Taking advantage of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Tera types allows you to increase the power of moves that belong to a certain type in battle.
Tera types are usually one of the types that a Pokémon has naturally. However, it doesn’t have to be that way!
These rarer types can be found during Tera Raids and bring a whole new layer of flexibility to the battle game. In addition to this, you can change the Tera type of any Pokémon to get exactly the one you want.
These are Tera Shards and require some work, but here’s how to find them and what to do to change Tera types in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

How to get Tera fragments in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
To change your Pokémon’s Tera type, you must first collect 50 Tera Shards of the type you want to change it to.
You can get Tera Shards in two places:
The most recommended is Tera Raids, where you will receive Tera Shards as a reward depending on the type you are fighting.
Higher level raids will usually drop more Tera Shards. However, even 5-star raids usually only drop between 4 and 6 shards, so you’ll need to complete a lot to change your Pokémon’s Tera type.
Tera Raids can be updated by forcibly changing the date of your Switch.
To do this, first close Pokémon Scarlet or Violet. Go to the System tab in the Settings menu, scroll down to Date & Time, and uncheck the option to sync the clock over the Internet.
Then set the time a couple of minutes before midnight. When it passes, new Tera Raids will be available.
Meanwhile, Tera Shards can also be found in Area Zero, the secret area at the end of the main path, as glowing objects on the ground.
However, this method is less reliable since you can’t be sure what type they are until you pick them up.
Our The Teal Mask walkthrough will help you complete the first part of The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC, but make sure you know how to start it first. When visiting Kitakami it is a good idea to know how to get Sinistea, Dipplin and The Loyal Three. Our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet walkthrough can take you through the main campaign, including The First Day of School, Victory Road, Starfall Street, Path of Legends, and, when you’re ready, The Way Home and the final boss. Elsewhere, we can help with the normal gym test secret item menu, version differences, the best scarlet and violet starter, XP farming, shiny Pokémon, and learning to fly, swim, climb, and run. When it comes to individual Pokémon, we can help with Gimmighoul, Ditto, Bellibolt, Pawmot, Scovillain, Frigibax, Brambleghast, Annihilape, Farigiraf, Dudunsparce, Lycanrock, Armarouge, and Ceruledge.
How to change Tera type with your Tera Shards
The character that will change the Tera type of your Pokémon can be found in Medali. Specifically, you can find them at Treasury Eatery. This is the large building next to the Medali East Pokécenter.
To gain access to the type-changing character Tera, you will first need to defeat Larry, the normal-type gym leader.
After that, talk to the chef behind the counter at the back of the restaurant. They will have a yellow text bubble that says “Do you want to change the Tera type of any Pokémon?” After congratulating your victory over Larry, they will tell you about Tera Shards.
First, they will give you 50 normal type Tera Shards and you will have to use them or exit the conversation and come back if you want to use Tera Shards of a different type that you have already created.
But after that, any type of Tera Shard that you have more than 50 of will appear as an option, followed by your Boxes to choose which Pokémon to apply them to.
Using this method, you’ll be able to turn things around in battle and surprise your friends and opponents alike!
