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 Growlithe is: Flying, Steel, Fighting, Ground, Water, Dragon or Grass

Special Sweeper Growlithe (Flash Fire)
Growlithe is a phenomenal Special Sweeper in single battles. It was designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Throat Spray activates when a Pokemon uses a sound-based move (in this case Snarl) and boosts Growlithe's special attack stat by 2 stages. With Flash Fire, Growlithe's fire attacks do 1.5x damage if hit by one fire move; fire immunity. Eject Pack is also a great item choice for this set.
♦ Flamethrower is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target).
♦ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Water-type move).
♦ Snarl is a special 55-base power Dark-type move (100% chance to lower the foes special attack by 1 stage).
♦ Morning Sun is a status move (heals your Growlithe by a weather-dependent amount).
