How to unlock Landorus
Landorus is not sold directly, so the only route is the Unova banner, where it occupies a 5★ slot. The 5★ band takes 1.5% of all pulls and holds 103 partners, so one specific Landorus works out to about 0.0146% per draw. The 70-pull pity counter guarantees a 5★, but it does not target Landorus specifically, so a guarantee can still resolve to another 5★. A duplicate Landorus refunds 300 coins at the 5★ rate.
Landorus stats and rank
Landorus reads 110 HP, 120 speed, ×1.39 attack, ×1.39 physical, ×1.33 special, 90 defense and 80 special defense, for a 600 base-stat total. On the three-stat percentile this is 83.1 out of 100, which puts Landorus at rank 52 of 966 and in tier S. The relative picture matters more than the total: its strongest slot is physical multiplier (92nd percentile) and its weakest is special defense (65th percentile), so it is a specialist rather than an all-rounder.
Best moves in Landorus's pool
At move level 5 the pool is led by Gust at 31.2 damage per 0.26s (159.8 effective DPS, ×1.33 multiplier), then Body Slam at 75.6 damage per 0.71s (147.5 effective DPS, ×1.39 multiplier), then Tackle at 33.6 damage per 0.38s (124.5 effective DPS, ×1.39 multiplier). 12 of its 18 damaging moves scale with the physical multiplier and 6 with the special one, alongside 4 support moves. Its physical multiplier is the higher of the two (×1.39 against ×1.33), so physical moves convert better. The top option beats the second by 12.3 DPS, which decides slot one and leaves slot two as a judgement call. Effective DPS is damage over cooldown times the matching multiplier; it ignores range and area, so a lower-DPS cone can still clear faster than a single-target melee.
Evolution cards for Landorus
Its starting move, Mud Shot, evolves into Earth Power once the move is at level 5 and you hold the Power card, which boosts attack for that run. Menu upgrades use a separate system and never stand in for Power. 18 of its 22 moves carry an evolution card, across 5 distinct cards (Vigor, Sprint, Power, Reflexes and Armor). The strongest of them is Gust at 159.8 effective DPS, so that is the one worth holding a card for first.
Landorus compared to similar partners
The two closest stat lines in the roster are Salamence (+3 HP, +0 speed, +0.05 attack, +0 total) and Hydreigon (+1 HP, -1 speed, same attack multiplier, +0 total). Against Salamence, the two are level on speed and Salamence hits harder by ×0.05, and the rank gap is 28 places. Read those deltas as swap costs, because a gain on one line is usually paid for on another, so neither side is a strict upgrade and the move pools have to break the tie.
