What are Landorus's weaknesses in Pokémon Go?
Landorus is a Ground and Flying-type Pokémon, so it is weak against Ice and Water-type attacks.
Ice-type attacks will be twice as strong, however, as it is super effective against both Ground and Flying-types.
This means you’re best off using powerful Ice-type Pokémon and attacks against Landorus.
In terms of the best Pokémon to use as counters for Landorus in Pokémon, you’ll find a list of suitable candidates in the section below.
Best counters for Landorus in Pokémon Go
Any Strong Ice-type Pokémon will be a great Landorus counter in Pokémon Go. Ice-type attacks are doubly strong against the legendary Pokémon, as it is a Ground and Flying-type.
Because Ice-type attacks are proper powerful against Landorus, you’ll need to bring along your best Ice-type Pokémon to the Raid Battle.
If you have one, Mamoswine is a great pick, as is Weavile and Baxcalibur. It’s a lot easier to get hold of a Glaceon if you can evolve your Eevee, too, meaning it will be a great pick against Landorus.
Other good picks include Walrein, Kyogre, Jynx, Avalugg, Mr Rime, Aurorus and any more strong Ice-type (or Water-type!) Pokémon you have.
It will be a difficult battle regardless, but you can make it so much easier if you bring the right Pokémon. Focus on Ice-types and Water-types and you’ll defeat a Landorus 5-Star Raid Battle soon enough.
Best Landorus moveset in Pokémon Go

These moves have a combined damage per second of 15.87 and a total damage count of 477.20 before it faints.
