This is the thing with the whole Lando T vs Lando I debate. Lando T is far better because of 1. Intimidate, 2. Rock Slide with scarf with base 145 attack is going to do damage no matter what, and 3. the uses can go so many ways, whether its AV, Scarfed, Banded, Sashed, Yache Berry, etc there is a lot of versatile ways to use Landorus T. However, the Lando T vs I in a battle debate would see Lando I as the victor for 1 reason. Hidden Power Ice should be able to KO a Lando T no matter what. Especially with LO and Expert Belt. Here are the 4 most common sets used according to Nuggetbridge:
252 SpA Life Orb Landorus Hidden Power Ice vs. 164 HP / 28 SpD Landorus-T: 192-229 (103.7 - 123.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Life Orb Landorus Hidden Power Ice vs. 116 HP / 4 SpD Landorus-T: 198-234 (110.6 - 130.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Life Orb Landorus Hidden Power Ice vs. 12 HP / 4 SpD Landorus-T: 198-234 (119.2 - 140.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Life Orb Landorus Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Landorus-T: 203-239 (123 - 144.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO
However, with AV Lando T still has a chance to survive a HP Ice even with a plus nature:
252+ SpA Life Orb Landorus Hidden Power Ice vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Landorus-T: 146-177 (88.4 - 107.2%) -- 37.5% chance to OHKO
In my opinion Lando T is the better choice for VGC, but Lando I is a good way to throw your opponent off guard.
