Best Locations to Catch Terrakion in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Terrakion Guide
For the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire meta, At 580 BST, Terrakion is built different. We rank it B-Tier. As a Legendary Pokemon, the raw stats back up the reputation. Best used as a sweeper. Close Combat with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, watch for Milotic (Water), Venusaur (Grass), and Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Terrakion. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Ground, Psychic, Steel, and Fairy-type attackers are also a problem. With 7 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.
Justified raises Attack one stage upon taking damage from a dark move. That's the one you want on Terrakion. It's the only ability Terrakion has.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Terrakion fills the sweeper role. It's leaning toward the physical side (base 129 Attack). Base 108 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, run Close Combat, Rock Slide, Quickguard, and Protect on Terrakion. Close Combat is the most common pick at 20% usage. This set covers the sweeper role with a mix of damage and utility.
