PLACE IN THE META: Terrakion might be useful in Pokémon GO. Unlike Cobalion and Virizion, it has a respectable Attack stat for a Legendary Pokémon. While it still has a major (but rectifiable) problem with Fighting-type moves, it might be able to be redeemed as a Rock-type attacker. While it will have stiff competition from Rampardos, Tyranitar, Archeops, and Rhyperior, it could find some room alongside them on the Rock-type throne.
