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.
Electric moves are bad against Ground.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Prinplup is: Ground, Grass, Dragon, Fire, Flying, Poison, Bug or Steel

Special Sweeper Prinplup (Competitive)
Prinplup is a marvelous Special Sweeper for single battles. It's primary goal is 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 Snore) and raises Prinplup's special attack stat by 2 stages. Life Orb boosts the power of Prinplup's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Competitive, Prinplup's sp. Atk is raised by 2 for each of its stats that is lowered by a foe.
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Water-type move).
◆ Ice Beam is a special 90-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target).
◆ Icy Wind is a special 55-base power Ice-type move (100% chance to lower the foes speed by 1 stage).
◆ Grass Knot is a special 0-base power Grass-type move (more power the heavier the target).
◆ Snore is a special 50-base power Normal-type move (Prinplup must be asleep. 30% chance to flinch target).
◆ Weather Ball is a special 50-base power Normal-type move (power doubles and type varies in each weather).
