The movesets and EVs are designed to maximize damage against common opponents and threats in the Scarlet/Violet metagame.

Say hello to Arboliva, a cool Pokémon that excels with Grass and Normal typing! Arboliva is a common Pokémon to see in the SV metagame. It is weak to Bug, Fighting, Fire, Flying, Ice, and Poison-typed attacks. Explore the movesets below to see how Arboliva performs in battles.
Item: Sitrus Berry / Petaya Berry
Ability: Harvest
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
EVs: 252 Hp / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Moveset:
- Giga Drain
- Weather Ball / Tera Blast
- Strength Sap
- Growth / Sunny Day
For those intense single battles, Arboliva is a prestigious Special Tank. It's primary goal is to absorb special attacks and counter with decent force. The Petaya Berry will raise Arboliva's Sp. Atk by 1 stage when it reaches 1/4 max HP or less and gets consumed. The Sitrus Berry will restore 1/4th of Arboliva's max HP when it reaches below half health and gets consumed. With the Harvest ability, if the last item Arboliva used was a berry then there is a 50% chance to restore it at the end of each turn (or 100% chance during sunny weather). Combining Arboliva's Harvest ability with the Sitrus Berry option will make this a very difficult Pokemon to take down as it will repeatedly recover health.

Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Bug moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fairy/Fighting/Fire/Flying/Ghost.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
Poison moves are bad against Steel.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Arboliva is: Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Grass or Normal ) could also prove favorable.

Arboliva is a spectacular Special Sweeper in single battles. It's meant to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Throat Spray activates when a Pokemon uses a sound-based move (in this case Hyper Voice) and increases Arboliva's special attack stat by 2 stages. With Seed Sower, when Arboliva is hit by an attack the effect of grassy terrain begins.
♦ Leaf Storm is a special STAB-boosted 130-base power Grass-type move (lowers your Arboliva's special attack by 2 stages).
♦ Hyper Voice is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Normal-type move (no additional effect. Hits adjacent foes).
♦ Hyper Beam is a special STAB-boosted 150-base power Normal-type move (Arboliva cannot move next turn).
♦ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Rock-type move).
♦ Earth Power is a special 90-base power Ground-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage).
