Terrakion (Japanese:テラキオンTerrakion) is a dual-typeRock/FightingLegendary Pokémon introduced inGeneration V.

While it is not known toevolve into or from any Pokémon, theParadox PokémonIron Boulder is said to be either a future relative of Terrakion or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

Biology

Terrakion is a bovine, quadrupedalPokémon. 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 humped 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 otherSwords of Justice had challenged thehumans in order to protect other Pokémon from losing their homes to humanity'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 inMoor of Icirrus. It is said to possess phenomenal strength and can destroy a castle wall with a single blow. Should a small Pokémon be bullied by anyone or anything, Terrakion will crush them without mercy. As seen inPokémon Horizons: The Series, like otherLegendary Pokémon, Terrakion can be found in the Pokémon paradiseLaqua. As seen in bothPokémon the Series andPokémon Adventures, it can create anenergy blade out of its head. Terrakion lovesTerrakion Treats made bySnacksworth, 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 avillainous organization.

InGeneration V,Sacred Sword was itssignature move.
