[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T's excellent defensive typing allows it to check threats like Zacian and Great Tusk and, when paired with Intimidate and its solid utility options, makes it a good defensive pivot for bulky offense and balance teams. Stone Edge lets it hit threats such as Kyurem-W and Ogerpon-H, while Crunch hits Giratina and the tier's various Psychic-types, such as Mewtwo and Deoxys. Taunt allows Landorus-T to hinder bulky walls such as Solgaleo, Giratina, and Magearna. Rocky Helmet, in conjunction with Intimidate, lets Landorus-T punish physical attackers, especially U-turn users like Sneasler and opposing Landorus-T. Tera Water is a solid defensive typing that lets Landorus-T beat Palafin and removes its crippling Ice weakness, letting it better check Baxcalibur. Solgaleo forms a fantastic defensive core with Landorus-T, checking threatening special attackers like Palkia-O for it and covering its Ice weakness, notably taking on the dangerous Kyurem-W. In return, Landorus-T absorbs Ground-type moves and checks physical attackers like Great Tusk and Kingambit for Solgaleo. Wallbreakers like the aforementioned Palkia-O and Kyurem-W appreciate Landorus-T being able to safely bring them in with a slow U-turn; in exchange, they can dispatch of Landorus-T's checks like Palafin and Giratina. On bulkier teams, Clefable is able to pass Wish, making up for Landorus-T's lack of reliable recovery, while also checking Pokemon that otherwise take advantage of Landorus-T, like Arceus-Dark and Giratina.

[SET COMMENTS]
Landorus-T's excellent defensive typing paired with Intimidate and its solid utility options (What utility options? Taunt? U-Turn? Could you list some of these? Stealth Rocks?) makes it a good defensive glue (Glue? did you mean a defensive pivot?) for bulky offense and balance teams. (No mention of Stealth Rocks?) Stone Edge lets it hit Ground immune Pokemon that otherwise force it to use U-Turn, such as Lugia (Is hit by crunch, would prefer other examples, like Kyurem-W or Volcarona), while Crunch hits the tier's various Psychic-types, such as Mewtwo, as well as Giratina for solid damage. Taunt denies slow bulky Pokemon such as the aforementioned Giratina from inflicting status as well as Magearna from setting up hazards (Perhaps mention that it can stop threats from setting up on Landorus, or Solgaleo from Teleporting out). Rocky Helmet, in conjunction with Intimidate, lets Landorus-T punish physical attackers, especially U-Turn users like Sneasler and opposing Landorus-T. Tera Water is a solid defensive typing that lets Landorus beat Palafin-H and removes its crippling Ice weakness (Which helps with Kyurem-W and Baxcalibur?). Ground-weak Pokemon, like Chi-Yu and Solgaleo, appreciate Landorus-T's ability to absorb Ground moves. Solgaleo in particular forms a fantastic defensive core with Landorus-T, as it checks threatening special attackers like Palkia-O for it (Elaborate with more examples and type synergy). Wallbreakers like Palkia-O and Kyurem-W, appreciate Landorus-T being able to bring it in with a slow U-Turn; in exchange, they are able to dispatch Landorus-T's checks like Palafin-H and Giratina. On bulkier teams, Clefable is able to pass Wish while checking Pokemon that otherwise take advantage of Landorus-T, like Arceus-Dark and and Giratina. (Maybe note Landorus-T's lack of longevity and susceptibility to chip damage.)

(Remember to format it and don't forget the crediting. I would not that you don't really sue more than one example in alot a situations, so maybe you could add more?)

Landorus-T's excellent defensive typing (allowing it to check...? could mention stuff like Tuskie, Zama, or Zac here methinks.) paired with Intimidate and its solid utility options, including Stealth Rock, U-Turn, and Taunt, makes it a good defensive pivot for bulky offense and balance teams. Stone Edge lets it hit threats such as Kyurem-W and Volcarona (Volcs kinda mid, mention something like Oger-H instead), while Crunch hits the tier's various Psychic-types, such as Mewtwo and Deoxys, as well as Giratina for solid damage. Taunt denies Pokemon that attempt to set up on Landorus-T (Such as...?) as well as Solgaleo from teleporting and slow bulky Pokemon like Giratina and Magearna from inflicting status or setting hazards respectively. (This feels kind of run on. Would say "Taunt allows Landorus-T to stop setup attempts from Pokemon like X as well as crippling walls like Solgaleo, Giratina, and Magearna.) Rocky Helmet, in conjunction with Intimidate, lets Landorus-T punish physical attackers, especially U-Turn users like Sneasler and opposing Landorus-T. Tera Water is a solid defensive typing that lets Landorus beat Palafin and removes its crippling Ice weakness, letting it better check Baxcalibur. Ground-weak Pokemon, like Chi-Yu and Solgaleo, appreciate Landorus-T's ability to absorb Ground moves (This feels kind of weak. Mention what these 2 do back for lando.) . Solgaleo in particular forms a fantastic defensive core with Landorus-T, as it checks threatening special attackers like Palkia-O for it and covers Landorus-T's Ice weakness, notably checking the threatening Kyurem-W (And in return Landorus does..? could say "Checks Physical Attackers like Kingambit and Great Tusk Solgaleo struggles into) . Wallbreakers like the aforementioned Palkia-O and Kyurem-W appreciate Landorus-T being able to bring it in with a slow U-Turn; in exchange, they are able to dispatch Landorus-T's checks like Palafin and Giratina. On bulkier teams, Clefable is able to pass Wish, making up for Landorus-T's lack of longevity, while also checking Pokemon that otherwise take advantage of Landorus-T, like Arceus-Dark and Giratina.

- The biggest thing here is that you make a lot of unnecessary subjective changes here/make drastic fixes that could've been much closer to the original text. We want to preserve as much of the writers voice as possible, so you should only really make subjective changes if something is hard/awkward to read, hard to understand, or unnecessarily wordy.
- You should also avoid altering the author's tone or intention in GP checks. For example, adding "Ghost-type Pokemon such as" before Giratina implies that there are Ghost-type targets besides just Giratina, which the original text did not imply. Similarly, adding "severely" before "punish physical attackers" changes the tone, as there is a clear difference in how much the physical attackers are affected with the adverb present.
- The "T" in "U-turn" isn't capitalized.
- When referring to Landorus-Therian, you should never use "Landorus" in place of "Landorus-T".
