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.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
Water moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Grass.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Groudon is: Grass, Dragon, Fire, Steel or Water

Groudon is a legendary Physical Sweeper for single battles. This moveset is designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Drought changes the weather to Intense Sunlight when Groudon is sent out onto the field. This help boosts all fire attacks while the Sunlight remains active. Equipping Heat Rock helps extend sunny weather effects this Pokemon creates from 5 turns to 8 instead. With a Eject Pack equipped to it, if Groudon's stat stages are lowered, it switches to a chosen ally then the Eject Pack gets consumed.
◆ Stomping Tantrum is a physical STAB-boosted 75-base power Ground-type move (power doubles if your Groudon's last move failed).
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Water-type move).
◆ Shadow Claw is a physical 70-base power Ghost-type move (high critical hit ratio).
◆ Hammer Arm is a physical 100-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Groudon's speed by 1 stage).
