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.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
Steel moves are bad against Water/Steel/Electric/Fire.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
Ground moves are bad against Flying.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
Water moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Grass.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Avalugg-hisui is: Ghost, Water, Steel, Electric or Fire
Considering the amount of shared resistances against typings this Pokemon is usually weak to, we also recommend: Grass, Dragon, Flying or Steel
We strongly suggest: Grass, Dragon, Flying or Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Ice or Rock ) could also prove useful.
