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.
Electric moves are bad against Ground.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Hoothoot is: Ground or Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Normal or Flying ) could also prove useful.

Special Sweeper Hoothoot (Insomnia)
Hoothoot is a remarkable Special Sweeper for single battles. It attempts 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 raises Hoothoot's special attack stat by 2 stages. Life Orb boosts the power of Hoothoot's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Insomnia, Hoothoot cannot fall asleep. Gaining this ability while asleep cures it.
◆ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Steel-type move).
◆ Air Cutter is a special STAB-boosted 60-base power Flying-type move (high critical hit ratio. Hits adjacent foes).
◆ Air Slash is a special STAB-boosted 75-base power Flying-type move (30% chance to make the target flinch).
◆ Moonblast is a special 95-base power Fairy-type move (30% chance to lower the target's special attack by 1 stage).
