Tera Blast is aspecialmove, but it does also have the following unique behavior:

Tera Blastuses the Pokémon’s Attack or Special Attack stat, whichever is higher.

So I used Eiscue to test this, and while doing so I found a shiny! But onto the important stuff.

Eiscue has a special ability calledIce Face, which makes it completely immune toPhysical Movesuntil the ability is broken with a Physical Move.

I used a Wiglett(With higher Atk then SpA) and a Zoroark(With Higher SpA then Atk).

Un-Terastralized Wiglett UsingTera Blastdamaged the Eiscue and did not activate Ice Face, meaning it was very much aSpecial move.

Terastalized Wiglett Using Tera BlastDidbreak Ice Face, completely negating the damage, meaning it was now aPhysical Move.

Un-Terastralized Zoroark using Tera Blast was the same, did damage and did not break Ice Face, very much still a special move.

Terastalized Zoroark using Tera Blast was very much the same too, confirming it as aSpecial Move.

TLDR: While Unterastralized, Tera Blast is always a special normal type move, Butt when Terastalized and Atk > SpA, Tera Blast will become a Physical Move.

Hope I Helped.

Yes , Tera blast becomes physical IF your Pokemon’s attack stat is higher than their special attack. If your Pokemon has equal attack and special attack stat. Then , Tera blast will become a Special move. That’s all.
