Bulldoze is aphysical ground-typemove learned at level 14 (mastered at 25) with an attack power of 90 and takes full advantage of the STAB. Earth Power, however, is aspecialground-typemove learned at level 47 (mastered at 59) with an immense attack power of 135.
Sandsear Storm is aground-type moveand Therian Landorus' best offensive option, learned last at level 52 (mastered at 65), with a staggering power of 142.5.

Therian Landorus' Best Stats
This meansphysical attacks rather than special attacks should usually be Therian Landorus' fortein Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Both stats are incredibly high, and many other powerful moves such as Stone Edge or even Giga Impact can be learned for a price from Zisu at the Training Grounds in Jubilife Village. Still, the latterrequires an entire turn to recharge and would nullify any help Therian Landorus can provide with its already lowered speed base stat from itsIncarnate Forme. The dragon-type move Outrage, meanwhile, could be a viable replacement for Crunch.
Other purchased moves such as Psychic or Hyper Beam are powerful moves and can be considered alternative options, but both have noticeably low PP, and they are special moves. You may find a great use for Therian Landorus in providing excellent coverage to get you through Hisui quickly and efficiently, over a longer amount of time, and with PP to spare.
Landorus is a part of the legendary Generation V trio, including Thundurus and Tornadus, and can be foundduring the post-game only after getting the Reveal Glass from Cogitaand completing the Pokédex entry for Enamorus. Touch Incarnate Landorus with the glass any time, and it will change to its Therian Forme. Therian Landorus' power is high, especially as a legendary Pokémon, and would be a great choice to strengthen your party while building out your Pokédex. Be sure to also take advantage of itsbest nature, which adds a further 10 percent attack increase.
