Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced the new Terastal phenomenon, which adds a unique new wrinkle to battles. The option allows players to change a Pokemon‘s type, but it seems it actually does more than The Pokemon Company has acknowledged. YouTuber Eve-Pao has discovered that Terastallizing actually provides a boost to moves with a Base Power under 60. This is only the case for moves that match the Pokemon’s Tera type. For example, a Fuecoco with a Fire Tera type will have its Ember boosted from a Base Power of 40 to a Base Power of 60 after Terastallizing.
It’s worth noting that there are some exceptions to this. Moves that deal multiple hits are exempt, as are moves that factor in elements like a Pokemon’s HP, weight, speed, etc. A full list of the exceptions was shared by Serebii and can be found right here. The Tweet from Eve-Pao confirming this detail can be found embedded…
