[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Close Combat is a strong STAB move that is used against foes like Snorlax and Air Balloon Heatran. Rock Slide is another great STAB move that deals with Volcarona and Thundurus. Earthquake is used for Raikou and non-Air Balloon Heatran and Metagross. Double Kick enables Terrakion to defeat Magnezone, but Terrakion needs to run Adamant for an OHKO. Bulldoze is an option to beat Pressure stall Raikou, while X-Scissor beats non-Choice Scarf Celebi.

EVs
=============
Maximum Speed EVs, with a Jolly nature, make Terrakion able to outspeed Modest Keldeo and non-Timid Raikou.

Usage Tips
=============
Usually, Terrakion should just use its strongest move against the foe. However, against some foes that often use Custap Berry and Endure, like Porygon-Z, avoiding Close Combat may be best so Terrakion doesn't lower its Defense and Special Defense.

[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Fighting Gem turns Terrakion's Close Combat into an extremely powerful move. Substitute plays around Counter users like Crustle and Snorlax. Rock Slide is used against Rock-weak foes like Volcarona and Thundurus. Stone Edge is a stronger, less-accurate option that more reliably beats some bulkier Rock-weak targets, such as Flying Gem Tornadus and bulky Thundurus-T. Close Combat should be used against most neutral foes, like Haxorus and Raikou, and Fighting-weak foes like Heatran, Snorlax, and Tyranitar, as expected. Quick Attack is used to handle Pokemon that often use a Custap Berry, like Haxorus and Porygon-Z.

EVs
=============
Terrakion uses maximum Speed EVs and a Jolly nature to outspeed Modest Keldeo and non-Timid Raikou.

Usage Tips
=============
Terrakion should open with Close Combat or Rock Slide in most matchups, but against Counter users like Crustle and Snorlax, Terrakion needs to use Substitute before attacking.

[SET COMMENTS]

Set Description
=============
Close Combat is a strong STAB move that is used on foes like Snorlax and Air-Balloon Heatran. Stone Edge is another great STAB move that deals with Volcarona and Thundurus not great odds (just over 40%) vs sub thundurus, might be worth putting rock slide on the set with stone edge. not sure if there is a reason to use stone edge over rock slide. Earthquake is used for Raikou and non-Air-Balloon Heatran and Metagross. Zen Headbutt can be used against non-Choice Scarf Keldeo this does less than close combat, which is good rolls vs no bulk keldeo. While Double Kick is an option against Magnezone, but Terrakion needs to be Adamant for an OHKO.

EVs
=============
The EVs are put in max Attack, for maximum damage output, and in Speed. Which, if Jolly, makes Terrakion able to outspeed max Speed Volcarona, fast Keldeo and fast Raikou.

Usage Tips
=============
Usually Terrakion should just use its strongest move against the foe. But against some Custap Berry foes, like Porygon-Z, using another move can be a better choice, so Terrakion doesn't have its Defense and Special Defense lowered.

may be worth mentioning chople snorlax

Set Description
=============
Fighting Gem is used for boosting Close Combat into an extremely powerful move. Substitute can be used to avoid Counter foes like Crustle and Snorlax. Stone Edge is used against foes like Volcarona and Thundurus same thing as the first set, rock slide may be better for accuracy on both. Close Combat is Terrakion's strongest move and it's used against foes like Heatran, Snorlax, and most neutral foes. Quick Attack is used to handle Custap foes, like Haxorus pz too.

EVs
=============
Max Attack is for damage output and max Speed is used to outspeed max Speed Volcarona and fast Keldeo.

Usage Tips
=============
Terrakion will start using Close Combat or Stone Edge most of the time, but against Counter foes like Crustle and Snorlax, Terrakion needs to use Substitute before attacking. It can also use Substitute to have a free turn against slower foes that will usually use a status move can you give an example?.

EVs
=============
The EVs are put in max Attack, for maximum damage output, and in Speed. Which, if Jolly, makes Terrakion able to outspeed max Speed Volcarona, you are never losing to timid rona unless it is specs psychic, which is not exactly relevant fast Keldeo and fast Raikou. I'd probably specify "Modest Keldeo" and "Aura Sphere" or "Rash/Modest" Raikou, or just "neutral-nature" for both, but I suppose that's a matter of preference.

Usage Tips
=============
Usually Terrakion should just use its strongest move against the foe. But against some Custap Berry foes, like Porygon-Z, using another move can be a better choice, so Terrakion doesn't have its Defense and Special Defense lowered.

Usage Tips

(if double kick is usually run with adamant, either adamant should be the primary slash, or double kick should not be the primary slash & bulldoze and/or x-scissor should be mentioned before it. if double kick is usually run with jolly, you should say smth to the effect of "even though jolly double kick doesn't ohko, it's still enough to ...")
