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.
Ice moves are bad against Water/Steel/Fire/Ice.
Psychic moves are bad against Dark.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Vileplume is: Water, Rock, Fire or Steel
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Grass or Poison ) could also prove beneficial.

Special Sweeper Vileplume (Chlorophyll)
Vileplume is a sensational Special Sweeper for single battles. The purpose of this moveset is to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Choice Specs will increase the damage of Vileplume's special moves by 1.5x but will lock you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Vileplume's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Chlorophyll, Vileplume's speed is doubled during sunny weather.
◆ Leaf Storm is a special STAB-boosted 130-base power Grass-type move (lowers your Vileplume's special attack by 2 stages).
◆ Sludge Wave is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Poison-type move (10% chance to poison adjacent pokemon).
◆ Sludge Bomb is a special STAB-boosted 90-base power Poison-type move (30% chance to poison the target).
◆ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a Rock-type move).
