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.
Dark moves are bad against Fairy/Fighting/Dark.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Ghost moves are bad against Normal.
Ground moves are bad against Flying.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Metang is: Fairy, Fighting, Dark, Water, Dragon, Rock, Fire, Normal or Flying
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Steel or Psychic ) could also prove beneficial.

Physical Sweeper Metang (Clear Body)
Metang is an outstanding Physical Sweeper for single battles. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Metang is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield until Eviolite was equipped. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. Life Orb boosts the power of Metang's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Clear Body, prevents other pokemon from lowering Metang's stat stages. Brick Break was added to provide additional threat coverage.
◆ Meteor Mash is a physical STAB-boosted 90-base power Steel-type move (20% chance to raise your Metang's attack by 1 stage).
◆ Psycho Cut is a physical TERA-boosted 70-base power Psychic-type move (high critical hit ratio).
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Psychic-type move).
◆ Brick Break is a physical 75-base power Fighting-type move (destroys screens, unless the target is immune).
◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil).
◆ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon).
