There Is No That Is Now Let Us Know

If there is anymore evidence of Landorus-T's dominance over Gliscor here, it's this. Here's a quote from alexwolf, a Smogon user I respect highly.

"I see many people stating this here and there, so i feel the need to clear this wrong impression. Choice Band Terrakion does have a true OU counter, which is 252 HP / 252 Def + Gliscor, aka the defensive set that stall teams use (yeah the 72 Spe EVs are totally worthless on the defensive set). Check this calc if you don't believe me: 42.65 - 50.28%, 5.08% chance to 2HKO after SR. Add to this that SE hits twice only 64% of the time and you will see that Gliscor will be 2HKOed 3.2% of the time after SR. That's a counter in my book! Gliscor can then either PP stall SE with Roost (which defensive sets should carry contrary to common belief), or use Protect to surely avoid the 2HKO."

Your Gliscor would need to be fully defensive in order to win its slot over Lando-T. Otherwise, it's not a true counter. Besides, this isn't a stall team at all, and your Kyurem needs the free switch-ins provided by U-turn. Some of Lando-T's checks/counters are Starmie, Rotom-W, and Celebi, who Kyurem would love to set up on.

The Gliscor you use would have to be like this in order for you to reap the full benefit:
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Trait: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- U-turn
- Stealth Rock
- Roost / Protect
- Earthquake

Feel free to test that one out. It's a toss up, but I think you would get more kick out of Lando-T given its obscene power.
