or SV Natdex. SpDef is by far Lando's most universally flexible mode, but it just doesn't get as much benefit from SpDef when every special attacker could be packing an ice type move. Sometimes I find myself running some other special pivot, like Slowking, just because I don't want to risk 4x weaknesses against ladder opponents who could be packing some heat.
Tusk really thinks he’s lando
I would love to see a history of competitive pokemon from you. Grat vid
*"no matter where i go, i see his face"*
That thumbnail is lit
5:25 "not this most of the time"
💀💀💀
Landorus-T vs. Great Tusk will quite literally be the battle for a generation.
Great typing ability and stats, versatille movepool that allows multiple builds that are all viable and could heavily sway the match. THE best lead ever and top 5 pivots ever packed in one mon
If you are a noob, leading it is always safe
If you are a pro, you can utilize him in any way you see fit
The only reason I hate Landorus Therian is because I think its ugly and the fact that its everywhere means I actually have to look at it. If it didn't appear in a generation at some point I would legitimately be concerned about the health of the meta
He is a beautiful earth god tiger
I used to think that too but then I bought the lando t plushie. plush lando is so cute
It really is some hideous mf, but after seeing it for so many years, I cannot even call it that.
Lando-T stopped feeling like a Pokémon, it's not ugly like how Garbodor is ugly, it's just a thing that floats and fights other actual Pokémon for some reason.
Look at the state we are in right now, so many mons banned to ubers…then again i don’t think lando would have changed those bans
It looks intimidating. That's why it's ugly.
Great analysis as always!
freezai made a video in gen 8 about what would happen without species clause, and people would probably run 2-3 landorus
lando t tera flying: "you do not know it but you are already dead"
When it comes back, we'll see who's the greater tusk
Honestly I just want this thing to get some crazy buff that sends it to Ubers. I don't think it's ban worthy as is but I would like to experience just one generation without it. Maybe tera blast flying is enough but I doubt it.
hi aim 👉👈
Ty for educating me
From a design standpoint, this is great data to formulate gen 10 pokemon. Not to just ban lando but to make more threats on the same level.
Why was it never banned i thought you ban mons on usage 70% seems insane
Bans have never been usage based, they're based on how hard a mon is to deal with.
you deal with lando the same way you deal with any other bulky ground, its usage is high because it's versatile, not because it's broken.
The same way that nuke was banned but not normal guns.
@@vorpal1174 bans from OU arent usage based. If a mon had 70% usage in UU or below it would definately get bumped up to UUBL or OU
Overcentralization was a word thrown out a lot as a ban-worthy trait until B2W2/Gen 6 or so, coincidentally.
While smogon might feel like an unbiased authority on competitive 'mons a lot of the time, most ban/no ban decisions end up being made depending on how fun/not fun the majority of good players think it makes the tier in question.
Looks like pokeaimMD watched the FSG video too
I believe Lando will be easier to beat in this Gen because of the random Ice Tera everyone could have haha :D
We can see how it interacts with tusk in National Dex OU
Not at all. Z moves, hidden power, megas all make that play not anything like it is now. Really hard to judge when nat dex has so much
That and Natdex lando still has it's old moves like toxic, knock off and defog.
Has Smogon ever tried a ban on Lando-T just to see how the metagame would do without it? Was mildly interested in the competitive scene around Gen 7 but each subsequent Gen has turned me off more and more mainly because of Gamefreak's handling of the series(Rip Megas).
Not AFAIK, the closest of it is when Lando T isn't available in a given metagame.
For early SS and current SV it isn't availabl, although for the latter Great Tusk is being its spiritual successor.
And we mustn't forget the greatest Lando play of all time, when Blunder bloom doomed Keldeo on the switch
I always thought Gamefreak would make a priority ice special attack move or atleast a fast special attack mon, but they never did. I’ve always had to rely on a 1 time gimmick. But Lando truly is the best competitive mon of all time!
Landorus is coming to take his hood back from Great Tusk 👺😂
I learned nothing except that it does a thing.
What I don’t get is how are there no ways to check or counter with ice moves. HP doesn’t count.
Lando-T is Landorous's fursona and Landorous is some Pokémon dev's fursona
At 4:47 its a mega gyra instead of mega gross.
Just imagine Ice types actually having resistances?
If Landorous lost Intimidate, would it’s usage rate drop significantly?
No
Definitely, it would still be viable just because the typing, stats and movepool is excellent but losing intimidade will limit its switching opportunities on the physical side and it's a big deal.
Kinda but it'll still be used for its main purpose of a team glue. Of course Great Tusk is better nowadays but the point stands.
That last comment about Great Tusk scares me. Will Landorus be able to compete or will he join Tyranitar in falling from grace? I don't know if I could live in a world with Low Tier Landorus. It would be so heartbreaking.
I hope it stays in ou so i can enjoy lower tiers
I believe it'll stay in OU. It's strong enough to still be viable even in the age of Great Tusk. But if it did go in a lower tier somehow, it'd definitely be hell.
I'm genuinely starting to respect the Lando-T I initially hated with all my heart. He's always been excellent and spammable, fix problems instead of making them and has a reputation to uphold... I can't believe I'm saying this haha
Good video! Lando T is a fun example of a Pokemon that is SO common in teams but still "healthy" for the game. If it comes back it might be a bit worse since wasn't Intimidate nerfed?
Intimidate isn't nerfed, sad to say.
what if they just gave landorus ice fang. would that be terrible?
They gave Great Tusk Ice Spinner and it's doing great, so kinda.
Tbh this video just made me more convinced Lando-T is banworthy.
I fear the day lando-t drops to uu
Idk why the thumbnail made me crack up hard
Nasty Plot Psychic Lando-T will be a set in Gen 9, mark my words!
One of the greatest legendaries EVER!!!
Landorus Therian is the goat,
If someone hates lando T they havent played enough competitive or they just dont know how to use it..
I myself once a hater of lando t in gen 7 ou,and i also hated it in gen 8 ou bt then i tried it kind of forcefully and now i cant create a single team without lando t😂
faxx
I hate Lando because he's ugly
Nah, I just like gliscor better
@@trainerrichard6859 lando t can abuse hidden power because of high base spatk,yeah i know gliscor is great bt lando has high atk bt it just lacks recovery,bt it doesnt matter bcz it isnt a stall mon
mostly balance team uses it
agreeee!
Imagine in gen 9 if they take knock off and I turn from lando I'd love to see that
The thing caused a landslide of powercreeep in gen8.
I truly loathe this Pokémon, but not because of its competitive spammability or viability. I just hate its design with a passion as I think it's by far the worst looking therian, and I hated the Genies initially anyway. I'm sick of looking at this damn dog 24/7 in every gen that I've participated in. It's the tried and true combo of a pokémon that looks terrible to me and also just so happens to be the best in competitive that constantly reminds me of its existence, which makes me hate it even more. You can't escape this thing in singles, or doubles. Whether it's my own petty pride, I just kind of refused to use this thing out of principle and did not want to associate with it in any capacity. In the few times where this guy wasn't around, it was definitely refreshing to see an OU without the smogon doggo. If Great Tusk is the new Lando T, then I don't mind it as GT looks so much better imo. But hey, you can't complain that the Lando isn't the goat of OU since it's introduction, so kudos to all who can stand looking at the thing. As for me, I've always had a nice ice cube in the pocket ready to throw at it.
babe wake up spicy new copypasta just dropped
landorus will have a niche over tusk if it keeps any of the many tools of toxic, u turn, explosion, SD, knock off.
