UU Terrakion

Terrakion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- Megahorn

Terrakion is a formidable wallbreaker in the UU tier thanks to its insanely high Attack stat and incredible STAB combination. After a Swords Dance boost, even the sturdiest of Fighting-resistant Pokemon such as Amoonguss can be OHKOed by Stone Edge. Close Combat is a very spammable move that allows it to muscle through foes like Skarmory and defensive Kommo-o after a boost. Megahorn provides Terrakion with the necessary coverage to OHKO physically defensive Tangrowth after a Swords Dance boost while improving its ability to break through Slowking. Terrakion is forced out by common revenge killers such as Scizor and Alakazam, so partners like Choice Scarf Victini and Krookodile can offensively pressure them, with the former providing U-turn support to bring it in against foes like Rotom-H and give it easier setup opportunities. Palossand is the best counter to Terrakion, so Pokemon capable of breaking through it like Primarina and Kyurem are appreciated, both of which also being able to pressure Amoonguss and Tangrowth for Terrakion too. Entry hazard setters like Mew and Jirachi can help bring foes like Nidoqueen into range of a boosted Close Combat.

Terrakion is a formidable wallbreaker in the UU tier thanks to its insanely high Attack and incredible STAB combination. After a Swords Dance boost, even the sturdiest of Fighting resists such as Amoonguss can be OHKO'd by Stone Edge. Close Combat is a very spammable move capable of muscling through foes like Skarmory and defensive Kommo-o after a boost. Megahorn provides Terrakion with the necessary coverage to OHKO physically defensive Tangrowth after a Swords Dance boost while improving its ability to break through Slowking. Terrakion is forced out by common revenge killers such as Scizor and Zeraora go w smth like zam or lati since CC wont OHKO rak, so partners like Choice Scarf Victini and Krookodile can offensively pressure them, the former providing U-turn support to give Terrakion set up opportunities against foes like Rotom-H. Albeit rare, Palossand is the best counter to Terrakion, so it appreciates Pokemon like Primarina and Kyurem i think kyurem should b replaced since fitting both rak and it sounds tough but it's prob fine breaking through it, both of which also being able to pressure Amoonguss and Tangrowth for Terrakion too. i'd fit a nidoqueen mention since Terrakion never runs EQ anymore, can prob just squeeze w palo. if you still have room maybe mention rockers that give rak the space to run megahorn
nice work, 1/1
