Professor Geekbeak’s Raid Research: Landorus Therian

Hello students! My name is Professor Noctowl, and today, I wish to draw attention to Landorus Therian. This member of the Forces of Nature, despite being in the same leagues as titans like Primal Groudon, is still a wonderful Ground Type pick. Grab your notebooks, class is in session. For those who wish to do their research independently, our raw data can be found here. And for those who wish for a simple visual guide, go ahead and take a look at the below visual guide by CaptGoldfish.

Like Mega Garchomp before it, this Ground type finds itself doubly weak to Ice, with no way to produce an answer for the frozen threat.

The Dean’s List consists of the top 5 counters to Landorus Therian. As always, the Valedictorian, Salutatorian, and the Third Ranked will have their best moveset alternatives in a table with their rankings and a table detailing their defensive prowess against the charge moves listed above.

We here at Pokebattler Pokémon Research Institute can’t expect you to have the best counters every time. So, here are some of our other best options, most of which will be easier to find than the members of the Dean’s List.

Of course, besides our 10 best counters, there are plenty of Pokémon that also work against Landorus Therian. Here are a few star choices, worthy of praise.

Sometimes, the weather can be your most powerful ally. In certain weather conditions, certain Pokémon on our list excel. The most transformative cases are noted below.

Overall, Landorus Therian is quite easy. Having that incredibly glaring weak point makes fighting pokemon like this easy, but does not detract from their usefulness, as you can choose when to put it in. Of course, if you wish to do more research on your box’s best Pokémon for the job, Pokebattler.com itself can be a great help! Remember, the best counter is the one you have powered up and ready to go. I grant extra credit to those who use their best friend bonus and the weather to their advantage. Class dismissed!
