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.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
Water moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Grass.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Cyndaquil is: Flying, Steel, Fighting, Ground, Water, Dragon or Grass

Cyndaquil is a decent Physical Sweeper for single battles. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Cyndaquil's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. The Shell Bell item option is to help Cyndaquil recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge, Flare Blitz and Wild Charge. With Flash Fire, Cyndaquil's fire attacks do 1.5x damage if hit by one fire move; fire immunity.
◆ Fire Fang is a physical STAB-boosted 65-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn. 10% chance to flinch).
◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil).
◆ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target).
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Water-type move).
◆ Wild Charge is a physical 90-base power Electric-type move (has 1/4 recoil).
◆ Play Rough is a physical 90-base power Fairy-type move (10% chance to lower the target's attack by 1 stage).
