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 Samurott is: Ground, Grass, Dragon, Fire, Flying, Poison, Bug or Steel

Samurott is an outstanding Special Sweeper for single battles. This moveset is designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Choice Specs will increase the damage of Samurott's special moves by 1.5x but will lock you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Samurott's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Shell Armor, Samurott cannot be struck by a critical hit.
◆ Water Pledge is a special TERA-boosted 80-base power Water-type move (use with grass or fire pledge for added effect).
◆ 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).
◆ Air Slash is a special 75-base power Flying-type move (30% chance to make the target flinch).
◆ Grass Knot is a special 0-base power Grass-type move (more power the heavier the target).
