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.
Ground moves are bad against Flying.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
Psychic moves are bad against Dark.
Water moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Grass.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Clodsire is: Water
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Poison or Ground ) could also prove helpful.
