Biology

Lands visited by this Legendary Pokémon grant such bountiful crops that it has been hailed as "The Guardian of the Fields". It creates energy through the forces of lightning and wind through its tail. When the incarnations of wind and of lightning clash, Landorus arrives to quell the conflict.

After the tempests and thunderbolts abate, the land is sure to be blessed with bountiful harvests.

Design & origin

Landorus' Incarnate Forme is inspired by the Japanese Inari Ōkami, the Shinto god of agriculture and fertility, while its Therian Forme stems from the Four Symbols of Chinese myth, specifically the White Tiger.
