Terrakion is a threat simply because no common VoltTurner, with the exception of Landorus-T, likes switching into its STAB-boosted (and possibly Band-boosted) moves. SubSD variants can also exploit VoltTurners locked into the wrong move by using them as set-up fodder. Yes, there are ways to check it, as you mentioned in your post, but such methods usually result in the loss of at least one Pokemon. However, Scarfed variants are no problem for VoltTurn teams since they don't hit hard enough.
