[SET COMMENTS]
* Terrakion's great offensive typing, fairly high Attack stat, and base 108 Speed allows it to outpace and dominate some of the biggest threats in the metagame such as Zapdos, Galarian Moltres, Charizard and Urshifu-S.
Beat Up users such as Dragapult and Whimsicott can also use Terrakion's Justified to boost its Attack to extremely high levels.
* Rock Slide is Terrakion's Rock-type STAB of choice, as it is a fairly consistent spread move with a chance to flinch that threatens opponents such as Galarian Moltres, Zapdos, and Torkoal. Max Rockfall can be used to break momentum of weather-based teams by setting up sand.
* Close Combat : Close Combat deals massive damage to opponents such as Urshifu-S, Glastrier, and Incineroar, but the drop in defenses can put Terrakion in a difficult situation. Using Close Combat is a good way to secure a hit, because Rock Slide can miss and ruin a game. Terrakion can also increase its Attack stat by using Max Knuckle in order to become even more threatening.
* Helping Hand is a great support move, as it gives a boost to Terrakion's teammates when attacking. In general, it helps offensive teammates such as Dragapult, Venusaur, and Torkoal deal with bulkier threats when Terrakion hasn't used Dynamax.
Stomping Tantrum is a coverage option that hits metagame staples like Metagross. It can also be used to boost Special Defense when Dynamaxed.
* White Herb lets Terrakion stay on the field against Intimidate users, such as Incineroar and Landorus-T, it's useful to ignore drops in Terrakion's defenses from Close Combat. It also prevents Terrakion's stats from being lowered by Max Moves such as Max Wyrmwind and Max Phantasm once.
Lum Berry allows Terrakion to shake off a multitude of status inducing attacks such as Dragapult's Will-O-Wisp, Amoonguss's Spore and Venusaur's Sleep Powder.
