Landorus (Incarnate forme) is back in the raids. Landorus is a ground/flying-type Pokemon, and is used mostly as a ground-type attacker. It’s considered one of the top-tier ground-type attackers with a high ATK stat at 261. Its CP maxes at 3,588 at Lv. 40 and 4,057 at Lv. 50. Although it trails to Groudon, Garchomp, or its Therian forme, Landorus in its Incarnate forme is still a viable option to use in raids.
Landorus - Incarnate forme was introduced to Pokemon GO in March 2020. As a ground/flying-type Pokemon, the best counter is ice-type Pokemon, as ice counters both ground and flying. It’s vulnerable to water-type attacks as well. That being said, the most effective Pokemon against Landorus are Galarian Darmanitan, Mamoswine, and Weavile, all packed with ice-type moves. Surprisingly, Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Ice Beam is strong as well, even though it doesn’t have STAB.

Best Moves for Landorus
In Pokemon GO, Landorus - Incarnate forme can learn two fast moves and four charged moves. The fast moves are Mud Shot (Ground) and Rock Throw (Rock). As Landorus is a ground-type Pokemon, Mud Shot is the superior fast move, and it’s one of the best ground-type fast moves in the game, so it should be your go-to choice.
The four charged moves Landorus can learn are Rock Slide (Rock), Focus Blast (Fighting), Outrage (Dragon), and Earth Power (Ground). Obviously, you should pick Earth Power for your primary charged move, as it can benefit from STAB. Earth Power paired with Mud Shot will make your Landorus a decent ground-type attacker. For its secondary move, Rock Slide is the most recommended. Rock Slide has the lowest cost and a wide range of coverage, so it can be useful in certain situations. Outrage is another decent move to use against Dragon types, but it costs more energy, and it’s only useful when you want to snipe opponent Dragons in leagues.
Overall, Landorus - Incarnate forme is a decent ground-type fighter, which is underwhelming to its alternate forme. However, you can still utilize it in raids for more support, and it can excel in some league formats.
More updates are awaiting us in Pokemon GO. Better be prepared to catch’em all!
