Trivia[]

• Landorus is the only legendary Ground/Flying Pokémon.
• It's possible that this Pokémon creates sandstorms, as Tornadus creates whirlwinds and tornadoes, and Thundurus creates thunderstorms.
• Landorus shares similarities with Rayquaza in many ways, seeing how they appear to be the masters of their trio, have higher base stats, and how they both stopped their counterparts from harming their home region.
• Although Landorus is a Flying type, it doesn't learn any moves of this type through leveling up.
• Even though Landorus is said to have punished the other members of its trio, it does not have a type advantage over them.
  • However, this can be countered by the fact that Landorus can learn rock type attack moves by leveling up.
• Landorus is the only member of the Forces of Nature to not debut in a movie.
• While Landorus has a gender, it still cannot breed due to being a Legendary Pokémon.

Origin[]

Landorus is based on Inari, the Shinto god/goddess (Inari has been portrayed as both a man and a woman) of fertility, agriculture, wealth, commerce, industry, and foxes. It, alongside the other Forces of Nature, resembles a genie, or possibly Aeolus, a God and personification of the winds in Greek Mythology.

Its Therian Forme is based on the White Tiger from the Four Symbols of Chinese mythology.

Etymology[]

Landorus and its Japanese name, Randorosu, likely come from land and Aeolus, a Greek wind god.
