Generation IX
When Terapagos changes into its Stellar Form, it uses its hidden powers to eliminate all effects of weather and terrain, reducing them to zero.

Teraform Zero (Japanese: ゼロフォーミング Zero-Forming) is an Ability introduced in Generation IX. It is one of the signature Abilities of Terapagos.

Effect

In battle

Upon Terastallizing into Stellar, Terapagos ability will change to Teraform Zero, it will become immune to weather and terrain effects.

Moves or abilities like Gastro Acid and Neutralizing Gas that suppress abilities will suppress Teraform Zero. Teraform Zero can also be replaced by other abilities through Entrainment, Worry Seed or Doodle. Making contact with a target that has Mummy, Wandering Spirit or Lingering Aroma as their ability will change Teraform Zero to that ability.

Terapagos is the only Pokémon that can have Teraform Zero. It cannot be copied with Trace or Role Play, nor obtained with Skill Swap, Power of Alchemy or Receiver.

Due to how overworld weather works in Gen IX, Teraform Zero will fail to protect Terapagos from its effects.

Outside of battle

Teraform Zero has no effect outside of battle.
