It seems like Terastal will turn Pokemon into their "opposite" type, one that actually benefit from their natural weakness, Pikachu will now either be weak to ground or immune while Terastallizing.
It will be much trickier to counter specific team.

To quote the official website:
"First, each Pokémon has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.

For example, some Eevee will have a Normal Tera Type, but some other Eevee have a Flying Tera Type."

So these aren't exactly fixed in that any Pokemon could have any Tera type (though of course it's fixed from the moment you catch the specific Pokemon - oh joy, new RNG hoops to jump through.
