POTENTIAL SPOILER (?):

Most of the Pokemon I mention in the strategy section of the video have been confirmed to be in the regional dex based on official trailer footage. But don’t worry. That super duper special case has not been…. Yet

[XxMeatTBonexX]

This was a great summarization of terastilization! Can't wait to see how it will work in VGC and what strategies people come up with 😁

[stevenneaves]

I just wanna see an official crystal onix 😂

[thafutureonline]

I saw my boy slowking was in the game. thats all i needed to see.

[mozaik-inc]

That sheninja cannot survive in a meta game filled with traps and status effects

[Back-Air]

Ohh yes I want that shedinja

Sadly i imagine that each Pokémon’s has a single type they can change into

[jpjeremiah]

If anything, unless I’m missing something, in a way each Pokémon will have a preferred Terra type likely avoiding redundant typings, types that it can’t make use of offensively or defensively, and/or making use of a type that it can take advantage of with STAB moves that normally wouldn’t KO otherwise for particular threats? Too early to say obviously but just my take!

[marktreerng]

Got me thinking of Specs/Band Dual Types taking on a 3rd new STAB. Glass cannons might be very very unpredictable....

[Kcolon]

Can you imagine water tera type, choice band, strong jaw Dracovish using fiscious rend in the rain, or ice tera type, choice band, gorilla tactics Darm-G using icicle crash?? Or steel tera zacian crowned using behemoth blade? I doubt these mons will make it into Scarlet and Violet, but omgggg. Good thing tera types weren’t a thing in Galar lololol

The true terror is when you swap Sturdy onto Shedinja.
Or you swap Wonder Guard on a Burn Up fire type.

[bluephoenix]

Shedinja's honestly not that scary, you can still status effect it with poison or burn, or it could just faint from an entry hazard or a weather effect. It's only scary for those who generally have never seen it. Veteran players aren't scared of it but ARE scared of Skill Swap when that thing is in a Double Battle.
