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.
Fire moves are bad against Water/Dragon/Rock/Fire.
Flying moves are bad against Steel/Rock/Electric.
Psychic moves are bad against Dark.
Rock moves are bad against Steel/Fighting/Ground.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Venonat is: Rock or Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Bug or Poison ) could also prove advantageous.

Physical Sweeper Venonat (Compound Eyes)
Venonat is a remarkable Physical Sweeper in single battles. It's designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Choice Band will increase the damage of Venonat's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Venonat's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Compound Eyes, Venonat's moves have their accuracy multiplied by 1.3.
♦ Leech Life is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Bug-type move (Venonat recovers 50% of the damage dealt).
♦ Bug Bite is a physical STAB-boosted 60-base power Bug-type move (Venonat steals and eats the target's berry).
♦ Poison Fang is a physical STAB-boosted 50-base power Poison-type move (50% chance to badly poison the target).
♦ Zen Headbutt is a physical 80-base power Psychic-type move (20% chance to make the target flinch).
