In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you can change Ter’s type by visiting the Chef at the Sushi Bar in the Treasury. Just like that one. But first, you’ll have to defeat Gym Leader Larry at the Medal Gym. It uses normal-type pokemon that are at level 35. So make sure your pokemon is at that level before challenging this gym. After defeating Larry, head to the sushi bar in Treasure Eatery. There, the chef will ask you if you want to change your Pokemon’s Tera type. You will need 50 Tera Shards of a certain type. But as a lesson, the chef will give you regular Tera Shards on your first visit. Later, you can get Tera Shards by participating in Tera Raid Events. To change the ter type:
- Give Tera Shards to the cook.
- Choose the type of Pokemon Tera you want to change. That’s all.
- Then, in combat, you will gain the ability to Terastillize by pressing the R button.
Why change the ter type?
In traditional Pokemon battles, you had to be careful about the type of Pokemon you choose. For example, if you were fighting a Grass-type Fire-type Pokémon, then you would be guaranteed to lose. However, with this new mechanic, you can change your grass type to a water type, which is strong against fire-type Pokemon. The introduction of this mechanic completely changes your combat strategy. Therefore, you can save a lost battle by changing the type of Ter.
