Pokemon #15-Terrakion

Terrakion is a Pokemon that was introduced in Generation 5(Black,White).It is number 145 in the Unova Pokedex and number 639 in the National Pokedex.It is said that this Pokemon came to the defense of Pokemon that had lost their homes in a war among humans.
Terrakion is another good Pokemon of this new Generation.It has the unique typing of Rock and Fighting,decent stats and a pretty big movepool to choose from.Its ability is called Justified,which raises the Attack stat by one stage every time you get hit from a Dark-type move.It comes with 91/90/90 on the defensive side (HP/Def/Sp.Def) and 129/72/108 on the offensive side(Att/Sp.Att/Speed).Its typing is great offensively,giving it two very good STABs(Rock and Fighting).Defensively,Terrakion isn't that good being weak to six deifferent types(Water,Steel,Grass,Psychic,Fighting,Ground),but trust me,Terrakion shouldn't be defensive.Let's take a look at some possible sets.

Choice
-Stone Edge
-Close Combat/Sacred Sword
-Earthquake
-X-Scissor
Iteam:Choice Scarf/Choice Band
Ability:Justified
EVs,Nature:
252 Attack,252 Speed,4 HP
Adamant(+Att,-Sp.Att)/Jolly(+Speed,-Sp.Att)

The most common Terrakion set.If you decide to go with Choice Scarf,run max Attack Adamant and if you decide to go with Choice Band,run max Speed and Jolly nature.Stone Edge is STAB and can hit very hard.Close Combat is your other STAB and is also very strong even without the Choice Band.If you don't want,though the Defense drops from Close Combat,you can go with Sacred Sword which is weaker but can be helpful ignoring the opponent's stat boosts and hitting quite hard.Earthquake is great on every Pokemon with good Attack and Terrakion is one of them.X-Scissor is there to hit some possible Grass types,which like to come in and wall Terrakion.

Swords Dance
-Swords Dance
-Close Combat
-Earthquake
-Stone Edge
Item:Life Orb
Ability:Justified
EVs,Nature:
252 Speed,252 Attack,4 HP
Adamant(+Att,-Sp.Att)/Jolly(+Speed,-Sp.Att)

Another common set.After a Swords Dance Adamant max Attack Terrakion hits nearly 800 Attack,so it's not something to laugh at.Close Combat is great,being STAB and stuff.The Stone Edge and Earthquake combo is always great.Everything that immunes an Earthquake won't immune a Stone Edge and vice versa.
A pretty easy and effective.


Counters
Priority Moves,like Mach Punch,Bullet Punch and Vacum Wave really destroy Terrakion.Skarmory can wall Terrakion for days and easily set up on its face.Reuniclus can also wall it,but it won't really appriciate a rare X-Scissor in the face.Gliscor is without a doubt the best counter,resisting both STABs and being able to easy KO with Earthquake or force it out.Landorus isn't really defensive,but the Choice Scarf set,can easily come in on a Swords Dance and either OHKO with Earthquake or force it out.

Cool Info:No other Pokemon has the same type combination as Terrakion.

Have a nice day.
