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

Oranguru is an extraordinary Special Sweeper in 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 boosts Oranguru's special attack stat by 2 stages. Life Orb boosts the power of Oranguru's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Inner Focus, Oranguru cannot be made to flinch. Immune to intimidate.
♦ Psyshock is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Psychic-type move (damages target based on defense, not special defense).
♦ Hyper Voice is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Normal-type move (no additional effect. Hits adjacent foes).
♦ Hyper Beam is a special STAB-boosted 150-base power Normal-type move (Oranguru cannot move next turn).
♦ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Rock-type move).
♦ Thunderbolt is a special 90-base power Electric-type move (10% chance to paralyze the target).
