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 Snorlax is: Ghost

- Earthquake / High Horsepower
Snorlax is a remarkable Physical Sweeper for single battles. It attempts to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Life Orb boosts the power of Snorlax's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. The Shell Bell item option is to help Snorlax recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Immunity, Snorlax cannot be poisoned. Gaining this ability while poisoned cures it.
◆ Body Slam is a physical STAB-boosted 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target).
◆ Outrage is a physical 120-base power Dragon-type move (lasts 2-3 turns. Confuses your Snorlax afterwards).
◆ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Rock-type move).
◆ Rock Slide is a physical TERA-boosted 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to make the foes flinch).
◆ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon).
◆ High Horsepower is a physical 95-base power Ground-type move that deals a nice amount of damage.
