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.
Bug moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fairy/Fighting/Fire/Flying/Ghost.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
Poison moves are bad against Steel.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Thwackey is: Steel

Physical Sweeper Thwackey (Grassy Surge)
Thwackey is a pretty decent Physical Sweeper for single battles. It's meant to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. With Grassy Surge, on switch-in Thwackey summons grassy terrain. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. With a Terrain Extender equipped to it, Thwackey's use of electric/grassy/misty/psychic terrain lasts 8 turns instead of 5. With a Grassy Seed equipped to it, if the terrain is grassy terrain, raises Thwackey's defense by 1 stage then the Grassy Seed gets consumed.

◆ Knock Off is a physical 65-base power Dark-type move (1.5x damage if foe holds an item; Note: This will also remove that item).
◆ Thief is a physical 60-base power Dark-type move (if your Thwackey has no item, it steals the target's).
◆ Body Slam is a physical 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target).
◆ Facade is a physical 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Thwackey is burn/poison/paralyzed).
