What is the interaction between Aura Wheel's Typing and Terastalization?

Question

If Morpeko were to use a Tera Type, how would Aura Wheel and Tera interact? Also, how would Morpeko's form work? Does Morpeko stay in a certain form? If so, how does that work? Does it depend on what form it was in the turn it Teras or before? Does Aura Wheel stay as one type? If so, which type would Aura Wheel be?

Answer 1

Aura Wheel does not change Morpeko's type after Terastalization.

The Morpeko will stay in whichever forme it Terastalized in, and it wouldn't be able to change its type via Aura Wheel. Aura Wheel also stays as one type, the type in which Morpeko is after Terastalization.

Terastalization activates before Morpeko changes forme, so whichever forme it was in before would be its permanent forme for the rest of the battle.

Also, according to Bulbapedia,

Terastallized Pokémon cannot have their type changed from moves and Abilities.

There is no interaction as such, Tera Type is permanent for a battle.

I forgot to add it in, but what happens if Morpeko switches out and it's in its Hangry form?

Its Tera Type remains the same, but it changes to base forme.

Ah, I see. This is an interesting (yet strange) mechanic.
