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 Porygon2 is: Ghost

Porygon2 is an awesome Special Sweeper for single battles. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Porygon2 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 Porygon2's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Trace, on switch-in or when it can Porygon2 copies a random adjacent foe's ability.
◆ Psyshock is a special TERA-boosted 80-base power Psychic-type move (damages target based on defense, not special defense).
◆ Tri Attack is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (20% chance to paralyze or burn or freeze target).
◆ Hyper Beam is a special STAB-boosted 150-base power Normal-type move (Porygon2 cannot move next turn).
◆ Foul Play is a physical 95-base power Dark-type move (uses target's attack stat in damage calculation).
◆ Ice Beam is a special 90-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target).
