Item: Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest
Nature: Calm (+SpD, -Atk)
EVs: 252 Hp / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Moveset:
- Protect / Shadow Claw
- Curse
- Substitute
- Leech Seed
When it comes to single battles, Trevenant shines as a dazzling Special Wall. It is meant to take a nice amount of hits from special attacks while dealing some decent damage. The Sitrus Berry will restore 1/4th of Trevenant's max HP when it reaches below half health and gets consumed. With the Harvest ability, if the last item Trevenant used was a berry then there is a 50% chance to restore it at the end of each turn (or 100% chance during sunny weather). Combining Trevenant's Harvest ability with the Sitrus Berry will make this a very difficult Pokemon to take down as it will repeatedly recover health. CURSE activates the Berry. Substitute first, then seed up, activate the Sitrus Berry, Curse, then just stall.
Only Curse when you have Harvested a Berry and you have seeded.
◆ Shadow Claw is a physical STAB-boosted 70-base power Ghost-type move (high critical hit ratio).
◆ Curse is a status move (curses if ghost, else -1 spe, +1 atk, +1 def).
◆ Substitute is a status move (Trevenant takes 1/4 its max hp to put in a substitute).
◆ Leech Seed is a status move (1/8 of target's hp is restored to Trevenant every turn).

Item: Starf Berry
Ability: Harvest
Nature: Careful (+SpD, -SpA)
EVs: 244 Hp / 12 Atk / 252 SpD
Moveset:
- Phantom Force
- Protect
- Curse
- Substitute
Trevenant proves to be a stupendous Special Wall for single battles. The intention of this moveset is to handle special hits and respond with decent damage. With the Harvest ability, if the last item Trevenant used was a berry then there is a 50% chance to restore it at the end of each turn (or 100% chance during sunny weather). Essentially the old tropius starf berry tactic, but way better.
You try to switch into something that is either sleeping, or doesn't have any dangerous attacks, and use substitute. Afterwards you use curse, and your Starf berry will activate. Then protect + phantom force to stall, and hope you get the right boosts. With a Starf Berry equipped to it, raises a random stat by 2 when at 1/4 max hp or less (not acc/eva) then the Starf Berry gets consumed.
◆ Protect is a status move (prevents moves from affecting your Trevenant this turn).
◆ Curse is a status move (curses if ghost, else -1 spe, +1 atk, +1 def).
◆ Substitute is a status move (Trevenant takes 1/4 its max hp to put in a substitute).

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.
Dark moves are bad against Fairy/Fighting/Dark.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Ghost moves are bad against Normal.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Trevenant is: Water, Rock, Fire or Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Ghost or Grass ) could also prove helpful.
