[SET COMMENTS]
Terapagos is a bulky setup sweeper, with Tera Shell boosting its already great longevity with its high natural bulk. In addition to this, Tera Starstorm becomes a powerful unresisted spread move when Terapagos Terastallizes. Earth Power is ran to allow Terapagos to deal significant damage to Steel-types and Wide Guard users it otherwise would struggle to defeat, notably Zamazenta-C. Leftovers benefits Terapagos's longevity when it does not have a partner to heal it, allowing Tera Shell to be reactivated. Covert Cloak is also a great item, as it prevents Terapagos's Special Attack from being lowered by opposing Snarl and provides the bonus of making it immune to flinch from Fake Out. Clear Amulet is used similarly to Covert Cloak but also prevents Parting Shot lowering Terapagos's Special Attack. Terapagos matches up very well against Calyrex-S, as it is immune to Astral Barrage, and damage from Draining Kiss and Expanding Force can be mitigated by its massive bulk bolstered by Tera Shell, Special Defense boosts from Calm Mind, and partners such as Amoonguss with Rage Powder and Pollen Puff. Teraform Zero disrupts strategies revolving around Miraidon, Groudon and Kyogre's terrain and weather setting abilities. The given EV spread allows Terapagos to survive Collision Course from Koraidon on the physically defensive side and Electro Drift from Choice Specs Miraidon on the specially defensive side with Tera Shell active or while Terastallized. With the bulk the spread provides, Electro Drift becomes a guaranteed 3HKO with Leftovers recovery after Electric Terrain is removed. The Special Attack investment maximizes the value of Terapagos's Calm Mind boosts, the Speed investment lets it outpace 4 Speed investment Rillaboom, and the HP EVs maximize the recovery gained from Leftovers.

Rillaboom is a great partner for Terapagos, providing Grassy Terrain recovery and Fake Out to allow it to gain Calm Mind boosts. Incineroar is another great partner, as it can assist Terapagos in defeating Steel- and Ghost-types with Flare Blitz and Knock Off, as well as providing defensive utility through Intimidate, Parting Shot, and Will-O-Wisp on top of Fake Out. Amoonguss supports Terapagos very well, providing HP recovery with Pollen Puff. Its Rage Powder and Spore also allow Terapagos to safely use Calm Mind. Terapagos struggles to defeat Calyrex-I-centred teams, as it is very reliant on a partner Incineroar to reduce the physical damage it takes and deal super effective damage to Calyrex-I. Zamazenta-C can use Wide Guard, preventing Terapagos from dealing damage with Tera Starstorm while Terastallized, and Terapagos is very reliant on Earth Power as well as partners like Incineroar to deal super effective damage to it. As a result, Gholdengo pairs well with Terapagos, since it reliably checks both Calyrex-I and Zamazenta-C with its natural typing. Koraidon can be troublesome, as it can outdamage Terapagos's teammates' recovery while it is setting up with Calm Mind. Taunt Flutter Mane sets cause huge problems for Terapagos, since it cannot damage Flutter Mane significantly if Flutter Mane has not Terastallized, and Terapagos deals little damage without Calm Mind boosts.

* Terapagos is a bulky set up sweeper relying on longevity to boost its special attack and special defence (confusing wording, it uses calm mind to increase it's special attack and defense and it's longevity allows it to do that) allowing it to eventually turning the tables against opponents with Tera Starstorm after it terastallizes (this is all kinda fluff-ish, you don't really need this). With Tera Shell, Terapagos can easily survive powerful attacks allowing it to set up with Calm Mind. Its partners can provide healing for Terapagos to get another use of Tera Shell (mention in the 2nd paragraph, where you find good partners). Teraform Zero also provides a niche of clearing weather and terrain upon terastallizing. This disrupts strategies revolving around Miraidon, Groudon, Koraidon and Kyogre's terrain and weather setting abilities (these are matchups, mention them later). Covert Cloak is a great item to support Terapagos, it specifically prevents its special attack Special Attack boosts being lowered by opposing Snarl and provides the bonus of being immune to flinching. Clear Amulet is used in a similar manner to Covert Cloak but this prevents its special attack and special defence being lowered by Eerie Impulse and Fake Tears (parting shot my man, parting shot. Eerie impulse is used exlusively by p2 and fake tears by whims, the latter of which isn't even that common). Leftovers simply benefits Terapagos' longevity when it does not have a partner to do so. Terapagos' matches up very well into Calyrex-S as it is immune to Astral Barrage and the damage from Draining Kiss and Expanding Force can be mitigated by Terapagos' massive bulk bolstered by Tera Shell,(phrase it how you want but bulk is important) set up (calm mind spdef boosts might be obvious to you but not others) and partners such as Amoonguss with Pollen Puff.

Tera Starstorm is a single target 120 power Normal type special attack. It has a special interaction where not only does it become Stellar type upon Terapagos terastallizing, it also becomes a spread move. Earth Power is ran to allow Terapagos to deal significant damage to Steel types it otherwise would struggle to defeat such as Zacian-C, Zamazenta-C, Kingambit and Gholdengo. There are some cases where Terapagos will run Substitute. This is because its ability Tera Shell is also applied to the substitute, similarly to how Multiscale interacts with the substitute, making it very hard to remove. Substitute functions best when Terapagos' partners can defeat Pokemon that Terapagos would struggle to defeat with the lack of Earth Power. (Mention that this is paired with healing to reactivate tera shell, otherwise it may be understood as tera shell being available at any health.)

The EV Spread allows Terapagos to survive Collision Course from Koraidon and Close Combat from Choice Band Urshifu on the defensive side and allows Terapagos to survive Electro Drift from Choice Specs Miraidon on the specially defensive side. The special attack Special Attack investment is one stat point above the EV stat bump to create an even number, (GP doesn't like stat bumps, just say it maximizes the value of calm mind boosts) complimenting maximizes the effect of its Calm Mind boosts. The Speed investment simply outpaces little to no speed Speed investment Rillaboom. The HP EVs are also optimised to gain the most recovery from Leftovers.

* Rillaboom is a very good partner for Terapagos providing Grassy Terrain recovery and Fake Out, allowing it to gain Calm Mind boosts. Incineroar is also a very good partner as it can assist Terapagos in defeating Steel types with Flare Blitz as well as providing defensive utility through Intimidate and Will-O-Wisp on top of Fake Out. A less consistent but very good partner in particular for Terapagos is Comfey. Comfey's Floral Healing with boosted priority from Triage provides the best healing for Terapagos and it can run support moves benefiting the other team members such as Taunt, Tailwind and Trick Room. (AMOONGUSS and the scream tail even if you hate it with all your heart)

Terapagos struggles to defeat Calyrex-I centred teams as Terapagos is very reliant on a partner Incineroar to reduce the physical damage Terapagos takes. Taunt Flutter Mane sets causes huge problems for Terapagos as well since it cannot damage Flutter Mane particularly well if Fluttermane has not terastallized and Terapagos does not have any Calm Mind boosts. (merge the first three and last two paragraphs together and mention a bit more than just taunt flutter and caly I imo.)

* (very sorry, I know I put this in the first time but we actually don't need it. My bad) Terapagos is a bulky set up sweeper that is able to use Calm Mind to boost its Special Attack and Special Defence . With Tera Shell transforming all attacks in to resisted hits while Terapagos is at full HP , it can easily survive powerful attacks boosting its longevity in addition to its high natural bulk. Covert Cloak is a great item to support Terapagos, it prevents its Special Attack boosts being lowered by opposing Snarl and provides the bonus of being immune to Fake Out flinching (primary use). Clear Amulet is used in a similar manner to Covert Cloak but this prevents Parting Shot lowering its offensive stats. Leftovers simply benefits Terapagos' longevity when it does not have a partner to do so. Terapagos' matches up very well into Calyrex-S as it is immune to Astral Barrage and the damage from Draining Kiss and Expanding Force can be mitigated by Terapagos' massive bulk bolstered by Tera Shell, Special Defense boosts from Calm Mind and partners such as Amoonguss with Rage Powder and Pollen Puff.

Amoongus supports Terapagos very well providing HP recovery with Pollen Puff and mitigates damage (rage powder and spore don't mitigate damage, you could use a different wording like "Rage powder and spore buy turns for calm mind setup". probably not using those exact words though) taken with Rage Powder,. Spore also allows for Terapagos to safely use Calm Mind. A less consistent but very good partner in particular for Terapagos is Comfey. Comfey's Floral Healing with boosted priority from Triage provides the best healing for Terapagos and it can run support moves benefiting the other team members (they do kinda benefit terapagos though, especially the speed control. Up to you.) such as Taunt, Tailwind and Trick Room. Scream Tail is another less consistent but very potent partner for Terapagos. It is a fast Reflect and Light Screen setter (scream tail doesn't run screens, and no: edinburgh locals do not count as results) and Scream Tail as it can utilise Encore and Disable to disrupt the opponent's move choice allowing Terapagos to set up with Calm Mind.
Terapagos struggles to defeat Calyrex-I centred teams as Terapagos is very reliant on a partner Incineroar to reduce the physical damage Terapagos takes and to deal super effective damage.

Leftovers simply benefits Terapagos' longevity when it does not have a partner to do so, making it easier to reactivate Tera Shell. (Should move Leftovers up over Covert Cloak.)

Earth Power is ran to allow Terapagos to deal significant damage to Steel types it otherwise would struggle to defeat such as Zacian-C, Zamazenta-C, Kingambit and Gholdengo. (The way Terapagos plays its almost always a Stellar-type, getting around Wide Guard and Zamazenta-C which threatens you and can't be slowed down by Incineroar are important, but I can't imagine Zacian or Gholdengo posing much of an issue, Kingambit being 2HKOd by unboosted Earth Power and not doing unreasonable damage to you back should also make it fine.). There are some cases where Terapagos will run Substitute. This is because its ability Tera Shell is also applied to the substitute while at full HP making it very hard to remove. Substitute functions best when Terapagos' partners can help it to recover HP to reactivate Tera Shell and can defeat Pokemon that Terapagos would struggle to defeat with the lack of Earth Power. (See above.) The EV Spread allows Terapagos to survive Collision Course from Koraidon and Close Combat from Choice Band Urshifu on the defensive side and allows Terapagos to survive Electro Drift from Choice Specs Miraidon on the specially defensive side (You either drop or eat this well after Tera/with Tera Shell, consider bringing up how its almost always (guaranteed with Leftovers) a 3HKO once you remove terrain.). The Special Attack investment maximizes the value of its Calm Mind boosts. The Speed investment simply outpaces little to no 4 Speed investment Rillaboom. The HP EVs maximizes the recovery gained from Leftovers.
