Terapagos (Japanese: テラパゴス Terapagos) is a Normal-type Legendary Pokémon introduced during Generation IX, in The Indigo Disk.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other pokémon, Terapagos has three forms: Normal Form, Terastal Form, and a unique Stellar-type Terastallized state referred to as its Stellar Form. At the start of a battle, it changes from its Normal Form into its Terastal Form through its Tera Shift Ability, and transforms into its Stellar Form upon Terastallizing.
Terastal Form Terapagos is the game mascot of The Indigo Disk, appearing in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. Another Terapagos plays an important role in pokémon Horizons: The Series.
Stellar Form Terapagos looks just like its Terastal Form, but now enveloped in a radiant, rainbow-colored aura and floating above a massive indigo crystal dome patterned with overlapping hexagons. Beneath the dome are four crystal formations arranged like turtle legs. Atop its central shell gem lies a Stellar-type Tera Jewel, a white crown with a base surrounded by diamonds, each colored after one of the eighteen other types, topped by crystal statue in the shape of Normal Form Terapagos, with a pair of angry-looking eyes on its face, topped by the symbol of the Terastal phenomenon—a dark blue hexagon with triangular extensions on each corner. Eighteen hexagonal gems, each displaying a type icon and color, orbit the dome continuously. All shell icons shift to cyan coloration in this form.
When exposed to a Tera Orb, Terapagos will Terastallize and become Stellar-type, thus morphing into its Stellar Form. However, in pokémon Horizons: The Series, it has been shown to be able to transform without the need of a Tera Orb. This form is said to resemble the world as the ancients saw it, supposedly due to the dome beneath it. Meanwhile, in the Scarlet Book/Violet Book, Heath describes it as an entity, unsure if it is a pokémon or even a living being, though he claims that viewed as a whole, it resembles a mysterious, brilliant disk, and even looks like a planet floating in space. Its Terastal energy becomes so abnormally amplified that it actually appears to lose control and lash out due to its energy output. Due to having so much power, Stellar Form Terapagos may cause cracks around it during its transformation and even risks wreaking havoc to Paldea's ecosystem. While in this form, it was shown to resist being caught by a Master Ball, destroying it in the process. Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of absorbing Terastal energy from other Terastallized pokémon, reverting them back to normal; however, it is unable to repeatedly do this. It can also create Tera Shields around itself which can only be broken by Terastallized pokémon. It can even use the power of the Terastal phenomenon to change its type mid-battle. The hidden powers within Stellar Form Terapagos are capable of reducing to zero all effects of weather and terrain. It has shown to be capable of shooting huge beams of pure Terastal energy at its foes. When using certain special moves, Terapagos will use all of its hexagonal gems in a certain formation to fire the move from it. As revealed by Briar in Don't Give Up, Crocalor!, Terapagos is capable of resonating with other pokémon, specifically with their Tera Types, which grants it more power. Resonating with 18 pokémon, each possessing one of the 18 known Tera Types allows Terapagos to use its full power. This, however, will drain away its power, forcing it into hibernation. As shown in HZ135, Terapagos is capable of Terastalizing up to 18 pokémon at the same time in this form. In this form, it is referred to as a "Disk pokémon" because of its disk-shaped shell, as well as "the Hidden Treasure of Area Zero" due to being considered a secret treasure sought by the Paldean empire 2,000 years ago.
Stellar Form Terapagos is the only known pokémon that can have Teraform Zero as an Ability.
