Terrakion is a Rock/Fighting duo-type which leaves the legendary vulnerable to a wise range of counters including the following types: Fighting, Ground, Steel, Water, Grass, and Psychic.
Some solid choices of Pokémon and movesets to take on Terrakion in a raid include:
- Mewtwo with Confusion / Psystrike
- Metagross with Bullet Punch / Meteor Mash
- Machamp with Counter and Dynamic Punch
Even if you don't have these specific powerhouses and still want to battle Terrakion, there are still tons of Pokémon that can deal a good amount of damage, and by taking advantage of weather boosts:
- Raining: Water types (Kyogre, Kingler)
- Sunny: Grass or Ground types (Sceptile, Breloom)
- Cloudy: Fighting or Psychic Types (Espion, Latios, Machamp)
If you are truly looking for the strongest possible Iteration, it should have the moveset Smack Down and Rock Slide.
