Terrakion is now as ancient as its legend; make way for Iron Boulder! Quark Drive in tandem with Booster Energy makes Iron Boulder the fastest Pokemon in the entire unboosted metagame, even outspeeding other Pokemon at +1 such as Roaring Moon, Iron Moth, and Kyurem. Mighty Cleave along with Earthquake gives Iron Boulder the desired EdgeQuake combo, hitting almost all of the metagame for neutral damage. Close Combat hits Dark-type threats such as Darkrai, Kingambit, and Ting-Lu for super effective damage. Tera Ground allows Iron Boulder to gain STAB on Earthquake, while Tera Fighting gives it STAB on Close Combat, and a much-needed Dark resistance against Kingambit's Sucker Punch and Choice Scarf Darkrai's Dark Pulse. Iron Boulder fits on offensive structures due to its high Speed and Attack, mandating entry hazard control such as Hatterene to circumvent its frality. It also gets countered by Dondozo, which doesn't take super effective damage from any of its attacks and ignores stat boosts with Unaware, so special attackers such as Raging Bolt and Zapdos are good teammates.
