I have a lot of favorite pokemon. But of all time would be Garchomp. Hes a Dragon/Shark/Jet. Like that shit is fucking awesome on so many dam levels. <3 For the current gen i would say Noivern or Malamar. I really like the way they look and their design.

Man I want some shit to get released already. It's been 8 months I think we have waited long enough for those legendaries. ;___; I really want to try out Hoopa, even though I know it will be trash.

Yep, one ice attack...

Name me one other method to deal with it before it kills you?

Keep in mind as a lead it's pretty muchguaranteed rocks and has access to U-Turn.

There's really no such thing as a "hard counter" to Landorus-T. Skarmory comes closest, as most Landorus-T sets will be entirely unable to break through it, but Gravity turns that matchup on its head. Virizion can easily sponge Hidden Power Ice, but its mediocre physical defense means that it can't switch into too many Earthquakes throughout the match. Bulky variants of Latias can easily take a Stone Edge and recover off the damage, but U-turn is still unfriendly, as whatever follows Landorus-T is likely to force Latias out and prevent it from Recovering. Gliscor fears nothing except Hidden Power Ice, but is deathly afraid of said move, so make sure to scout out the set before sending Gliscor in headlong. Slowbro is probably the best counter, as it can take anything Landorus-T throws at it and recover it off passively with Regenerator. However, watch out for U-turn, especially if paired with a Pursuit user to eliminate Slowbro on the way out.

Landorus-T's Speed tier renders it much easier to confront offensively than its alternate form. Notably, Salamence outspeeds it and packs an Earthquake immunity, though Stone Edge and Hidden Power Ice do a number on it. Thundurus-T does the same, and will easily destroy Landorus-T with Hidden Power Ice. Jirachi can be hard to switch in, but it can eliminate it with Ice Punch or play flinch games in a pinch. Faster variants of Celebi often carry Hidden Power Ice, which also deals with Landorus-T with ease. Last, but certainly not least, Mamoswine can use Ice Shard to bypass Landorus-T's Speed advantage and take it out. It can also Icicle Crash against bulkier sets, which Landorus-T is unlikely to survive.

So what you are saying is, you basically need another pseudo legendary to compete with it...

Mamoswine will not be able to 1HKO it with shard.
Greninja can do some serious damage with ice beam
But the fact that it has such massive mixed stats coupled with great speed and boosted by great HP and has base 600 is just...UGH.

@TakeAChance
Bro those are both okhos...if ice shard isn't doing it icicle crash sure as hell is. Landorus-T is good but no where near as bad as just plain old sheer force landorus. He can't take water type moves very well either so that's something to keep in mind.

Edit: Ice shard isn't an okho, but still deals like 55-65%.
