'''Tera Blast''' (Japanese: '''テラバースト''' ''Tera Burst'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is [[TM171]] in Generation IX.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|Does the move's category actually change, or only the stat used for damage calculation? Under what circumstances does this happen? For what purposes other than Gale Wings is Tera Blast considered Normal-type?}}
Tera Blast deals damage. If the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat is higher than its {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, Tera Blast becomes a [[physical move]] when [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized]]; otherwise, it remains a [[special move]]. For determining which stat is higher, stat stage-modifiers are taken into account, but other effects (e.g. [[held item]]s such as a [[Choice Band]], Abilities such as {{a|Huge Power}}, etc.) are not.

If the user has [[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallized]], Tera Blast's [[type]] becomes the same as their Tera Type, and the move has a different animation depending on the move's type. Tera Blast is always considered Normal-type for the purpose of {{a|Gale Wings}}.

==Description==
{{movedesc|normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|If the user has Terastallized, it unleashes energy of its Tera Type. This move inflicts damage using the Attack or Sp. Atk stat—whichever is higher for the user.
