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.
Dark moves are bad against Fairy/Fighting/Dark.
Ghost moves are bad against Normal.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Greavard is: Fairy, Fighting, Dark or Normal

Greavard is a wonderful Physical Sweeper for single battles. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Greavard'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 Greavard recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Pickup, if Greavard has no item it finds one used by an adjacent pokemon this turn. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction.
◆ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Greavard is burn/poison/paralyzed).
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Water-type move).
◆ Psychic Fangs is a physical 85-base power Psychic-type move (destroys screens, unless the target is immune).
◆ Play Rough is a physical 90-base power Fairy-type move (10% chance to lower the target's attack by 1 stage).
