The latest addition to the franchise, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet has a lot of great new features like auto-battling, let's go walk, and terastallizing. A little confused? This is the Pokémon SV Terastallizing Guide you need to read.
What is Terastallizing?
Terastallizing turns a Paldea Pokémon into these crystalized versions of themselves that change their type in the battle. The Tera Orb, which is single-use in battles, can change your Pokémon into something more powerful. Recharge it by visiting Pokémon Centers or by touching Terastal energy crystals you find along your adventure. Tera types are viewable in the Pokémon menu to battle strategically in the Paldea region.

Changing Tera Types
Tera types differ from one Pokémon to the other – The same Pokémon can have different Tera types. If you have a Pokémon that you want to work with, its Tera type can be changed by beating the Medali gym. Simply bring 50 Tera Shards from completing Tera Raids or through gifts to the chef at Treasure Eatery.
Make sure to remember these fundamentals from this Pokémon SV Terastallizing Guide and you're sure to finish the game with ease.
