Relicanth Serves as a Physical Wall that can take Pokémon such as Swampert-Mega, Weavile, Scizor-Mega, and Dragonite, It's Powerful Stab Head Smash takes Down Pokémon like Dragonite Lacking any Coverage move for Relicanth, Putting Swampert-Mega On a Timer with Toxic Even If Swampert Resists Head Smash, Toxic does the Job, Weavile dies to Head Smash easily and It's Stabs tickles Relicanth, Head Smash Can Deal Good Damage and Toxic Puts Pokemon on timer that's not a Steel type, Rest Is for Recovery and Sleep Talk Is for trying to get Head Smash or Toxic, Defense and HP Investment makes It tank Swampert-Mega Earthquake and when Terastallizing Into Dragon Type, Earthquake starts tickling you, And It's Ability Rock Head Means that It doesn't take any Recoil Damage from Head Smash Which Is Great for a Defensive Pokémon using a Recoil Move, It can also Terastallize Into Dragon to Resist Grass Type attacks and Get a Resist to some Attacking types, But If Terastallize Is used On another Mon It Appreciates Pokemon that Resists Grass type attacks and a Special Defense Mon like Mantine, And It's Head Smash Is Devastating, But Just Because of all of those pros are good doesn't mean that It has no Counters, It has a Pathetic 65 Special Defense stat, which Is easily taken Down by Special attacking Pokémon like Dragapult, Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant and Tornadus-Therian, And If you wasted your Tera On something else It becomes Vulnerable to Grass type moves, Water, Rock Is also a Bad Defensive typing, Being weak to Ground, Electric, Grass and Fighting Is not Good, And When Kingambit Switches It sits there like a Nornal Fish because Head Smash doesn't do anything to Kingambit, and Zamazenta eats Relicanth up Like Fried Fish, Lopunny Jump Kicks you and hurts the Fish and Medicham-Mega can Ice Punch you when you Terastallize and High-Jump Kicks Relicanth Personally.
