Editor's notes

Terrakion is one of the strongest Fighting attackers only with Sacred Sword, a legacy move; with Close Combat it is good rather than great. Double Kick is the fast move to pair with it.

It also runs a pure Rock set with Smack Down and Rock Slide, which makes it one of the few Pokemon worth building twice. It is a raid-only legendary, so Candy comes from raids, Rare Candy and walking it as a buddy.
