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.
Bug moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fairy/Fighting/Fire/Flying/Ghost.
Fairy moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fire.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Hoopa-unbound is: Steel, Poison, Fairy, Fighting, Fire, Flying or Ghost
Considering the amount of shared resistances against typings this Pokemon is usually weak to, we also recommend: Steel, Poison or Fire
We strongly suggest: Steel, Poison or Fire
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Psychic or Dark ) could also prove favorable.
