Terrakion's high Speed and access to perfect coverage mean that it is an ideal Choice Scarf user that outspeeds most other Choice Scarf users in the tier, making it an excellent revenge killer. Earthquake helps it deal with Poison-types such as Fezandipiti and Okidogi. Rock Slide gives Terrakion a more reliable Rock-type move to use by trading power for accuracy. Stealth Rock allows Terrakion to act as an entry hazard setter that is able to get it up on Pokemon it forces out like Choice Scarf Krookodile locked into Knock Off. Justified allows Terrakion to switch into Dark-type attacks and punish moves like Knock Off from Cyclizar to boost its Attack. Tera Rock helps Terrakion by boosting its Rock-type moves, helping it clean up versus foes that don't resist Rock and threatening a 2HKO on Amoonguss and Galarian Weezing after Stealth Rock. Tera Ground boosts Earthquake's damage and threatens an OHKO on Fezandipti and Okidogi while giving Terrakion an immunity to Electric-type attacks and Thunder Wave from Thundurus.

Choice Scarf Terrakion fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, as it is a great revenge killer that can outspeed common Choice Scarf users like Gardevoir and Krookodile. Chesnaught and Hippowdon make for good partners that offer utility like entry hazards and Rocky Helmet chip damage that weaken the opposing Pokemon and make it easier for Terrakion to clean. Sand Stream Hippowdon can also set up sandstorm for Terrakion, giving it a Special Defense boost and allowing it to switch into special attacks it normally shouldn't. Terrakion struggles into strong physical walls like Hippowdon, Slowbro, and Galarian Weezing, which can stop it from cleaning, so bulky partners like Salamence, Talonflame, and Wo-Chien are appreciated, as they can take hits for Terrakion and force these walls out. Wallbreakers like Okidogi and special attackers like Magnezone and Hisuian Zoroark can also weaken the aforementioned walls while making it much easier for Terrakion to clean up. Future Sight support from Slowbro and Reuniclus makes it harder for physical walls to switch in and particularly punishes Poison-types such as Amoonguss and Galarian Weezing, allowing Terrakion to use its STAB moves more often instead of locking into Earthquake.

Terrakion's high Speed stat and access to powerful perfect coverage moves EQ is its only coverage move, the part that makes terrak great is that stabs + eq is unresisted makes it an ideal Choice Scarf user that outspeeds most other Choice Scarf users in the tier, making it an excellent revenge killer as well. Earthquake helps it deal with Poison-types such as Fezandipiti and Okidogi. Rock Slide gives Terrakion a more reliable Rock-type move to click by trading power for accuracy. Stealth Rocks allows Terrakion to act as a hazard setter that is able to get it up on Pokemon it forces out like?. Justified allows Terrakion to switch into Dark-type attacks and punish moves like Knock Off from Cyclizar to boost its Attack. Tera Rock helps Terrakion defensively by removing its Fairy- and Psychic-type weaknesses while also If there are no/very few relevant matchups that are improved because of the defensive utility, you don't need to mention it boosting Terrakion's its Rock-type moves, helping it clean up versus neutral opponents and threatening a 2HKO on Amoonguss and Galarian Weezing after rocks. Tera Ground boosts Earthquake's damage add that this helps terrakion with specific calcs like fezan and similarly removes the weaknesses to Fairy and Psychic while also giving Terrakion an immunity to Electric-type attacks and Thunder Wave from Thundurus.

Choice Scarf Terrakion fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, providing great speed control and an excellent revenge killer thanks to its Speed tier allowing it to outspeed most other Choice Scarf users. While Justified gives Terrakion a boost for getting hit by Dark-type attacks, it does not appreciate taking Knock Offs and losing its Choice Scarf, making Knock Off absorbers like Chesnaught and Hippowdon good partners while offering utility like entry hazards and Rocky Helmet chip damage. This is a weak point for the reason you mention at the start of the sentence - swapping out a scarf for a temporary +1 is really not a bad trade. Instead emphasize the entry hazard setting since that makes it easier for Terrak to clean. Sand Stream Hippowdon can also get up Sandstorm for Terrakion, giving it a 50% boost to Special Defense and allowing Terrakion to switch into special attacks it normally shouldn't. Terrakion struggles into strong physical walls like Hippowdon, Slowbro, and Galarian Weezing which can stop it from cleaning, so defensive partners like Empoleon, Jirachi, and Talonflame are appreciated as they can take the hits for Terrakion and force them out. Wallbreakers like Okidogi can also weaken the aforementioned walls while also spreading toxic, making it much easier for Terrakion to clean up. mention special wallbreakers like Horoark and Magnezone as well since they can threaten these walls more reliably. Also add that future sight support from partners like slowbro and reuniclus makes it harder for most of these defensive pokemon to switch in.

Choice Scarf Terrakion fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, providing great speed control and an excellent great revenge killer thanks to its Speed tier allowing it to outspeed most other Choice Scarf users you already said that, can you rephrase and add examples this time, like Gardevoir or Krookodile would do fine. Chesnaught and Hippowdon make for good partners that offer utility like entry hazards and Rocky Helmet chip damage that weaken the opposing Pokemon and make it easier for Terrakion to clean. Sand Stream Hippowdon can also get up Sandstorm for Terrakion, giving it a 50% boost to Special Defense and allowing Terrakion to switch into special attacks it normally shouldn't. Terrakion struggles into strong physical walls like Hippowdon, Slowbro, and Galarian Weezing which can stop it from cleaning, so defensive bulky partners like Empoleon, Jirachi, I think you can do better here than these guys, Empo doesn't like do be burned, same for Jirachi, Salamence and Wo-Chien would imo be better here for instance and Talonflame are appreciated as they can take the hits for Terrakion and force them out. Wallbreakers like Okidogi and special attackers like Magnezone and Hisuian Zoroark can also weaken the aforementioned walls while to make it much easier for Terrakion to clean up. Future Sight support from Slowbro and Reuniclus make it harder for physical walls to switch in and particularly punishes Poison-types examples which allows Terrakion to click its STAB moves more freely without having to lock into a weaker coverage move Earthquake.
