    I would like to suggest Physically Defensive Poliwrath. Not only it resists both of Terrakion's STABs, but you also get a decent Scizor and rain check in general as well as a decent Tyranitar counter.
    Poliwrath resists Fighting? Neither Water nor Fighting resists Fighting...

    Sorry if I sound rude, but you should test some Pokemons before really bashing it stat-wise.
    Poliwrath isn't a good OU Pokemon, I have tried it myself a few times. Even with Swift Swim on a Rain Dance (NOT Drizzle) team.

    The most effective Terrakion check for me has been Gliscor, so I'm just gonna second the Gliscor recommendation on that one.


    Thanks to Sworn Metalhead at Daedric Design for the awesome banner!

    The most effective Terrakion check atm would be Landorus-T who can simultaneously act as a pivot kinda dude, and takes Terraks +2 Rock Gem boosted Stone Edge. It also meshes a bit better with hail teams that aren't like, hail stall, I guess.

    Okay, so I've made changes to my team, which is now this:

        Spoiler:- Latest Team:


    This team has done better than my previous build, though it still has problem areas. Gliscor was mostly filler as I didn't know what to add for a sixth, but it performed well in most battles. I think I might want a different pokemon to use as a Para-Shuffler. Too many times I have been surprised with a Hidden Power Ice when I attempted to Thunder Wave. I also see myself switching it in when I see a Pokemon on my opponent's team that can setup hazards, even though I have Tentacruel there. Besides Milotic, are there any other suitable Para-Shufflers?

    Also I'm considering using Starmie instead of Tentacruel, though I think 'cruel's defenses are more needed. Hm.....

    Should I go Choice Scarf on Kyurem instead? It seems to be good enough how I have it right now...

    If a different pokemon other than Gliscor can be found I'd like to hear suggestions, it does well but i think I can find something better and more suitable.

    Abomasnow (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Snow Warning
    EVs: 248 HP / 8 SAtk / 252 SDef
    Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
    - Blizzard
    - Leech Seed
    - Substitute
    - Protect

    I would switch the nature to sassy and put wood hammer over sub, i ran it on my last hail team with great success

    Tentacruel (M) @ Black Sludge
    Trait: Liquid Ooze
    EVs: 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 Spd
    Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
    - Scald
    - toxic
    - Blizzard
    - Rapid Spin

    cruel likes toxic, ik giga drain gives you a recovery, but you`ll probably be better off with toxic to kill threats like tyrannitar and politoad as you teem seems a bit dependent on the hail


    Kyurem @ Choice Specs
    Trait: Pressure
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Spd
    Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
    - Blizzard
    - Draco Meteor
    - Earth Power
    - Focus Blast

    I personally never tried speced kyurem, theorymon wise i would say its really good, but his speed is the big let down, so he needs to switch alot. Only advise is if this doesnt work try sub roost

    Dragonite (M) @ Leftovers
    Trait: Multiscale
    EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SDef
    Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
    - Dragon Tail
    - Thunder Wave
    - Substitute
    - Roost

    Para shifter is blah, but i can see how it helps kyurem

    Scizor (F) @ Choice Band
    Trait: Technician
    EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Spd
    Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
    - Bullet Punch
    - U-turn
    - Pursuit
    - Superpower


    Gliscor (F) @ Toxic Orb
    Trait: Poison Heal
    EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spd
    Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
    - Earthquake
    - Swords Dance
    - Ice Fang
    - Protect

    comments in bold

    landorus therian and golurk as 2 good pokemon that can work in gliscors place of walling terrakion
    Landorus i is a big threat as it can OHKO everyone between hp ice, focus blast, and earth power, except dragonite with multiscales still up. Latias is your best option as it also helps with keldeo, but the only one to switch out for him is dragonite, so thats your call
