Item: White Herb
Ability: Skill Link
Nature: Jolly (+Spe, -SpA)
EVs: 4 Hp / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Moveset:
- Razor Shell / Hydro Pump
- Shell Smash
- Rock Blast
- Icicle Spear
Cloyster thrives as a magnificent Physical Sweeper perfect for single battles. This strategy is built to overwhelm foes with powerful physical attacks. White Herb will reset Cloyster's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Shell Smash). Cloyster's multi-hit attacks will always hit the max times with Skill Link. This boosts the amount of strikes from Rock Blast and Icicle Spear. Cloyster's main set is one that can sweep most teams with ease; in fact, it's a liability to have a bulky Ground-type when your opponent has a Cloyster. This set is best used on an offensive team, where other sweepers can open up holes in defensive cores for Cloyster to take advantage of. Shell Smash is the crux of this set, doubling Cloyster's Attack, Special Attack, and Speed to threatening levels. Icicle Spear is the perfect move for Cloyster; because of Skill Link, it will always hit five times, effectively making it a 125 Base Power STAB move. Rock Blast offers great coverage with Icicle Spear, hitting Fire-, Water-, and Ice-types for at least neutral damage. In the last slot, either Hydro Pump or Razor Shell is acceptable. Hydro Pump is the preferred option for getting past Skarmory, Scizor, Forretress, and Metagross, since it hits their weaker Special Defense; however, Razor Shell will destroy Tyranitar and Heatran without fail, as they both commonly run specially defensive sets.
◆ Hydro Pump is a special STAB-boosted 110-base power Water-type move that deals a phenomenal amount of damage.
◆ Shell Smash is a status move (lowers def, spd by 1 stage; raises atk, spa, spe by 2 stages).
◆ Rock Blast is a physical 25-base power Rock-type move (hits 2-5 times in one turn).
◆ Icicle Spear is a physical STAB-boosted 25-base power Ice-type move (hits 2-5 times in one turn).

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.
Electric moves are bad against Ground.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Cloyster is: Steel or Ground
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Water or Ice ) could also prove advantageous.

Cloyster is a spectacular Special Sweeper in single battles. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. King's Rock grants all attacking moves (that do not already have a chance to flinch) a 10% chance of causing each target to flinch. Life Orb boosts the power of Cloyster's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Skill Link, Cloyster's multi-hit attacks always hit the maximum number of times. Mud Shot was added to provide additional threat coverage.
