Stellar (type)
The Stellar type (Japanese: ステラタイプ Stellar type) is a type that exists only in Generation IX. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or moves bear it naturally, being exclusive to the Terastallized state of a Pokémon.
Battle properties
Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other games outside the core series.
Offensive properties of  Stellar-type moves
| ||
|---|---|---|
| Super effective (×2): | Not very effective (×½): | No effect (×0): |
| None | None | None |
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will always retain its original typing's Defensive properties.
Additional effects
When a Pokémon Terastallizes into the Stellar type, it gains STAB for every move type, but only once per type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive STAB. In Tera Raid Battles, all moves will be boosted without limit.
When Tera Blast or Tera Starstorm is this type, it has a special interaction, and is super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user's Attack and Special Attack stats, however.
Pokémon
No Pokémon are naturally Stellar-type, but they can become Stellar-type through Terastallization.
Moves
No moves are naturally Stellar-type, but Tera Blast and Tera Starstorm can become Stellar-type if the user Terastallizes into the Stellar type.
