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.
Fairy moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fire.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Ghost moves are bad against Normal.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Gallade is: Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Psychic or Fighting ) could also prove favorable.

Physical Sweeper Gallade (Sharpness)
Gallade is a spectacular Physical Sweeper for single battles. It attempts to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Choice Band will increase the damage of Gallade's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Gallade's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Sharpness, Gallade's slicing moves have their power multiplied by 1.5.
◆ Sacred Sword is a physical STAB-boosted 90-base power Fighting-type move (ignores the target's stat stage changes).
◆ Close Combat is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Gallade's defense and special defense by 1 stage).
◆ Leaf Blade is a physical 90-base power Grass-type move (high critical hit ratio).
◆ Night Slash is a physical 70-base power Dark-type move (high critical hit ratio).
