I don't intend to elaborate much on christmas day, so you'll just get some throwaway ones I think are self-explanatory.

Eternatus should have fire, its excellent on offensive sets.
Zacian-Crowned should have Steel as an option, helps alot w boosting blade and resisting opposing zacians blade
Arceus-Dark and Arc-Ghost should have poison, reasons are fairly explanatory.
Kyu-B and Zekrom should have Fairy
Deoxys-Attack and Flutter Mane should have stellar, Chien Pao probably can as well but thats more niche
Arc-Ground should have fairy.
Koraidon can honestly have tera normal, its specific but it has the same justifications as Tera Ghost, just being an emergency check to Lunala and Arc-Ghost
Mewtwo can do tera fire
Kingambit can have ghost

 

[LeBarBURR]

Zacian-Crowned should have Stellar Tera too, aside from boosting it's main STABs it may come in handy to boost its coverage options when necessary

Dondozo does not need to Tera often, but when it does, Tera electric is useful handling physical Rayquaza, Kyurem-Black, and stronger Ho Oh sets

With psychic attacks more common, Clodsire should also have Tera dark as an option, also improving its matchup against Lunala especially without gaining too much weaknesses in what other things its supposed to check

Alomomola and Dachsbun should have Tera ghost, they do not eat a stronger Close Combat from Koraidon even with a resist, and with their teammates still active at least, one extra turn of Wish will make a difference (and Tera water on Dachsbun would be redundant especially when it's usually paired with a Water teammate anyway)

Zamazenta-Crowned could use Tera Water, Fire, and Fairy more than Fighting, it's main goal is to outlive to KO opponents, but Tera fighting just means it becomes more vulnerable to Fairy, psychics, and your regulars like burns, or just being overwhelmed by Ogre or Etern

 

[AM]

Would add Steel for Ditto for Zacian-C mirror for behemoth blade.

 

[Jojen]

just some quick suggestions:

Zacian-Crowned can do Dark
Calyrex-Ice can do Ice
Skeledirge should have Water
Arc-Fly should have Poison
Skarmory can do Fire

 

[Sami]

Nitpick but a lot of the names for Pokemon are unseeable in dark mode

[jjjnkn]

Ghost on Ribombee is pretty self explanatory
Iron Bundle can use water to improve its relatively weak hydro pump and ice for freeze dry

no tera flying/ghost king?

no tera flying/ghost king?

ghost shouldn't have been missing. fixed
flying is basically never seen, doesn't provide enough to justify using over the other tera types

 

[OreoSpeedruns]

i'm unfamiliar with this tier but how is ribombee so high

Webs is arguably the strongest HO style in the meta and Ribombee is by far the best webs setter. Since webs as a style are strong right now, Ribombee will naturally be high in viability.

For future reference, these types of questions about Pokemon viability are better suited to the Simple Questions, Simple Answers thread. Should you have questions specifically about listed Tera Types you can ask here, but for other questions please make sure to ask in the proper channels.

Why isn't Tera Ghost listed on Koraidon? Tera Dark could also be a fringe fifth slash, as it saw usage in UPL via Colin, and is a helpful tool vs offense mirrors

I'd like to add some new Teras that have been popping up more and more as of recently :

- Ho-Oh : Tera Flying. It's the main Tera on the Scarf set, adding power to its best offensive STAB while also removing some weaknesses is very good for such an offensive set.
- Eternatus : Tera Steel. While not being as popular as the other Teras, it has been used a bit more to help against other Eterns on a pinch, while also providing some usefulness against NDM, Zacian and Caly I (the last 2 being covered by Fire)
- Arceus : Tera Ghost. I feel like it's a staple of this Mon, but maybe I'm wrong. Tera Ghost being able to help against Korai and other E Killers, while also giving STAB to Shadow Claw, is always gonna be good.
- NDM : Tera Poison and Dark. Tera Poison is a staple on the double dance set, which is a pretty recent set but still. Tera Dark is a much more recent novelty, being used on the Defensive DD set to help against opposing NDM, Lunala, while also giving STAB to Knock Off.
- Lunala : Tera Fighting. While not being as prevalent as the other two Teras, it is still being used on the Focus Blast variant. It provides a Dark resistance (which helps a lot against Kingambit and K Off NDM), while also giving STAB to Focus Blast. The rocks resistance is a nice bonus.
- Arceus Ghost : Tera Fairy. I feel like Tera Fairy is always gonna get some value on these slower variants of Arceus, and it is always a good type to have.
- Gliscor : Tera Fairy. Pretty much the same reasoning as for Arceus Ghost. While not providing as much value as Water, Fairy is still a valuable option against Dragons.
- Pecharunt : Tera Fairy. Yes, I know, it's pretty much the same as the two before, but it's even more valuable for this Mon to help against the Korai 1 vs 1. Being able to still tank both its STABS, while also being at least neutral on its main coverage, and being immune to Scale Shot before lowering its offense with Parting Shot, is a lot of arguments going for it.
- Giratina : Tera Water. Not the primary Tera on it, but still useful, although not in the same context. While Tera Fairy helps against Korai, Tera Water mainly helps against Kyogre while also keeping a good defensive profile.

Now I'm gonna add some niche options that I don't think are strong enough to be put here, but still provide some value :

- Koraidon : Tera Fighting, Dragon and Ghost. The first two Teras are used on the Band set to help break anything that comes close to it (mainly Fighting to 2HKO Ho Oh), Dragon also being used on a non Loaded Dice set to help provide some consistency to Scale Shot. Tera Ghost is mainly here to help against E Killer, while also being a good surprise Tera in Korai 1 vs 1 if the opponent decides to go for Low Kick or CC.
- Zacian : Tera Grass and Dark. Both aren't played that much, Tera Grass being mainly played on the Trailblaze set, but Tera Dark has seen some popularity combined with Crunch, mainly to help against Lunala.
- Arceus Electric : Tera Flying and Electric. This Mon doesn't Tera much, but I feel like those two Teras are valuable options to consider ; Flying being more defensive (mainly to help against Ground spammers but can also help against Korai) and Electric being purely offensive (to grab some ranges on some Mons).
- Ribombee and Deoxys Speed : Tera Dark. I'm regrouping those two in the same category, which is mainly to help against Grimmsnarl HO's. It's very niche but can still be useful. "Why not Glimmora then ?" Because it doesn't need as much Prankster immunity as the other two.
- Hatterene : Tera Steel. While not really helping against Korai, it does a lot against Zacian and Etern. Mainly a surprise Tera tho.

So yeah, here are my suggestions. Thank you for reading.
