Choice Band Terrakion is one of Rock's best physical wallbreakers thanks to its high Attack, good Speed, and Fighting-type STAB moves, which allow Rock teams to threaten opposing Steel-types like Archaludon and Heatran. Close Combat threatens opposing Dark- and Steel-types such as Ting-Lu, Kingambit, and Corviknight. Earthquake complements Terrakion's Rock-type STAB attacks and targets bulky threats like Toxapex, Clodsire, and non-Air Balloon Gholdengo. Upper Hand allows Terrakion to handle priority moves that it is weak to from Pokemon like Scizor and Breloom while dealing considerable damage to them. Sacred Sword is also an option as a secondary Fighting-type STAB move that doesn't have the drawback of dropping Terrakion's defenses and can ignore Defense boosts from Pokemon like Archaludon. Rock Slide also can be used as a secondary Rock-type 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 OHKOes Gholdengo and does significant damage to Corviknight and Skarmory. Tyranitar offers a Special Defense boost to Terrakion via its ability Sand Stream, allowing it to tank special attacks it is weak to like Enamorus and non-Choice Specs Flutter Mane's Moonblast, letting Terrakion OHKO them in return. In conjunction with entry hazard support in Stealth Rock, Tyranitar's sand is able to chip down opposing walls like Pecharunt, which is 2HKOed by Earthquake after Stealth Rock and sand damage. Terrakion also appreciates Tyranitar's Psychic immunity, which allows it to check threats to Terrakion such as Espathra, Indeedee, and Deoxys-S. Ogerpon-C is an essential teammate, threatening opposing Water- and Ground-types like Toxapex, Hippowdon, and Great Tusk thanks to its Grass typing. Glimmora offers Spikes support, which enables Terrakion to break defensive walls like the aforementioned Hippowdon and Great Tusk more easily. Its Poison typing also assists in getting rid of Toxic Spikes, improving Terrakion's longevity, and its Mortal Spin helps Terrakion stay healthy throughout the game, allowing it to switch in without the worry of taking damage from Spikes. Terrakion appreciates Iron Boulder's Speed tier, which threatens Pokemon like Meowscarada, Ogerpon-H, and Choice Scarf Enamorus that Terrakion is slower than and OHKOed by. 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 without fear of Magic Bounce using Stone Axe, which helps helps Terrakion deal more damage, and it is able to outspeed threats to Terrakion like Flutter Mane. 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 can set up and sweep late-game with Shell Smash.
