With a high Attack stat and good Speed tier, Terrakion finds itself a role on Fighting teams as a powerful revenge killer holding Choice Scarf, which can also help it sweep teams late-game. Terrakion is adept at revenge killing threats such as Zeraora, Noivern, and Choice Scarf users such as Charizard and Gardevoir. Close Combat is essential and allows Terrakion to threaten Pokemon such as Kyurem-B and Excadrill. Stone Edge hits Flying-type Pokemon such as Togekiss, Mandibuzz, and Charizard. Megahorn deals massive damage to Psychic-types such as Celebi, Mew, and Indeedee. Iron Head is able to hit Fairy-types such as Mimikyu, Clefable, and Hatterene hard without having to rely on Stone Edge's accuracy. Lastly, Earthquake hits Pokemon such as Zeraora, Aegislash, and Jirachi.

Stealth Rock setters such as Cobalion and Kommo-o aid Terrakion in cleaning late-game, wearing down the opposing team. In particular, Stealth Rock is useful for allowing Terrakion to OHKO Zeraora with Earthquake reliably in addition to breaking Focus Sashes held by Pokemon such as Polteageist, Cloyster, Dugtrio, and Barbaracle. Steel-types such as Cobalion and Lucario can defeat Fairy-type Pokemon such as Clefable, Hatterene, and Galarian Weezing, which Terrakion struggles to OHKO. Keldeo and Cobalion can Taunt passive Pokemon such as Araquanid and Galvantula and deny them from setting Sticky Web, which hinders Terrakion. Keldeo can also remove threats such as Toxapex and Galarian Corsola with the conjunction of Taunt + Calm Mind in addition to threatening Ground-type Pokemon like Hippowdon, which Terrakion appreciates. Conkeldurr can absorb status from Pokemon such as Sableye and Galarian Corsola, as well as providing Knock Off support versus Pokemon such as Galarian Corsola and Toxapex. Hawlucha is able to sweep Grass teams, which is a matchup Terrakion can struggle to be useful in. Furthermore, Terrakion can take out faster threats for Hawlucha prior to Unburden activation such as Noivern, Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan, and Indeedee. Once Unburden is activated, Hawlucha can outspeed Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Gengar and Sand Rush Excadrill, which both threaten Terrakion.

Sorry for the inconvenience Splash but could you do this set over Choice Band?

[SET]
name: Swords Dance
move 1: Swords Dance
move 2: Close Combat
move 3: Stone Edge
move 4: Rock Polish / Earthquake
item: Lum Berry
ability: Justified
nature: Jolly
evs: 252 Atk 4 SpD 252 Spe

Swords Dance is better for a wallbreaking set than Choice Band because you can swap between moves and even boost speed with Rock Polish in certain scenarios. Please mention Focus Sash in the set comments too. Thanks in advance!

Pay more attention to your formatting please. Iron Head is good for hitting Fairy-type Pokemon like Gardevoir and Mimikyu without having to rely on Stone Edge.

"With a high base Attack and good Speed tier, Terrakion finds itself a role on Fighting teams as a powerful revenge killer holding Choice Scarf, which can also sweep teams late-game. "
Can you name some examples of fast threats that Terrakion can revenge kill with Choice Scarf? Naming Pokemon like Zeraora, Choice Scarf Charizard, Noivern, and Choice Scarf Gardevoir is fine here.

Reflect Iron Head here and talk about being a reliable option to hit Fairy-type Pokemon. Aegislash > Toxapex as an Earthquake example too, it still bounces off of Toxapex.

What does the EV spread allow Terrakion to outspeed as a revenge killer? If you're going to name the EV spread in a mini, you should say why it's significant.

"Stealth Rock setters such as Cobalion and Kommo-o is Terrakion in cleaning late-game as the opposing team is worn down."
If you're going to call out Stealth Rock then name examples of KOs you can get with them, etc. OHKOing Zeraora is something that Stealth Rock is good for, as well as breaking Focus Sash users like Dugtrio, Polteageist and Cloyster.

Put more stress on the Taunt users and why they're good for Terrakion. Denying hazards is huge, capitalize on Sticky Web users because those are the hazards Terrakion typically hates as a revenge killer.

Remove Scrafty, it's not good.

It's particularly important to talk about how Terrakion is great for beating Pokemon like Noivern, Choice Scarf Indeedee and Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan before Hawlucha is set up. After Hawlucha activates Unburden, it can outspeed Pokemon that Terrakion can't like Choice Scarf Gengar and Excadrill under sand

Splash Implement this and tag me again so I can give another look.

“Iron Head is able to hit Fairy-types such as Mimikyu, Clefable, and Hatterene.”
Say how it can hit them without relying on Stone Edge’s accuracy.

Steel-types such as Cobalion or Lucario can defeat Fairy-types such as Clefable, Hatterene, or Galarian Weezing, which Terrakion struggles to break OHKO.
Terrakion can break a lot of them with Iron Head, it’s just an issue when it can’t OHKO.

“Stealth Rock setters such as Cobalion and Kommo-o aids Terrakion in cleaning late-game as the opposing team is worn down, and is particularly useful for allowing Terrakion to OHKO Zeraora with Earthquake reliably in addition to breaking Focus Sashes held by Pokemon such as Polteageist, Cloyster, Dugtrio, and Barbaracle.”

“Keldeo and Cobalion can Taunt passive Pokemon such as Toxapex, Galarian Corsola, and Galvantula denying them from setting hazards mainly Sticky Web which hinders Terrakion.”
Just focus on the Sticky Web setters since that’s the main type of hazard Terrakion needs to worry about as a revenge killer. Add in Araquanid too.

“Keldeo can also remove threats such as Hippowdon with its Water-type moves.”
Would reword this to say how Keldeo can beat Pokemon like Galarian Corsola and Toxapex with Calm Mind and Taunt as well as beating Ground-type Pokemon like Hippowdon and Rhyperior with its Water-type STAB moves.
