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.

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. With a middling Speed stat, Terapagos greatly benefits from Tailwind support allowing it to outspeed and significantly damage its opponents. Its natural bulk in addition to Tera Shell allows it to out live other hyper offensive threats such as Calyrex-S which Terapagos has a favourable match up against. Teraform Zero provides a niche of clearing weather and terrain upon terastallizing. This disrupts strategies revolving around Miraidon, Groudon, Koraidon and Kyogre's terrain and weather setting abilities. Tera Starstorm is the attack Choice Specs Terapagos will want to use most of the time but there will be situations where that is not the case. Hyper Beam is a strong single target attack allowing Terapagos to pick up KOs around Wide Guard users (tera starstorm before terastallizing does the same without recharge). Sleep Talk is for situations where Terapagos is put to Sleep allowing it to continue dealing significant damage. Earth Power and Dark Pulse are interchangeable coverage moves to damage Steel and Ghost types that Terapagos' partners may not be able to comfortably defeat. The EV Spread maximizes the Special Attack boost gained from Choice Specs and naturally outpaces Modest Gholdengo. (if you don't have a reason for 20hp, 252/252 it is)

Tornadus is one of the best priority Tailwind setters in the format so it is naturally a great partner for Choice Specs Terapagos. Besides priority Tailwind, Tornadus deals super Eeffective damage to Fighting types allowing threatening Terapagos to easily pick up KOs. Tornadus can utilise priority Taunt to shut down most Trick Room setters and Spore from opposing Amoonguss. In some situations, Tornadus can also use Scary Face on Terapagos to assist it while Trick Room is active. Chi-Yu easily defeats both Steel and Ghost types which Terapagos struggles against as well as providing Beads of Ruin support. Amoonguss provides great redirection support with Rage Powder and can shut down threats with Spore, and similarly to the Calm Mind Terapagos set, Pollen Puff benefits Choice Specs Terapagos. Zamazenta-C is very difficult for Choice Specs Terapagos to defeat because of its natural typing and Wide Guard so Terapagos relies on a partner Chi-Yu to defeat it or cripple its offense with Will-O-Wisp. Lunala is tough to break with its high natural bulk and Shadow Shield. It can reduce Terapagos' Special Attack with Snarl alongside preventing Tera Starstorm from dealing damage with Wide Guard. Ting-Lu's natural bulk and Vessel of Ruin is very difficult for Choice Specs Terapagos to break through and Ting-Lu can reduce Terapagos' damage further with Snarl. (maybe mention koraidon or some fighting type as a problem)

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 early-game KOs, which the more common Calm Mind set cannot. With a middling Speed stat, Terapagos greatly benefits from Tailwind support, which allows it to outspeed and significantly damage its foes more effectively. (this whole boldes sentence doesn't really fit here - paragraph 1 is about explaining the set, and paragraph 2 is about teammates. you could make this the first sentence of p2 because it flows well into the torn bit) 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 can be used alternatively as coverage moves to damage 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.

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. Chi-Yu easily defeats Steel- and Ghost-types that Terapagos struggles against as well as 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. 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. (this paragraph mentions chi-yu above, then amoon, then goes back to chi-yu here. it would be good to group chi-yu mentions together for readability) 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 it Pelipper.
