Swords Dance Terrakion makes for a very threatening sweeper and wallbreaker in UU, particularly pressuring opposing balance teams. It sets itself apart from other Fighting-types with its high initial power and STAB combination, which allows it to beat common Fighting checks like Togekiss and Moltres. However, its poor defensive typing leaves it exploitable by common moves such as Scizor's Bullet Punch and makes it difficult for Terrakion to switch in. Thus, partners such as Moltres and Hydreigon that can bring Terrakion in safely with U-turn and tank certain hits on its behalf are greatly appreciated. Additionally, Terrakion's wallbreaking capabilities take advantage of the Stealth Rock that it can set up, as well as Spikes support from Klefki, to break through bulkier foes, putting teammates like Mega Sharpedo and Choice Scarf Latias in prime position to clean.

Considering that it's mentioned on the set and would otherwise not exactly be intuitive, perhaps include a line about how it can provide Stealth Rock support if needed, and mention the help that role compression can provide, particularly for Spikes teams, which can otherwise have some difficulty adding a Stealth Rock user if not using Mamoswine.

Pokemon that can weaken or otherwise offensively pressure the fat mons like Hippo that Rockium Z terrakion can't immediately break through at +2 are pretty appreciated, making Pokemon like Starmie and the floaty dragons (again) decent partners.

apart from that, this seems really solid. qc stamp from me

didn't do this part since it's kinda answered through spikes support. slashed fightinium z though.

Swords Dance Terrakion makes for a very threatening sweeper and wallbreaker in UU, greatly pressuring opposing balance teams. (opposing balance teams reads like it /only/ works on balance so i’d remove opposing unless that’s the point you’re trying to make) It sets itself apart from other Fighting-types with its high initial power and STAB combination, which allows it to beat common Fighting checks like Togekiss and Moltres.
