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.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Staravia is: Ground or Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Normal or Flying ) could also prove favorable.
Select a Tera-type:

Staravia is an extraordinary Physical Sweeper in single battles. It attempts to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Focus Sash helps protect Staravia from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Choice Band will increase the damage of Staravia's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. With Reckless, Staravia's attacks with recoil or crash damage have 1.2x power; not struggle. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction.
♦ Facade is a physical STAB-boosted 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Staravia is burn/poison/paralyzed).
♦ Brave Bird is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Flying-type move (has 33% recoil).
♦ Wing Attack is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Flying-type move that deals damage.
♦ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Steel-type move).
