Quiver Dance + Terastallization make Frosmoth one of NU's deadliest sweepers. Despite its mediocre coverage, it can use Tera Ground alongside Tera Blast to beat Steel-types like Copperajah and Perrserker, as well as Muk. In addition, Tera Ground gives Frosmoth a Rock resistance so Lycanroc's Accelerock can't revenge kill Frosmoth. Alternatively, Frosmoth can drop Giga Drain and run Substitute with Tera Ghost to beat Chansey one-on-one and exploit Choice Scarf Passimian and Medicham that lock into Close Combat. Another option is Tera Fairy, blocking Eelektross's Dragon Tail and still helping against Choice Scarf Passimian as well as Mabosstiff. Special walls like Assault Vest Eelektross, Chansey, and Ursaring are difficult for Frosmoth to beat one-on-one depending on its Tera type, and others like Copperajah, Assault Vest Perrserker, and Muk aren't OHKOed by +1 Ground-type Tera Blast; pair Frosmoth with special wallbreakers such as Zoroark, Abomasnow, and Pyroar to soften up these checks. Also, Frosmoth is quite vulnerable to common Choice Scarf users like Passimian, Mabosstiff, and Medicham even at +1 without the proper Tera type, making defensive checks to them such as Qwilfish, Dachsbun, and Drifblim good to have.

Quiver Dance + Terastallization make Frosmoth one of NU's deadliest sweepers. Despite its mediocre coverage, it can use Tera Ground or Tera Fire alongside Tera Blast to beat Steel-types like Copperajah and Perrserker, with the former also helping against Muk. In addition, Tera Ground gives a Rock resistance so Lycanroc's Accelerock can't revenge kill Frosmoth, whereas Tera Fire helps with Medicham's Bullet Punch. Another option is Tera Fairy, preventing Choice Scarf Passimian from revenge killing +1 Frosmoth. This Tera type makes Bug Buzz a solid last move, offering coverage against Umbreon. this makes it sound like Fairy Tera Blast doesn't hit Umbreon. I feel Tera Blast isn't ever droppable on Frosmoth so slashing it with anything feels wrong to me. Special walls like Assault Vest Eelektross, Chansey, and Ursaring are difficult for Frosmoth to beat one-on-one, and others like Copperajah, Assault Vest Perrserker, and Muk aren't OHKOed by +1 Tera Blast; pair Frosmoth with special wallbreakers such as Zoroark, Abomasnow, and Pyroar to soften up these Frosmoth checks. Also, Frosmoth is quite vulnerable to common Choice Scarf users like Passimian, Mabosstiff, and Medicham even at +1, making defensive checks to them such as Qwilfish, Dachsbun, and Drifblim good to have.

This is good but I feel like the entire entry just talks about Tera. Also not sure about Tera Fire, seems like it has the same coverage as Ground but with more weaknesses. Resisting Medicham BP doesn't seem worth it, I'd rather run Sub with Ghost to setup on Chansey (which you could probably mention)
