Verdict
Situational
Landorus is a solid but not elite Ground-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#15) in raid performance. With a max CP of 4,057 and base stats of 261/182/205, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Ground-type counters. The best moveset is Mud Shot paired with Earth Power. Consider investing if you need a Ground-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
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.
