Stats & Training
Landorus's built around mixed offense. Attack leads the charge, Sp. Def pays for it. Near-impossible to catch, worth 3 Sp. Atk EVs. Follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Lands visited by Landorus grant such bountiful crops that it has been hailed as “The Guardian of the Fields.”
From the forces of lightning and wind, it creates energy to give nutrients to the soil and make the land abundant.
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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 4x (Critical) | Ice |
| 2x (Weak) | Water |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Fighting, Poison, Bug |
| 0x (Immune) | Electric, Ground |
