Moveset
Click to enlargeTyphlosion is the final evolution of the Fire-type starter from Johto, Cyndaquil. However, with its Ghost Tera Type and Mightiest Mark, Trainers will need to take a variety of potential moves into account.
Based on previous events, Typhlosion's speculated moveset is as follows:
・ Shadow Ball
・ Flamethrower
・ Focus Blast
・ Solar Beam
It may also run with Sunny Day to boost its Fire-type moves, or Will-O-Wisp to cause chip damage to your team. It is also likely to have the hidden ability Flash Fire, absorbing any Fire-type attacks to increase its attack.
Due to Typlosion’s Special Attack role, it is believed to have a Modest nature.

Counters

Hisuian Zoroark will have full immunity to any STAB Ghost-type moves Typhlosion has. That's along with covering off any Fighting weaknesses. By using Nasty Plot and Shadow Ball, you can utilise both a boosted Sp. Atk stat and STAB for massive damage.
Rain Dance will also halve the damage of Typhlosion's Fire-type moves with Rain Dance, as well as buffing anyone who mistakenly brings a Water-type Pokemon.
Finally, you should look to equip the Shell Bell for passive HP restoration throughout the fight.
