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 Luxray is: Flying

Luxray is pretty popular Physical Sweeper in single battles. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Flame Orb will burn Luxray at the end of the turn which will activate Luxray's Guts ability. Use Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. The Shell Bell item option is to help Luxray recover from the recoil damage it may take from Wild Charge. With Guts, if Luxray is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Psychic Fangs or Play Rough are added to provide additional threat coverage.
♦ Play Rough is a physical 90-base power Fairy-type move (10% chance to lower the target's attack by 1 stage).
♦ 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 Rock-type move).
♦ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Luxray this turn).
