Then use SD, preferably. It's just that U-turn fits much better with a Choice Scarf because residual damage from SR and LO stacks quickly and means that Landorus is going to die that much faster. If you want Landorus to stay in and use LO, that's fine, just don't use U-turn with it. :>

I'm surprised why people haven't been using toxic on Cresselia, as that's a great way to counter it, as well as any other cm poke. Anyway, if you start to have problems with status on Cress, I would suggest switching Moonlight to Rest, especially since Moonlight heals less in Sandstorm in Rain, which are both common. However, if you don't like Rest, a kind of random move I use is Magic Coat. It actually works somewhat well, as this catches people off-guard, as well as blocks taunt, but it is risky as you no longer have any means of recovering. I just use it for fun lol.

I see your point, the main problem Cresselia faces in my experience is Payback.
2 Payback's from a Conkeldurr KO's Cresselia :(
