Terrakion
RockFighting
Best attacking moveset: Double Kick and Sacred Sword, worth 16.2 damage per second against a neutral target.
Best moveset
Terrakion can learn 12 combinations. Double Kick with Sacred Sword does the most damage per second of them, at level 40 with a perfect attack stat. Same-type moves get the 1.2× bonus, and the cycle assumes the charged attack fires the moment it has the energy.
That set is legacy. Sacred Sword is only obtainable with an Elite TM or from the event that gave it out, so the Terrakion you catch today cannot learn it. The best set it can learn now is Double Kick and Close Combat, worth 13.6 damage per second.
Stats and moves come straight from the game's own data files. Every number on this page is a raid and gym number, not a PvP one.
