Terrakion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Quick Attack / Substitute
A simple change of Nature from Jolly to Adamant turns Mega Venusaur, which is a safe-switch-in to Terrakion, running away as it fears a OHKO from +2 Stone Edge after Stealth Rock damage. This change also allows Terrakion to blow away it's defensive switch-ins such as Slowbro, Hippowdon, TankChomp, Gliscor and Skarmory, while dealing huge damage to Mega Altaria and Landorus-Therain. However, Adamant nature leaves Terrakion outpaced by max Speed positive nature based 100s (of which there are few as standard base 100s such as Volcarona and Zard-X run 184 Spe, a benchmark which still allows Adamant Terrakion to outspeed them). Quick Attack may be weak but it can also pick off weakened fast threats such as Latios and Mega Alakazam.
