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 Tornadus is: Ground or Steel

Tornadus is a legendary Physical Sweeper for single battles. It's designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Focus Sash helps protect Tornadus from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Choice Band will increase the damage of Tornadus's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. With Defiant, Tornadus's attack is raised by 2 for each of its stats that is lowered by a foe. U-turn was added to provide additional threat coverage.
