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.
Fairy moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fire.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Psychic moves are bad against Dark.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Meloetta-pirouette is: Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Normal or Fighting ) could also prove helpful.

Physical Sweeper Meloetta-Pirouette (Serene Grace)
Meloetta is a legendary Physical Sweeper for single battles. It tries to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. King's Rock grants all attacking moves (that do not already have a chance to flinch) a 10% chance of causing each target to flinch. With Serene Grace, Meloetta's moves have their secondary effect chance doubled. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. With a Eject Pack equipped to it, if Meloetta's stat stages are lowered, it switches to a chosen ally then the Eject Pack gets consumed.
◆ Drain Punch is a physical STAB-boosted 75-base power Fighting-type move (Meloetta recovers 50% of the damage dealt).
◆ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Poison-type move).
◆ Facade is a physical STAB-boosted 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Meloetta is burn/poison/paralyzed).
◆ Giga Impact is a physical STAB-boosted 150-base power Normal-type move (Meloetta cannot move next turn).
◆ Shadow Claw is a physical 70-base power Ghost-type move (high critical hit ratio).
