Why this set deserves to be on-site:
- Terrakion's worst nightmare, Gliscor (assuming its 252/184/0 impish), takes 79-93% from this set's HP Ice. Assuming it switched into rocks, poison heal is basically nullified. It takes a CC, which does a minimum of 22%. You then fire off an HP Ice. Now, if you do the math, that's (12,5%) + 22% (-12,5%) + 79% = 101%!
- Once Gliscor is gone most teams usually don't have much to take an lo CC coming from Terrakion's beastly attack stat.
- Even with a few less attack EVs, lo CC still does massive damage to anything that doesn't resist it.
- HP Ice will also always OHKO Landorus after sr. (65% chance w/o)
- X-Scissor is obviously for Celebi, that's about it.
- A set with balloon and substitute is possible, forcing Gliscor to use Ice Fang or Facade (provided they don't have Acrobatics) which will not break your sub. HP Ice will not do as much, but it will still be a solid 2HKO (61-71%).
- Now that Excadrill is banned, which was arguably the best Terrakion check, it is much easier for it to sweep.
- Stealth Rocks is needed, for obvious reasons.
- Rotom-W pairs very well with Terrakion, as it can take on a lot the things that still wall you like Jellicent and Slowbro.
- Like I said, Jellicent and Slowbro still pretty much walls this set.
- Terrakion is weak to some common priority, mainly bullet and mach punch. (CB Scizor's BP can easily OHKO) Azuamrill's aqua jet or Lucario's Vacumm Wave, although not so common, also need to mentioned. Again, Rotom-W pairs very well as it resists half (and the most common) of the priorities Terrakion is weak to.
- Anything faster or scarfed and can hit Terrakion super effectively usually won't have trouble checking Terrakion. (Landorus, Politoad, or even opposing Terrakion.
- Reuniclus also does a pretty good job of beating this set. Tyranitar is an excellent partner because he can handle Reuniclus (most of the time), and also set up sand to boost Terrakion's sDef, giving it a little extra bulk.

Any suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated.
And yes, I know I'm pretty much saying all teams have Gliscor, which they obviously dont :P
