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.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Happiny is: Ghost

Special Sweeper Happiny (Friend Guard)
Happiny is popular 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 Hyper Voice) and increases Happiny's special attack stat by 2 stages. Life Orb boosts the power of Happiny's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Friend Guard, Happiny's allies receive 3/4 damage from other pokemon's attacks.
♦ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Steel-type move).
♦ Psychic is a special 90-base power Psychic-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage).
♦ Stored Power is a special 20-base power Psychic-type move (+ 20 power for each of your Happiny's stat boosts).
♦ Shadow Ball is a special 80-base power Ghost-type move (20% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage).
