Yeah they would have brought it up by now, if that were the case.

I feel simply that some Pokemon will be limited to certain Tera types, some being more common and some being more rare.

Like maybe Eevee can become any of the Tera 18 types, due to being Normal type, but maybe Tyranitar is limited to only certain Tera types,

I don't think there is a limit. I think any pokemon can have any Tera type, and it's all at random.

The fact that we have Tera Blast pretty much explains it. The move ensures a pokemon can make use of any Tera type.

I believe that any Pokemon can have any Tera type as long as they know a move of that type. Shedinja does not know any Electric-type moves, so it cannot have Electric as a Tera type.

That's what I think too. And Tera Blast is here to help the ones with only status or poor moves of its Tera Type.
But maybe we're wrong and it's like Hidden Power, same Tera Type forever (until the DLCs) determined with its IVs stats or similar.

In any case, it's known that the trainer must have the Tera Orb in his/her item bag. But does anyone know if the poke must carry any kind of Tera Item (like the Mega Stones o the Z-Crystals) at the same time, or it will be "item free" like the Giga/Dynamax forms?

Well, if an item is needed, the almighty Shedinja Eletric Tera Type is a little less broken xD

Nope, seems it all relies on the Tera Orb. Just, in order to Terastalize you need to have a fully charged Tera Orb, otherwise it just gives increased stab for the Pokemon I believe.

Pokemon don't have to hold a Tera Item to transform. In the latest trailer, we see Breelom showcasing the new item Loaded Dice while in its Tera Form.

The new cycling lizard Pokemon is kind of cool I guess. It reminded me of a grown up version of Axew actually lol. Not a huge fan of lizard or reptile Pokemon as a general rule but I can see the appeal of this one. :]

I really like Cyclizar but the cherry on top is now having a trio of normal type lizards.

Cyclizar, Heliolisk and Kecleon would make for good travel buddies or a normal type gym team.

Because in the trailer, they want to bait the opponent into using a Water type move to get a Steam Engine boost. You'd want the Tera type to be either Grass, Water, or Dragon so it can resist Water and take minimal damage. Ground won't help much because it's still weak to Water.

No I mean why would you use a Water type move assuming that it has steam engine, just use a ground move. Would still be 4x effective to the original typing

I honestly wonder if Kecleon is in this game if both Color Change and Synchronoise would be updated for the Terastalize gimmick.

EDIT: SV Japanese news feed confirms that all Pokemon will be able to have any of the 18 types as their Tera Type in SV.

Lets see the meta plan for this!

Definitely now going to hunt for a Water tera type Cetitan.
