Movesets for Singles
What is a good competitive moveset for Arboliva? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Scarlet/Violet Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Scarlet/Violet generation metagame.

Arboliva Special Tank (Sun Team)
Arboliva is a decent Special Tank for single battles. It's goal is to take a hefty amount of hits from special attacks while dealing some decent damage. 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.

♦ Growth is a status move (raises Arboliva's attack and special attack by 1 stage; 2 in sun).
♦ Sunny Day is a status move (for 5 turns, intense sunlight powers fire moves).

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 advantageous.
