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