what kind
[PREMISE]
Every Pokemon stacks Protean on top of their current ability. Each Pokemon's type changes to match the type of the move it is about to use.
[EXAMPLES]
A Cresselia that uses Thunderbolt on its first turn out will convert into Electric-type while retaining its Ground-type immunity from Levitate. If it uses Moonblast, it will change into a Fairy-type.
A Garganacl uses Salt Cure on its first turn out, which does not change its type to Rock because it is already natively Rock-type. It can use Body Press on its second turn active to change to the Fighting-type.
A Kingambit that uses Iron Head on its first turn will be converted to a mono-Steel-type Pokemon, even though it used a move that it already has STAB with.
[RULESET]
Standard OMs, Sleep Moves Clause, Min Source Gen = 9

Additionally, Tera Ghost can be used to instantly change its type, avoiding any penalties from its low speed and letting it set up a Swords Dance against a Normal- or Fighting-type attacker.
