BW OU Suspect Testing Round 11 - Genie in a Bottle (http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3484919). Looks like Lando-I is in for a suspect test.

What do you think will happen if Lando-I gets banned? (I might consider doing a Hitler rage video about this.)

If it does, then a lot of kiddies who think they can win will find a new legendary for their team~
But honestly, something like a Cloyster can easily shut that thing down so I don't know, it's up to Showdown and Smogon.

In a Kyogre vs. Tyranitar scenario, Kyogre usually wins the weather war early game (from my experience) so Landorus might not have that sand support that it has pretty reliably in OU. Hippowdon is a different story, however. The reason that i'm automatically spewing out facts about kyogre is because it's on almost half of all given Ubers teams on pokemon showdown. lando-i wouldn't have enough power to plow through kyogre in one hit, and kyogre would OHKO with ice beam (or surf or scald or hydro pump or water spout.) Kyurem-W would also kill it with its STAB moves outright. Landorus-I does sit at a pretty good speed tier, however, and it would work very well against stall teams, which is why Tornadus-T is in ubers, because of its ability to outpace arceus and break stall quite easily. Stall teams are very prevalent in Ubers.
All in all, Landorus-I being banned is a very real possibility. It is very good in OU, but i have a feeling that it wouldn't be a groundbreaking threat in Ubers.
