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.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Luxio is: Flying

Flame Orb will burn Luxio at the end of the turn which will activate Luxio's Guts ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. The Shell Bell item option is to help Luxio recover from the recoil damage it may take from Wild Charge. With Guts, if Luxio is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Luxio a sweet boost.
♦ Wild Charge is a physical STAB-boosted 90-base power Electric-type move (has 1/4 recoil).
♦ Spark is a physical STAB-boosted 65-base power Electric-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target).
♦ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Steel-type move).
♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Luxio this turn).
