Welcome back, Trainers! It's time to see how Landorus will likely perform in Pokémon GO.

INCARNATE

• CATEGORY: Abundance Pokémon
• PRONOUNCED: LAN-duh-rus
• TYPE: Ground / Flying
• HEIGHT: 4' 11"
• WEIGHT: 149.9 lbs.

ATTACK:  261

DEFENSE:  182

STAMINA:  205

MAX  CP:  3588

PLACE IN THE META: Landorus will be a great new addition to GO. Essentially, it is a large improvement on Gliscor. While it does have a glaring weakness to Ice-type attacks like Gliscor and Garchomp, this Pokémon could easily become the new best Ground-type attacker.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Landorus:

• Extrasensory
• Mud Shot
• Smack Down

​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Landorus:

• Earth Power
• Outrage
• Rock Slide
• Stone Edge

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Landorus' movepool:

• Fissure
• Fly
• Hammer Arm

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Landorus gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.

THERIAN

• CATEGORY: Abundance Pokémon
• PRONOUNCED: LAN-duh-rus
• TYPE: Ground / Flying
• HEIGHT: 4' 03"
• WEIGHT: 149.9 lbs.

ATTACK:  289

DEFENSE:  179

STAMINA:  205

MAX  CP:  3922

PLACE IN THE META: As with Thundurus, the Therian Forme of Landorus is the better of the two variants. It substitutes a few points of Defense for a significant upgrade to its Attack stat. Definitely keep an eye out for this Pokémon!

Thanks for reading, Trainers! Kyurem is up next.
