How to Get Landorus

Landorus can be encountered in the wild in Pokemon GO.

A Shadow version of Landorus is available from Team GO Rocket. Shadow Landorus knows Frustration as its charged move, which can be removed with a Charged TM. Purifying costs 20,000 Stardust and 20 Candy, and the purified form learns Return. Walking Landorus as your buddy earns 1 candy every 20.0 km.

Trainer Tips

Landorus is a Ground/Flying-type Pokemon with a stat total of 648. With its high Attack stat (261), Landorus is best suited for offensive roles in both raids and PvP.

Be careful of Landorus's double weakness to Ice-type moves, which deal 156% increased damage. Opponents with these move types can take down Landorus very quickly.

Landorus's moves get a damage boost in Sunny and Windy weather. Take advantage of weather conditions to maximize your DPS in raids and gym battles.

Verdict

Collector's Pick
Landorus is a Ground/Flying-type Pokemon with base stats of 261/182/205 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 4,057. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Landorus may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.

Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Landorus deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best moveset for Landorus in Pokemon GO?
Landorus has multiple viable movesets depending on the battle format. The ideal moveset varies based on whether you are using Landorus for raids, gym battles, or PvP — check the moves section above for a full breakdown of each move's DPS, energy cost, and coverage.
What are Landorus's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Landorus is weak to Ice, Water-type moves. It has a double weakness to Ice, taking 156% more damage from these types. When battling Landorus, prioritize using Ice-type attackers to exploit this double weakness for maximum effectiveness. On the other hand, Landorus resists Ground, Bug, Electric, Fighting, Poison-type attacks, so avoid using those types against it. To counter Landorus effectively in raids and gyms, build a team using its weakest type matchups and pick attackers that have STAB moves of those types.
What is Landorus's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Landorus's maximum CP is 4,057 at level 50 (with XL Candy), or 3,588 at level 40. Reaching level 50 requires XL Candy, which is only available to trainers level 31 and above — earning XL Candy involves catching, hatching, transferring, and walking Pokemon. Landorus's CP is calculated from its base stats: 261 Attack, 182 Defense, and 205 Stamina. Powering up from level 40 to 50 requires a significant investment of XL Candy and Stardust, so plan your resources carefully. A 100% IV Landorus caught from raids or eggs (level 20) will have 2,050 CP, or 2,563 CP with weather boost (level 25).
What CP is a 100% IV Landorus?
A perfect 15/15/15 IV Landorus has the following CP at key levels: 1,538 CP at level 15 (research encounters), 2,050 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches), 2,563 CP at level 25 (weather-boosted raids), and 4,057 CP at level 50 fully powered up. If you catch a perfect IV Landorus, it is worth investing Stardust and Candy to power it up, especially if Landorus ranks well in raids or PvP. A 100% IV (also called a "hundo") is the rarest IV combination, so tag and favorite it to make sure you don't accidentally transfer it.
Is Shadow Landorus better than regular?
Shadow Landorus deals 20% more damage than its regular counterpart but also takes 20% more damage. For raids, Shadow Landorus is generally better due to the higher DPS output. For PvP, it depends on the matchup — the extra damage taken can be a significant drawback in extended battles where survivability matters. Shadow Landorus comes with Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM before powering up.
How to get Landorus in Pokemon GO?
Landorus can be found in the wild, though it may be rare depending on your biome and current events. Landorus can also be obtained through trading with other trainers.
Can Landorus be shiny in Pokemon GO?
