테라파고스 배틀 레시피

Terapagos is a bulky setup sweeper, with Tera Shell boosting its already great longevity with its high natural bulk. In addition to this, Tera Starstorm becomes a powerful unresisted spread move when Terapagos Terastallizes. Earth Power is ran to allow Terapagos to deal significant damage to Steel-types and Wide Guard users it otherwise would struggle to defeat, notably Zamazenta-C. Leftovers benefits Terapagos's longevity when it does not have a partner to heal it, allowing Tera Shell to be reactivated. Covert Cloak is also a great item, as it prevents Terapagos's Special Attack from being lowered by opposing Snarl and provides the bonus of making it immune to flinch from Fake Out. Clear Amulet is used similarly to Covert Cloak but also prevents Parting Shot lowering Terapagos's Special Attack. Terapagos matches up very well against Calyrex-S, as it is immune to Astral Barrage, and damage from Draining Kiss and Expanding Force can be mitigated by its massive bulk bolstered by Tera Shell, Special Defense boosts from Calm Mind, and partners such as Amoonguss with Rage Powder and Pollen Puff. Teraform Zero disrupts strategies revolving around Miraidon, Groudon and Kyogre's terrain and weather setting abilities. The given EV spread allows Terapagos to survive Collision Course from Koraidon on the physically defensive side and Electro Drift from Choice Specs Miraidon on the specially defensive side with Tera Shell active or while Terastallized. With the bulk the spread provides, Electro Drift becomes a guaranteed 3HKO with Leftovers recovery after Electric Terrain is removed. The Special Attack investment maximizes the value of Terapagos's Calm Mind boosts, the Speed investment lets it outpace 4 Speed investment Rillaboom, and the HP EVs maximize the recovery gained from Leftovers. Rillaboom is a great partner for Terapagos, providing Grassy Terrain recovery and Fake Out to allow it to gain Calm Mind boosts. Incineroar is another great partner, as it can assist Terapagos in defeating Steel- and Ghost-types with Flare Blitz and Knock Off, as well as providing defensive utility through Intimidate, Parting Shot, and Will-O-Wisp on top of Fake Out. Amoonguss supports Terapagos very well, providing HP recovery with Pollen Puff. Its Rage Powder and Spore also allow Terapagos to safely use Calm Mind. Terapagos struggles to defeat Calyrex-I-centred teams, as it is very reliant on a partner Incineroar to reduce the physical damage it takes and deal super effective damage to Calyrex-I. Zamazenta-C can use Wide Guard, preventing Terapagos from dealing damage with Tera Starstorm while Terastallized, and Terapagos is very reliant on Earth Power as well as partners like Incineroar to deal super effective damage to it. As a result, Gholdengo pairs well with Terapagos, since it reliably checks both Calyrex-I and Zamazenta-C with its natural typing. Koraidon can be troublesome, as it can outdamage Terapagos's teammates' recovery while it is setting up with Calm Mind. Taunt Flutter Mane sets cause huge problems for Terapagos, since it cannot damage Flutter Mane significantly if Flutter Mane has not Terastallized, and Terapagos deals little damage without Calm Mind boosts.

Terapagos can be used as a hyper offensive threat with its high Special Attack and powerful spread move, Tera Starstorm. Choice Specs immediately boosts the damage output from Tera Starstorm, allowing Terapagos to pick up early-game KOs, which the more common Calm Mind set cannot. Its natural bulk in addition to Tera Shell allows it to withstand powerful attacks that other hyper offensive threats may not be able to. Terapagos has a very good matchup into the oppressive Calyrex-S with an immunity to Astral Barrage. Teraform Zero disrupts strategies revolving around Miraidon, Groudon and Kyogre's Terrain- and weather-setting abilities. Tera Starstorm is the attack Terapagos will want to use most of the time, but Earth Power and Dark Pulse provide coverage for Steel- and Ghost-types that its partners may not be able to comfortably defeat, like Zamazenta-C and Calyrex-S. Hyper Beam allows Terapagos to pick up KOs around Wide Guard users while Terastallized. Sleep Talk allows Terapagos to continue dealing significant damage even when put to sleep from moves such as Amoonguss's Spore. With a middling Speed stat, Terapagos greatly benefits from Tailwind support, which allows it to outspeed and significantly damage its foes more effectively. Tornadus is the best priority Tailwind setter in the format, so it is naturally a great partner for Choice Specs Terapagos. It also deals super effective damage to Fighting-types that threaten Terapagos like the Urshifu formes. Tornadus can utilize priority Taunt to shut down Wide Guard users, most Trick Room setters, and Spore from opposing Amoonguss. Zamazenta-C is very difficult for Terapagos to defeat because of its natural typing and Wide Guard, so it relies on a partner Chi-Yu to defeat it or cripple its offense with Will-O-Wisp. Chi-Yu easily defeats Steel- and Ghost-types that Terapagos struggles against and provides Beads of Ruin support. Amoonguss provides great redirection support with Rage Powder in the face of threats such as Mienshao and both Urshifu formes, and it can shut down threats with Spore. Pollen Puff benefits Terapagos with healing, reactivating Tera Shell. Flutter Mane can check Koraidon with its natural typing as well as provide Icy Wind and Taunt support. Lunala is tough to break with its high natural bulk and Shadow Shield alongside Wide Guard, but a partner Incineroar can weaken its Special Attack and KO it with Snarl and Knock Off. Ting-Lu's great special bulk thanks to Assault Vest and Vessel of Ruin is very difficult for Terapagos to break through, and it can reduce Terapagos's Special Attack further with Snarl. This makes Urshifu-R a great partner, forcing Ting-Lu to Terastallize to remove its weakness to Urshifu-R's STAB moves while gaining a weakness to Terapagos. Koraidon can survive Tera Starstorm and threaten an OHKO on Terastallized Terapagos in return. A partner Flutter Mane forces Koraidon to Terastallize, making it weak to Terapagos. Pelipper is tough for Terapagos to break due to its access to Wide Guard and immunity to Earth Power, so it appreciates partners such as Raging Bolt to threaten Pelipper.

Set Details Power Herb Terapagos is a hyper offensive threat, firing off Meteor Beam to boost its offense and dealing unresisted damage with Tera Starstorm after Terastallizing. Terapagos has a great matchup against Miraidon and Kyogre, as it is capable of surviving attacks from them thanks to Tera Shell and then removing terrain and weather upon Terastallizing with Teraform Zero. Meteor Beam OHKOs Volcarona, Ogerpon-H, and Chi-Yu and deals significant damage to Calyrex-I and Incineroar, allowing Terapagos to finish them off with Tera Starstorm on the following turn. Earth Power lets Terapagos threaten 2HKOs against Miraidon and Zamazenta-C when at +1. Power Herb Terapagos sets run maximum Speed EVs with a Timid nature to outrun Adamant Urshifu sets. Tera Stellar transforms Tera Starstorm into a spread Stellar-type attack and increases the damage of Meteor Beam and Earth Power, guaranteeing an OHKO on non-Assault Vest Incineroar with Meteor Beam and a 2HKO on Assault Vest Miraidon with Earth Power at +1. Teambuilding Fighting-types are generally problematic for Terapagos. Koraidon and Choice Scarf Urshifu-R outspeed Terapagos and threaten it with Collision Course and Close Combat, respectively. Zamazenta-C and Iron Hands threaten Terapagos with Body Press and Drain Punch while surviving its Earth Power. Ghost-types such as Calyrex-S, Lunala, and Flutter Mane are difficult for Terapagos to damage. They pressure Terapagos to terastallize in order to sufficiently damage them with Tera Starstorm, while they can easily chip away at Terapagos with their Psychic- and Fairy-type attacks. On top of their type advantages, Zamazenta-C and Lunala can disrupt Terapagos further with Wide Guard protecting them and their allies from Tera Starstorm when Terapagos has Terastallized. Damage mitigation by Whimsicott and Grimmsnarl's Light Screen as well as Miraidon and Chi-Yu's Snarl severely weakens Terapagos's damage output. Amoonguss can be annoying since it can comfortably withstand attacks from Terapagos, redirect its attacks, and put it to sleep with Spore. Terapagos is often paired with Choice Scarf Miraidon. Miraidon deals solid damage with Electro Drift and Draco Meteor to bulky foes like Zamazenta-C and Lunala, softening them up for Terapagos to finish off with Tera Starstorm. Miraidon additionally supports Terapagos by threatening Koraidon and Urshifu-R with its STAB moves. Miraidon's Electric Terrain is also handy for preventing Amoonguss from slowing down Terapagos's offensive pressure with Spore. Miraidon's Snarl can threaten Calyrex-S and Lunala while hindering their damage output. Incineroar works well with Terapagos, reducing the damage of the Fighting-type threats like the Urshifu formes and Iron Hands with Intimidate as well as threatening Ghost-types like Calyrex-S and Lunala with Knock Off, forcing them to Terastallize; afterwards,Terapagos can threaten them with Tera Starstorm. Amoonguss comfortably takes Fighting-type attacks and redirects them away from Terapagos. It also disrupts these foes with Spore and can heal Terapagos with Pollen Puff, allowing it to regain Tera Shell if it hasn't Terastallized. Volcarona can also be found on teams with Power Herb Terapagos, where it is often used as a setup sweeper rather than redirection support. Volcarona can resist attacks from Zamazenta-C and can threaten it with Fiery Dance alongside Amoonguss.

Set Details With its good natural bulk, a good matchup against Calyrex-S and Lunala thanks to being immune to their Ghost-type attacks, and Tera Shell, Terapagos can find many opportunities to get on the field and start setting up with Calm Mind. Terapagos can also disrupt and hinder Pokemon and strategies featuring weather and Terrain, making it have a good matchup against Miraidon while also disturbing Koraidon, Groudon, and Kyogre. Earth Power gives Terapagos a reliable way to hit Zamazenta-C and Incineroar, and it's also a way to get around Wide Guard against Zamazenta-C and Lunala. Leftovers increases Terapagos's longevity further and can reactivate Tera Shell, especially when paired with Grassy Terrain from Rillaboom, while Covert Cloak can prevent Fake Out flinches and Special Attack drops from Miraidon, Chi-Yu and Raging Bolt's Snarl and Spirit Break from Grimmsnarl. The EV spread alongside a Bold nature helps Terapagos live a Close Combat from Life Orb Koraidon and +1 Body Press from Zamazenta-C after Terastallizing, and the Speed investment helps Terapagos outrun Calyrex-S after being paralyzed. The investment in HP optimizes the recovery of Leftovers and Grassy Terrain. The investment in Speed on the second spread allows Terapagos to outrun faster versions of Incineroar, and with a Modest nature, Terapagos can hit Zamazenta-C, Miraidon, and Incineroar much harder with Earth Power after Terastallizing with a Calm Mind boost, though it does lose the ability to not reliably survive Life Orb Koraidon's Close Combat after Terastallizing. Teambuilding Terapagos can struggle against teams featuring Zamazenta-C, as it resists base Terapagos's Tera Starstorm, can use Wide Guard to protect its teammates from Terapagos-S's Tera Starstorm, and threatens super effective damage with Body Press. Koraidon also has the ability to completely remove or inflict massive damage onto Terapagos and force it to Terastallize in order to remove Koraidon's sun. Other Fighting-types such as Iron Hands and both Urshifu formes can also do well against Terapagos, hitting it hard with Drain Punch and Close Combat, respectively. Taunt and Encore from the likes of Flutter Mane, Tornadus, Whimsicott, and Calyrex-S can prevent Terapagos from setting up with Calm Mind and shut it down. Snarl from Miraidon, Raging Bolt, and Chi-Yu and Spirit Break from Grimmsnarl can repeatedly negate Calm Mind boosts, which can slow down non-Covert Cloak Terapagos. Grimmsnarl can also use Light Screen to reduce Terapagos's damage output even further. Spore from Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet can also slow down Terapagos's progress. Calm Mind Terapagos relies heavily on its teammates support to help it sweep because of Calm Mind's slow nature and Terapagos's generally low damage output without Calm Mind, and without its support Terapagos can fall behind when it comes to Speed and power. Calyrex-S can use Disable to stop Fighting-type moves from Koraidon and Zamazenta-C that threaten Terapagos and Wide Guard from the likes of Zamazenta-C and Lunala, making the aforementioned checks more managable for Terapagos. It can also use Encore to lock Pokemon into moves like Fake Out, Taunt, Encore, Wide Guard, and Grimmsnarl's Light Screen or a disabled move, rendering them useless. Incineroar and Rillaboom can provide Fake Out support alongside pivoting moves such as Parting Shot and U-turn; Incineroar also has Intimidate and Will-O-Wisp to weaken physical threats like Koraidon and Iron Hands, while Rillaboom sets Grassy Terrain, increasing Terapagos's longevity further. Amoonguss and Ogerpon-C provide redirection in Rage Powder and Follow Me, respectively, keeping Terapagos safe. Amoonguss is an annoyance for the likes of Zamazenta-C, Urshifu-R, and Iron Hands by resisting their Fighting-type STAB moves while also taking Zamazenta-C's Heavy Slam and Behemoth Bash comfortably. Amoonguss can also heal Terapagos and restore Tera Shell with Pollen Puff. Ogerpon-C can redirect Spore from the likes of Amoonguss and Brute Bonnet, which Terapagos would normally struggle against, while threatening Urshifu-R with Power Whip. Flutter Mane can use Thunder Wave to allow Terapagos to outspeed common threats such as Calyrex-S, Zamazenta-C, and Koraidon. Flutter Mane can also threaten Koraidon, Iron Hands, and both Urshifu formes with Moonblast. Taunt can prevent Wide Guard, foes' Taunt, and Encore from being used.

Choice Specs Terapagos leverages its incredibly powerful Normal-type STAB option in Tera Starstorm, a good Special Attack stat, and a plethora of coverage moves to become a fearsome wallbreaker on Normal teams. Tera Starstorm seriously damages neutral targets, OHKOing Galarian Weezing and 2HKOing physically defensive Toxapex and bulky Gouging Fire variants. Ice Beam wrecks Flying- and Ground-types like Gliscor, Dragonite, and Landorus-T. Earth Power hits Steel- and Rock-types like Archaludon and Garganacl, while Flamethrower hits Steel-types that don't fear Earth Power like Air Balloon Gholdengo and Corviknight. Tera Shell allows Terapagos to greatly increase its bulk while at full health, letting it come in on strong attacks and return the favor. It also enables it to revenge kill threats like Choice Scarf Urshifu-R and Choice Specs Iron Valiant. Ursaluna-B is a great teammate for Terapagos, as they each break through what the other cannot. Both possess incredibly strong Normal-type STAB moves, and Ursaluna-B scares off Steel-types like Heatran and Gholdengo for Terapagos. In return, Terapagos hits the Grass- and Flying-types that Ursaluna-B struggles with, such as Rillaboom, Hydrapple, and Gliscor. Hisuian Zoroark is another great partner, as it provides a very handy Fighting immunity to take on threats like Body Press Archaludon and Choice Specs Kommo-o. In return, Terapagos can break through bulky answers to Hisuian Zoroark like Toxapex and Alolan Muk with its sheer power. Blissey provides Stealth Rock support and is a great special sponge for threatening special attacks like Flutter Mane's Moonblast. It can also use Thunder Wave to slow down opposing threats like Choice Specs Dragapult and Choice Specs Greninja for Terapagos to blast them with Tera Starstorm and Ice Beam while easing the burden of prediction for Terapagos by switching in on special threats like the aforementioned Greninja as well as Latios if Terapagos gets a prediction incorrect. Braviary can remove entry hazards for Terapagos with Defog, ensuring that Tera Shell stays active while being able to switch into and handle threats like Sneasler and Meowscarada for Terapagos. It can also bring Terapagos in safely with U-turn. Choice Scarf Indeedee helps massively in the Fighting and Poison matchups, hitting threats like Zamazenta, Iron Hands, and Clodsire hard to pave the way for Terapagos to break. Indeedee also provides Healing Wish support for Terapagos and blocks revenge killing attempts from Mach Punch Breloom and Sucker Punch Bisharp with Psychic Terrain. Ditto is an excellent reverse sweeper, surprising opponents trying to set up after forcing Terapagos out like Swords Dance Breloom and Dragon Dance Dragapult. Porygon2 can deal major damage to major threats like Gouging Fire and Scizor with Foul Play, letting Terapagos break them down with repeated assaults. It also functions as a blanket switch-in to many threatening attackers like Gholdengo if Terapagos mispredicts, making Terapagos's coverage moves much easier to click without fear of mispredicting. Cincinno is a scary physical sweeper and hazard remover with Tidy Up complemented by its colorful coverage, hitting Rock-types with Bullet Seed, Flying-types with Triple Axel and Rock Blast, and Fire-types with Rock Blast.

Terapagos acts as a great form of entry hazard removal due to its ability to immediately threaten and outspeed most entry hazard setters like Gliscor, Skarmory, Forretress, and Great Tusk. Tera Starstorm removes weakened threats like Keldeo and Ogerpon-W and OHKOes Iron Valiant. Flamethrower roasts Steel-types, especially Gholdengo, which can come into Terapagos to spinblock it. Ice Beam OHKOes Landorus and Gliscor after Stealth Rock damage, allowing Terapagos to exert pressure against Flying teams. Heavy-Duty Boots lets Terapagos retain its ability in spite of entry hazards, letting it be a one-time check to threats like Hisuian Lilligant, Ursaluna-B, and Zamazenta. A Modest nature is preferred to hit as hard as possible, as it already outspeeds most relevant entry hazard setters without a Speed-boosting nature. It's vital for Terapagos to have teammates that can that can wall strong attackers, meaning Terapagos does not have to give up its ability to emergency check a foe using Tera Shell. Blissey and Braviary fulfill these roles, with Blissey dealing with special attackers like Raging Bolt, Latios, and Flutter Mane, and Braviary dealing with strong physical attackers like Sneasler and Hisuian Samurott. Blissey also provides Stealth Rock and Healing Wish to support Terapagos, and Braviary appreciates Terapagos taking Braviary's job of removing entry hazards, as it lets Braviary run Close Combat for Bisharp. Ursaluna loves Terapagos's ability to take down Corviknight and Gliscor and break Gholdengo's Air Balloon. In return, Ursaluna deals with Steel- and Poison-types like Archaludon, Heatran, and Toxapex. Hisuian Zoroark provides a Fighting immunity and deals with Keldeo and Archaludon. Furthermore, Hisuian Zoroark can disguse itself as Terapagos, forcing out foes that cannot break its Tera Shell and survive an attack, which brings in walls like Iron Hands and Hisuian Goodra that Hisuian Zoroark can inconvenience with Will-O-Wisp or Trick. Porygon2 is a defensive wall that can be run alongside Terapagos to further improve the Flying and Dragon matchup, and it has Foul Play to deal with Ceruledge and Choice Band Excadrill. Ditto is able to check threats like Gouging Fire and Ceruledge that Terapagos does not have coverage for.

Acting as a top-tier entry hazard remover with its unique ability and vast movepool, Terapagos is a solid addition to many teams that appreciate its perks. Ice Beam can be used in order to OHKO Landorus-T, Gliscor, and Garchomp, as well as significantly damaging Raging Bolt. Calm Mind allows Terapagos to become very threatening and hard to take down, 2HKOing Moltres, Mega Charizard Y, and Toxapex with Tera Starstorm after a boost. The Special Defense raise allows Terapagos to use its bulk to challenge foes such as Tapu Lele and Gholdengo that can otherwise OHKO Terapagos lacking Tera Shell by using Fightinium Z. Flamethrower smacks Air Balloon Gholdengo as well as hits Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor for crippling damage. Earth Power allows Terapagos to nail Heatran and Glimmora while also hitting Mega Tyranitar for chip damage. Rapid Spin lets Terapagos assist its team with hazard removal while boosting Speed to allow it to threaten faster Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Mega Lopunny, and Zamazenta, setting it up for a potential sweep when used in conjunction with Calm Mind. Heavy-Duty Boots is vital in allowing Terapagos to keep its ability in the face of hazards, which can be useful for guaranteeing a Rapid Spin or stopping a potential sweep, such as one from Dragonite if packing Ice Beam. Terapagos fits on bulky offense and balance teams that appreciate its reliability in entry hazard removal, benefitting Pokemon such as Mega Charizard Y and Volcarona lacking Heavy-Duty Boots. Terapagos's Normal typing allows it to switch into Ghost-type moves, which is vital in being a stopgap against Pokemon such as Gholdengo. Due to Terapagos's below average Speed and reliance on its ability, a defensive backbone is much appreciated with Pokemon such as Gholdengo and Zapdos, which can cover for Terapagos's Fighting weakness. Alomomola is a great teammate that can provide Wish passing, which is extremely valuable, as it allows Terapagos to regain Tera Shell if it has lost health beforehand.

An exclusive ability, powerful STAB Tera Starstorm, and access to a wide variety of coverage moves make Terapagos stand out as an incredible asset for Normal teams. By virtue of Tera Shell, full health Terapagos can check threats of the caliber of Mega Scizor, Iron Valiant, and Sneasler by taking a hit and dispatching them with the appropriate move afterwards. The combination of Flamethrower and Earth Power nails the Steel- and Rock-types resistant to Tera Starstorm such as Corviknight, Archaludon, and Mega Diancie. They also turn Terapagos into a notorious threat to Steel teams. Alternatively, Ice Beam OHKOes all Gliscor variants and targets important Dragon-, Flying-, and Ground-types like Dragonite, Zapdos, and both Landorus formes. Terapagos's offensive prowess allows it to have a good matchup against Gholdengo and some of the metagame's best entry hazard setters like Skarmory, Gliscor, and Hippowdon, thus making it an excellent user of Rapid Spin. The move also boosts Terapagos's Speed, letting it act as a revenge killer or sweep weakened teams late-game. The given EV spread maximizes Terapagos's power while letting it outrun Adamant Dragonite and Mamoswine, as well as Tapu Koko after a Rapid Spin. Physical wallbreakers like Mega Lopunny and Ursaluna are must-have partners, as they smash through the specially bulky Pokemon that trouble Terapagos such as Alolan Muk and Ting-Lu. Mega Pidgeot greatly appreciates Terapagos's hazard removal and, in turn, takes pressure off of Terapagos by revenge killing Fighting-types like Mega Gallade and Keldeo. Blissey and Porygon2 are sturdy walls that can soak most attacks thrown at Terapagos once Tera Shell is not active and they're able to bring it onto the field safely via Teleport. In particular, Blissey also lays down Stealth Rock and may replenish Terapagos's Tera Shell by using Wish to get it back at full health.

Terapagos's offensive power may seem underwhelming compared to most Restricted Pokemon, but Tera Starstorm hitting every Pokemon neutrally in its Stellar forme makes it a strong and easy-to-use Choice Specs threat! Dark Pulse: Dark Pulse is Terapagos's best attack against Calyrex-S, making it especially important when Terapagos is not Terastallized. Power Gem: Power Gem hits Ho-Oh and Tera Fire Koraidon without needing to Terastallize. Dazzling Gleam versus Ice Beam: Dazzling Gleam ruins Koraidon that don't Terastallize, while Ice Beam does more damage to other Dragon-types, with Dragonite being a big target. Earth Power versus Flamethrower: Earth Power deals huge damage to Tera Fire Koraidon while keeping Tera Shell in play, and it's good coverage against Steel-types like Zacian-C. Flamethrower goes all in against Steel-types, roasting Scizor and Corviknight in particular. Healing Wish / Lunar Dance Support: A Healing Wish or Lunar Dance teammate lets Terapagos go on another Tera Starstorm rampage, pairing well with its superb bulk. Some good users of these include Latias, Cresselia, and Indeedee formes. Other Options Flash Cannon: Flash Cannon is Terapagos's most damaging attack against Flutter Mane, but its coverage is otherwise poor. Tera Types Tera Dependency - Very High: Terapagos needs to Terastallize into Terapagos-S in order to gain perfect coverage and bulk. However, if the flow of the match suggests a different Pokemon should Terastallize, Terapagos still has the useful Tera Shell and good coverage as backup, even if it's rather mediocre without Terastallization. When to Terastallize: Before Terastallization, Tera Starstorm is actually more powerful, and the superb Tera Shell lets Terapagos revenge kill a wide variety of weakened Pokemon. Terastallizing before Terapagos has taken damage is often not advised, but it makes sense if predicting your opponent is difficult. EV Spreads 196 HP / 252 SpA / 60 Spe with Modest: This spread lets Terapagos outspeed the extremely powerful Jolly Ursaluna, which can OHKO it through Tera Shell with boosted Facade. 236 HP / 68 Def / 204 SpA with Modest: This spread lets Terapagos survive Adamant Koraidon's Collision Course after it Terastallizes to get rid of the sunny weather. 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe with Timid: Maximizing Speed allows Terapagos to outspeed Adamant Urshifu formes, which otherwise revenge kill Terapagos-S.

With an incredible ability to resist any attack at full HP and the completely unresisted Tera Starstorm after Terastallization, Terapagos is one of the most terrifying bulky sweepers in the game! Rock Polish: Rock Polish ensures that Terapagos outspeeds most of the metagame, with only extremely fast Speed-boosted Pokemon such as Koraidon, Miraidon, Calyrex-S, and Flutter Mane outspeeding it. Protect: Protect pairs excellently with Leftovers and Toxic Spikes support to whittle down foes and give Terapagos an even longer lifespan. Earth Power versus Flamethrower: Using a coverage move over Protect doesn't make Terapagos as long-lasting, but it makes Terapagos less of a liability if a different Pokemon needs to Terastallize in a given match. Earth Power ruins Glimmora and does big damage to Miraidon and Zacian-C, while Flamethrower still hits Zacian-C and roasts the irritating Knock Off Scizor. Leftovers: Besides benefitting Terapagos's impressive bulk, getting any chance to gain Tera Shell's effect back is devastating enough to seriously consider Leftovers. Other Options Rest and Chesto Berry: When Rest and Chesto Berry are combined, Terapagos has an easy way to gain Tera Shell's protection back! However, this combination won't work nearly as well with Toxic Spikes as Protect does and is very vulnerable to Knock Off. Dark Pulse: Dark Pulse nails Calyrex-S regardless of whether or not Terapagos is Terastallized, though the great coverage isn't all that useful after Terastallization. Rapid Spin and an Attack IV of 31: Terapagos is great at removing entry hazards with Rapid Spin, especially since most foes won't expect it, plus Terapagos can still boost its Speed even if it's Taunted. As a bonus, Rapid Spin breaks Focus Sash on powerful users like Sneasler. However, Terapagos will now need 244 Speed EVs and a Timid nature to outspeed Calyrex-S after a Speed boost. Tera Types Tera Dependency - Almost Required: Terapagos is heavily dependent on Terastallization to transform into the incredibly bulky Terapagos-S. This is especially the case if Tera Starstorm is its only attack, meaning Terastallization is necessary to hit Ghost-types. Terapagos-S: Tera Stellar is the only possible option for Terapagos, but thankfully Terapagos-S's incredible bulk and perfect coverage make Terastallizing worth it. However, Tera Shell is a fantastic ability for enabling setup, and Tera Starstorm actually does more damage to neutral targets when Terapagos is not Terastallized, so it shouldn't be in a rush to Terastallize either. Also, take special note of Teraform Zero; while its not the main selling point of Terapagos-S, clearing Koraidon's sun or Miraidon's Electric Terrain at the correct times can have a huge impact on the match! EV Spreads 172 HP EVs: This HP investment gives Terapagos maximum Leftovers recovery before Terastallizing and minimizes Terapagos-S's damage from entry hazards. It also ensures that +1 Psyshock from Calyrex-S will not 2HKO Terapagos-S after Leftovers recovery. 100 Speed EVs versus 140 Speed EVs: 100 Speed EVs let Terapagos outspeed Jolly Choice Scarf Landorus-T, a common revenge killer. 140 Speed EVs will require losing some power, but they do enable Terapagos to outspeed Jolly Choice Scarf Urshifu formes, which can potentially revenge kill Terapagos-S with Close Combat.
