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.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
Steel moves are bad against Water/Steel/Electric/Fire.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Cryogonal is: Electric, Water, Fire or Steel

Cryogonal is a decent Special Sweeper in single battles. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Focus Sash helps protect Cryogonal from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Choice Specs will increase the damage of Cryogonal's special moves by 1.5x but will lock you into the first move you pick. With Levitate, Cryogonal is immune to damaging Ground-typed moves (except Thousand Arrows). Levitate also makes Cryogonal unaffected by the effects of Spikes, Arena Trap, Toxic Spikes, Sticky Web, Rototiller or terrain effects. Keep in mind that Ingrain, Gravity, Smack down and the Iron ball item will nullify Levitate's effect.
♦ Frost Breath is a special STAB-boosted 60-base power Ice-type move (always results in a critical hit).
