So I was tinkering around with LO attackers and Mamoswine, while powerful, was just too slow. So I slapped a Life Orb on Terrakion and holy shit it's amazing.

- A lot of Terrakions are Choiced, so a lot of his checks and counters rely on him being unable to switch moves. This set poops on those Pokemon's dreams.
- Fighting/Rock is Jesus-tier STAB
- HP Ice crushes Landorus-T and Gliscor and heavily damages or KOs weakened Dragonite/Salamence without risking a Stone Edge miss and Garchomp
- Earthquake rounds out coverage, including hitting Toxicroak and Tentacruel, who otherwise wall this set, as well as hitting Jirachi harder than anything else Terrakion has
- Protect helps scouting revenge killers. Is Scizor gonna Bullet Punch or U-turn? Never fret again
- X-Scissor is your strongest option against Psychics, but it only barely edges out Stone Edge in power, and oftentimes the Pokemon that you want to hit with X-Scissor are faster and can OHKO you anyway, which reduces X-Scissor's utility
- Quick Attack can do some stuff, I guess. If Latios or Breloom are super weak (under 30%) it can pick them off before they can react
- Expert Belt makes Terrakion an effective lure, bluffing a Choice item, but you lose a lot of power in the neutral coverage of your STABs
- DD Dragonite and SD Lucario without Ice Punch appreciate Landorus-T and Gliscor being gone
- Jellicent covers Terrakion's priority weakness and covers some of Terrakion's type weaknesses, but should watch out for coverage moves like Flying Gem Acrobatics, Sheer Force Thunder Punch, and Technician Bullet Seed
- Keldeo can't do much against Toxicroak, Jellicent, Celebi, or Tentacruel, the right coverage move (including Stone Edge) on Terrakion help get rid of them
- Without Hidden Power Ice, switch to a Jolly Nature and move the 4 spare EVs to Special Defense.
