Tera Type Index: SV OU
stolen from Finchinator
With SV OU evolving into a metagame with seemingly infinite possibilities, particularly due to Terastallization ("Tera") type choices, teambuilding can be a daunting task while playing around some of the strongest Pokemon can be overwhelming. The goal of this thread is to index many of the common and relevant Tera types that Pokemon in SV OU can viably use. This is a curated list, but you can refer to our Smogon Strategy Pokedex for more explanations on Tera type choices or find other common Tera types used on the PS! ladder in the moveset usage stats. This thread will be left as a locked resource that is periodically updated.
Disclaimers:
- Pokemon on this list are arranged in alphabetical order.
- Tera types for each Pokemon are arranged in alphabetical order; however, they are ordered based on viability depending on where they're placed in reference to the '|' sign, with ones to its left considered as more viable/relevant, while ones to its right considered as nicher options in general and/or only used on its nicher set.
- All Pokemon found on this list will (very closely) reflect ones that are ranked on our Viability Rankings.
