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.
Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian pokémon that resembles an indigo sea turtle. It has thick, voluminous fur that forms a mane around its head and three tail-like masses at its rear, varying in color from greenish yellow to sky blue and glowing brightly in dark environments. Its hind legs are entirely concealed by fur, while only the tips of its front toes remain visible, rendering it unable to walk and requiring it to float instead. The shell transforms into a complex structure composed of eighteen irregular pentagons, each bearing a shifting symbol representing one of the eighteen types. Additional solid light-blue pentagons appear along the shell's rim. Its former earrings and ponytail are no longer distinct, having merged into the structure of its head.
Normal Form Terapagos can absorb the energy around itself when it is either in danger or about to battle, thus transforming into its Terastal Form. Its shell is composed of crystallized Terastal energy and holds the power of every type, allowing it to distort type matchups and render moves as not very effective. Its shell then absorbs the move's energy and transfers it back to Terapagos. When using certain special moves, Terapagos withdraws its hands and head into its shell, shapes its mane in a way it resembles its three tails, and flies up to fire the move from the gem in the center of its shell. As seen in The Approaching Shadow!, due to being opposites, in this form, Terapagos can purify Laquium by absorbing its mist and destroying the crystal itself, which reverts its effects on pokémon as a result. As shown in Beyond the Shining Rainbow, it is capable of sharing its Terastal energy in the form of an orb with other pokémon, allowing them to Terastallize, but forcing itself back to its Normal Form. In this form, it is known as "the Indigo Disk" due to its indigo coloration and disk-shaped shell.
Terastal Form Terapagos is the only known pokémon that can have Tera Shell as an Ability.
