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.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Yungoos is: Ghost

Yungoos is an interesting Physical Sweeper in single battles. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Choice Band will increase the damage of Yungoos's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Yungoos's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Strong Jaw, Yungoos's bite-based attacks have 1.5x power. Bug bite is not boosted. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction.
♦ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Steel-type move).
♦ Crunch is a physical 80-base power Dark-type move (20% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage).
♦ Facade is a physical STAB-boosted 70-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if Yungoos is burn/poison/paralyzed).
