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.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Porygon-z is: Ghost

Porygon is an interesting Special Sweeper for single battles. It tries to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Focus Sash helps protect Porygon from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Choice Specs will increase the damage of Porygon's special moves by 1.5x but will lock you into the first move you pick. With Adaptability, Porygon's same-type attack bonus (stab) is 2 instead of 1.5.
