Notable Moves:

-Will-O-Wisp
-Tera Blast
Pros:
-Decent SpA
-Has Flame Body which scares physically offensive threats from attacking it
-Good matchups against many of the physical attackers on the tier (Meowscarada, Great Tusk, Zamazenta, etc)
-Reliable recovery in Roost
-Access to U-Turn
-Diverse Fire STAB options in Fire Blast, Flamethrower, Heat Wave and Overheat
-Can scare off physical attackers trying to switch in with Will-O-Wisp
Cons:
-Has to run HDB because its Stealth Rock weakness
-Meh speed tier
-No coverage
-Doesnt have as much SpA as other bulky offensive threats
-Doesnt have as much bulk as other bulky offensive threads
-Predictable movepool
-4x weakness to Rock, which if you are switching into eq, the eq user probably has some coverage of
-It lost Defog and Scorching Sands in the transition to SV, which hurts it a lot
Tera Potential:
Tera Fire: Makes its plethora of Fire STABs even stronger, and eliminates its Electric weakness, not much else to say about
Tera Water: Gives it access to Tera Water Tera Blast to make it able to hit Rock and Fire types that resist its STABs while getting a superb defensive type that flips its Water weakness, but still retains its Electric weakness
Tera Ground: It switches its 4x rock weakness to a resistance, and its electric weakness to an immunity, but retains its water weakness, this guy misses having Scorching Sands because it scared off any Fire or Rock type that wanted to switch into its STAB moves, so having a more powerful version of it in Tera Ground Tera Blast helps it a lot
