Lands visited by Landorus grant such bountiful crops that it has been hailed as “The Guardian of the Fields.”

why does landorus have a weakness to grass? flying resists both grass and bug. water makes much more sense like in the previous cards
Jack
In terms of the rationale behind the decision, my best guess would be, very few Fighting-type Pokémon in the Sun & Moon era deviated from the Grass or Psychic weakness, so maybe they wanted to keep things aligned. (Gligar and Gliscor, which share the same typing as Landorus, also had Grass weaknesses.) I’m just making an educated guess, though, honestly. I do agree with you completely; Ground/Flying Pokémon have only two weaknesses – Water and Ice – so a Water weakness in the TCG would absolutely make the most sense, as it did with all Landorus cards prior to this one.

It looks like starting in the Sun & Moon block, they stopped making (video game) Ground types weak to Water, and made them all weak to Grass. The only Fighting-type weak to Water in the TCG post-Sun & Moon is Sudowoodo! All other (video game) Rock types post-SM are also weak to Grass.
(And even Sudowoodo started being weak to Grass, from Sword & Shield on.)
