I thought Reuniclus could handle Terrakion, but no, it really does 6-0 you right off the bat because +2 LO X-Scissor kills it more often than not and your only hope is to whirlwind it with Skarm or hax it with Garchomp. I say go for Superpower or Low Kick on Tyranitar. Ice Beam only hits stuff that OHKOes you first or are hit harder by Pursuit (Latios, Gliscor, Dragonite etc.) so I really don't understand the point of it. You pack hard counters to the first two of those and are about as well set up for Dragonite as anyone. Ice Beam is really useless on LeadTar right now unless you think Gliscor will actually switch into you. This is just one pokemon that gives you trouble so it may not be worth using Slowbro over Reuniclus considering the effectiveness of it against other things.
