Another one, do you think Walking Wake can viably run a Physical/Mixed set with Booster Energy and Dragon Dance, I am trying to experiment with that, if so any sets ti recommend. I am trying to run a set of Dragon Claw, Liquidation, Dragon Dance, and physical Tera Dark/Fighting/Fire Blast.
 
How does terastilizing affect the effects of moves that cause you to change/lose types such as Double Shock? And how does using those moves while terastilized work? Does it depend on the move?

In the case of Double Shock, the move fails if you're not Tera Electric, but a Tera Electric type also will not lose the typing and thus could spam Double Shock.

To my knowledge, a Terastalized Pokemon cannot have its active type altered through any other means or move.

Claiming that anyone who disagrees is 'objectively wrong' qualifies, and it's dismissive of opposing views to the extreme.
I also think it's fair to say given previous responses to this poster that they aren't necessarily representative of a Smogon Forum majority. Not that they are right or wrong, just that I don't think they're the strongest example for one user to base a perception of most posters on.
