Summary

Terapagos is a Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation 9, native to the Paldea region. Known as the Tera Pokémon, it is the origin of the Terastal phenomenon and plays a central role in the events of the "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" DLC for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Type: Normal

Abilities:

  • Tera Shift: Upon entering battle, Terapagos absorbs surrounding energy and transforms into its Terastal Form.
  • Tera Shell (Terastal Form): While at full HP, Terapagos takes reduced damage from all attacks.
  • Teraform Zero (Stellar Form): When Terapagos changes into its Stellar Form, it eliminates all effects of weather and terrain, reducing them to zero.

Physical Characteristics:

  • In its Normal Form, Terapagos resembles a small, indigo tortoise with a cyan, hexagonal shell adorned with the Terastal symbol. Its limbs and tail are decorated with cyan, four-pointed stars, and it has a distinctive diamond-like pattern on its forehead.
  • The Terastal Form sees Terapagos enveloped in a crystalline shell composed of eighteen pentagonal facets, each representing a different Pokémon type. It also gains voluminous, shiny fur that glows in dark environments.
  • The Stellar Form amplifies its Terastal energy abnormally, making it resemble the world as perceived by ancient civilizations.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Terapagos is known to have existed millions of years ago but was thought extinct due to seismic shifts. One survived by crystallizing its body and entering hibernation in the Area Zero Underdepths.
  • It has an incredibly long lifespan and can remain dormant for extended periods, resembling a jewel when retracted into its shell.
  • Terapagos is the source of the Terastal phenomenon, with its crystalline energy influencing the environment of Area Zero.

In Battle:

  • Terapagos starts battles in its Normal Form but immediately transforms into its Terastal Form via Tera Shift.
  • In Terastal Form, its Tera Shell ability reduces damage from all attacks while at full HP.
  • Upon Terastallizing, it assumes its Stellar Form, gaining the Teraform Zero ability, which nullifies all weather and terrain effects.
  • Its high defensive stats and unique abilities make it a formidable opponent in battle.

Evolution:

  • Terapagos does not evolve from or into any other Pokémon.

Interesting Facts:

  • Terapagos is the only known Pokémon capable of Terastallizing into the Stellar Tera Type.
  • Its shell's design, featuring symbols of all eighteen Pokémon types, signifies its connection to the Terastal phenomenon.
  • Terapagos plays a pivotal role in the storyline of "The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero," where it is discovered in the depths of Area Zero and becomes a central figure in the unfolding events.
