PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Smack Down should be paired with Rock Slide to make Terrakion a very potent Rock Type attacker
  • Sacred Sword is an excellent move, but Terrakion's lack of Fighting fast move severely dampens its potential.
  • Smack Down can be paired with Sacred Sword to pin down a select few bosses weak to both moves, giving Terrakion a top-tier DPS in these rare scenarios.
  • Zen Headbutt is not worth considering.
  • Close Combat and Earthquake serve no purpose on Terrakion and waste its potential.

PVE Overview

Terrakion was long looked to as the potential future king of both Rock and Fighting-types. It had the potential to be a very large force in the meta that could re-shape numerous matchups moving forward and take the game by storm. But then Rampardos was given a shockingly outstanding moveset and Terrakion itself wasn't given the Fighting-type moves that it needed to surpass the Fighting-type king.

In terms of actual performance, Terrakion's is a decent choice for a Rock-type attacker, although it often finds itself outclassed. It has DPS that's substantially lower than Rampardos, similar to Rock Wrecker Rampardos, but with far lower TDO. Its one advantage in this regard is that it does not have any double weaknesses.

Worth noting is the fact that Sacred Sword, the Fighting-type signature move of the Swords of Justice, is out now. However, this won't be enough to make Terrakion good in this role as Terrakion also lacks a strong Fighting Type fast move. However, in the rare instances that a boss is weak to both Smack Down and Sacred Sword, Terrakion's DPS is very high, which at least gives Terrakion a raiding niche.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Smack Down + Rock Slide and Sacred Sword*

Smack Down is the superior fast move, with significantly more damage output with STAB, and better energy generation. Zen Headbutt is horrendous.

Sacred Sword is a cheap and highly efficient attack, making up for Smack Down's low energy gain. Rock Slide is necessary for its coverage,and sports a high 1.667 DPE (Damage Per Energy) backed by STAB. Close Combat has a greater damage potential than Sacred Sword, but is difficult to use reliably due to Terrakion's frailty and Smack Down's low energy gain. Earthquake is very expensive and generally does not offer Terrakion meaningful coverage.

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: N/A

Currently Terrakion can only be obtained from raids, which means its high CP makes it impossible for Terrakion to compete in Great League. Maybe in the future Terrakion will be featured in Research Breakthrough. 

Ultra League: 0 / 5

Terrakion is an offensive Pokemon in PvP, with a relatively high ATK stat, plus wide and powerful coverage as a Rock/Fighting type. Unfortunately those perks are also Terrakion's biggest liabilities, as Terrakion has poor bulk and also has to deal with 7 weaknesses. While its Fighting-type coverage and typing is quite valuable against Dark-type Pokemon in this league, this niche is about the only thing Terrakion has going for it. Advantages against Lapras and Steel-types are counteracted by weaknesses against those Pokemon as well, which puts Terrakion in a difficult spot since it doesn't have the bulk or high energy gains to keep up. 

Master League: 1 / 5

Terrakion boasts a high 3698 CP which is largely due to its ATK. Unfortunately its 7 weaknesses do it no justice in Master League, with numerous losses from Pokemon that are meta-relevant in this league. The addition of Sacred Sword allows Terrakion to more reliably utilize its Fighting side and allow its strong dual STAB combination to shine, but Terrakion's long list of issues still makes it nothing more than a draft pick.
