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.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
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.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Torterra is: Water, Steel, Fire or Ice
Considering the amount of shared resistances against typings this Pokemon is usually weak to, we also recommend: Steel, Fire or Rock
We strongly suggest: Steel, Fire or Rock
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Grass or Ground ) could also prove useful.

- Outrage
Torterra is an extraordinary Physical Sweeper for single battles. It's goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. The Shell Bell item option is to help Torterra recover from the recoil damage it may take from Wood Hammer. With Shell Armor, Torterra cannot be struck by a critical hit. With a Eject Pack equipped to it, if Torterra's stat stages are lowered, it switches to a chosen ally then the Eject Pack gets consumed.
◆ Earthquake is a physical STAB-boosted 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon).
◆ Wood Hammer is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Grass-type move (has 33% recoil).
◆ Seed Bomb is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Grass-type move that deals a decent amount of damage.
◆ Superpower is a physical 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Torterra's attack and defense by 1 stage).
◆ Outrage is a physical 120-base power Dragon-type move (lasts 2-3 turns. Confuses your Torterra afterwards).
