Choice Band Terrakion is one of Rock's best physical wallbreakers thanks to its high Attack, good Speed, and Fighting STAB that allows Rock teams to threaten opposing Steel-types like Skarmory and Heatran. Stone Edge and Close Combat are Terrakion's strongest STAB options, with Close Combat being able to threaten opposing Dark- and Steel-types such as Ting-Lu and Corviknight. Earthquake complements Terrakion's Rock STAB and targets bulky Poison-types like Toxapex while threatening Pokemon that resist both of its STABs like Clodsire and non-Air Balloon Gholdengo. Upper Hand allows Terrakion to handle priority moves that it is weak from Pokemon like Scizor and Breloom, while dealing considerable damage to them. Sacred Sword is also an option as a secondary Fighting STAB option that doesn't have the drawback of dropping Terrakion's defenses while being able to ignore Defense boosting Pokemon like Archaludon. Rock Slide also can be used as a secondary Rock STAB option due to its higher accuracy than Stone Edge and chance of flinching.
Hisuian Arcanine is a good teammate for Terrakion, as both Pokemon work well offensively in dismantling Steel-type teams' defensive cores. Terrakion's Close Combat can OHKO Heatran and Archaludon and Arcanine's Flare Blitz OHKOs Gholdengo and does significant damage to Corviknight and Skarmory. Arcanine's Fire-typing also assists Terrakion as being a switch-in to Scizor's Bullet Punch. Tyranitar offers a Special Defense boost to Terrakion via its ability Sand Stream, allowing Terrakion to tank special attacks its weak to like Enamorus and non Choice Specs Flutter Mane's Moonblast, letting Terrakion OHKO them in return. In conjunction with hazard support in Stealth Rock, Tyranitar's sand and Stealth Rock are able to chip down opposing walls like Pecharunt, who for example is 2HKOd by Earthquake after Stealth Rock and sand damage. Ogerpon-C is an essential teammate in the objective of threatening opposing Water- and Ground-types like Toxapex, Hippowdon and Great Tusk thanks to its Grass-typing. Glimmora offers Spikes support which enable Terrakion to break defensive walls easier like the aforementioned Hippowdown and Great Tusk. Its Poison typing also assists in getting rid of Toxic Spikes, improving Terrakion's longevity. Furthermore, Glimmora's Mortal Spin also helps Terrakion stay healthy throughout the game, allowing it to switch in without the worry of taking damage from Spikes. Diancie's Fairy typing and high bulk support Terrakion in staving off opposing Fighting-types like Iron Valiant, Sneasler and Keldeo. Terrakion appreciates Iron Boulder's Speed tier that threatens Pokemon like Meowscarada, Ogerpon-H, and Choice Scarf Enamorus, which Terrakion is slower than and it is OHKOd by these Pokemon. Iron Boulder also threatens opposing Fighting-types like Sneasler and Keldeo thanks to its Psychic-typing. Choice Scarf Kleavor is able to set up Stealth Rock using Stone Axe that helps Terrakion deal more damage without fear of Magic Bounce and is able to outspeed threats to Terrakion like Chien-Pao. Kleavor's U-turn can also bring in Terrakion safely. Minior offers a Ground immunity thanks to its Flying-typing and it appreciates Terrakion's ability to break through its checks like Toxapex so it is able to set up and sweep in the lategame with Shell Smash.
