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

Rampardos is a pretty decent Physical Sweeper for single battles. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Rampardos's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. However, Sheer Force negates the recoil damage from Life Orb while still increasing the damage from both it's ability and the orb making it an amazing item for Rampardos. The Shell Bell item option is to help Rampardos recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Sheer Force, Rampardos's attacks with secondary effects have 1.3x power; nullifies the effects.

◆ Zen Headbutt is a physical TERA-boosted 80-base power Psychic-type move (20% chance to make the target flinch).
