Pokemon's 9th Generation introduced a brand new mechanic called Terastallizing. When your Pokemon Terastallizes, it becomes more powerful and gets a Tera Type—which usually matches the type of your Pokemon. However, if you have 50 Tera Shards of one particular type, you can change your Pokemon's Tera Type to get the upper hand in battle. In this article, we'll teach you how to change a Pokemon's Tera Type and get more Tera Shards in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet.
