Terrakion (Japanese: テラキオン Terrakion) is a dual-type Rock/Fighting Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon.
Along with Cobalion, Virizion, and Keldeo, Terrakion is a member of the Swords of Justice. In the movie Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice, they are also associated with Kyurem.
The Paradox Pokémon Iron Boulder is said to be a future relative of Terrakion.
Biology
Terrakion is a bovine, quadrupedal Pokémon. It has a black, rounded forehead adorned with two brown, axe-like horns that curve forward. Its face is beige with orange eyes and a short snout. On top of its head are several short spikes. Down its back are two brown ridges that join just past its shoulders. There are two orange protrusions on its shoulders. The bands around its legs are the same color as its face, and it has black hooves underneath these bands. Its striped underside is also beige. It has a short, stubby tail.
According to legend, Terrakion, alongside the other Swords of Justice had challenged the humans in order to protect other Pokémon from losing their homes to the humans's expansion. During the battle, Terrakion shaped the earth and created a passage to escape. The three Swords distrust humans because of a war that resulted in a forest fire in Moor of Icirrus. It is said to possess phenomenal strength; it can destroy a castle wall with one blow. Should a small Pokémon be bullied by anyone or anything, Terrakion will crush them without mercy. As seen in Pokémon Horizons: The Series, like other Legendary Pokémon, Terrakion can be found in the Pokémon paradise Laqua. As seen in both the Pokémon the Series and Pokémon Adventures, it can create an energy blade out of its head. Terrakion loves Terrakion Treats made by Snacksworth, who once sat and enjoyed some snacks with it in the past. Iron Boulder shares a resemblance to Terrakion and is believed to be a futuristic Terrakion that was modified by a villainous organization.
In Generation V, Sacred Sword was its signature move.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Terrakion.
- Terrakion is similar to Moltres in three ways: it is a member of a non-mascot Legendary trio, is found in its region's Victory Road in the first games that feature its region, and is found in a different location in all subsequent games.
- Terrakion takes supereffective damage from Grass, Steel, Water, and Fighting; the collective types of the other members of its quartet.
- Terrakion's Attack and Special Attack stats are the reverse of Keldeo's, while their other stats are identical.
- Terrakion, Cobalion, and Virizion were all designed by Takao Unno.[1]
Origin
Terrakion is based on the character of Porthos from the novel The Three Musketeers.[1] Like Porthos, Terrakion is the heaviest, largest, and strongest member of the trio. It also has traits of bighorn sheep and oxen, with the charging behavior of bulls. Like the other members of its trio, its nose resembles that of a sheep, goat, or other hooved animal. Its horns are modeled after axes.[1]
Name origin
Terrakion may be a combination of terra (Latin for earth) or terracotta (a clay-based material, as well as its respective color), takin, and champion.
