In its Terastal Form, Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. Terapagos has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming, while the rest of its head is a deeper shade of indigo. Its head is also decorated with small diamond protrusions, with two on top of its head and two more on either side. It has two small hands with three fingers each that barely poke out of its fur. Its fur is voluminous, its color varying with a gradient between a greenish yellow and sky blue. A second patch of fur also appears behind its shell, vaguely forming three separate tails.

Terapagos's shell is made out of crystallized energy, with eighteen irregular pentagons on top decorated with differently colored symbols that resemble all eighteen [[Type#Icons|type icons]], which regularly morph back and forth to abstract shapes. On the center of its shell is a small hexagonal protrusion, with a white hexagon on top of it with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of the protrusion, slightly resembling the icon for the Terastal phenomenon. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell that are a solid light blue color.

On the center of its shell is a small hexagonal protrusion, with a white hexagon on top of it with triangular extensions on each corner that connects it to the edges of the protrusion, resembling its Normal Form's shell's top. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell that are a solid light blue color.


Terapagos transforms into Terastal form when it is either in danger or about to battle. It can use the Terastal energy created within its body to produce crystals on its exterior, with these crystals, Terapagos [[Tera Shift (Ability)|clads itself in a larger, sturdier shell, thus entering its Terastal Form]].<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_terastal_form/ Scarlet and Violet Site | Terstal Form Terapagos]</ref> In the [[HZ033|anime]], Terapagos's transformation in its Terastal Form is shown in more detail; Terapagos absorbs and crystallizes the energy around itself, causing its shell to grow and reshape itself, covering most of its body, leaving only its front feet, head and tail out, then the ring rubs on its neck and legs turn into fur that grow around its head into a mane and then around its tail into three, new, furry tails. [[Kieran]] assumes Terapagos's Terastal Form is its true form, however this is currently unproven. When using beam-like attacks, Terapagos pulls its hands and head into its shell, transforms its mane into a shape that resembles its 3 tails, flies up in the air, and shoots the attack from the diamond in the center of its shell. It can use the power of its crystals to [[Tera Starstorm (move)|bombard star-shaped energy projectiles at its foes]]. Terastal Form Terapagos's shell has the powers of each type, which allows it to [[Tera Shell (Ability)|temporarily distort Type matchups]], making all damage-dealing moves not very effective. In this form, it was known as "'''The Indigo Disk'''" due to its color and shape. When Terapagos absorbs enough Terastal energy or is Terastallized by a [[Tera Orb]], it will transform into its Stellar Form, which has the {{t|Stellar}} [[Tera Type]].

In its Stellar Form, Terapagos glows with power and wears armor made of Terastal energy. Stellar Form Terapagos emanates an energy field in the shape of a dome beneath itself, surrounded by crystals bearing each of the type icons with their respective colors. The rest of its body takes on a rainbow-like hue, and its central crystal grows into a crown-like structure covered in jewels corresponding to the type icons, topped with a miniature version of its Normal Form and the icon for the Terastal Phenomenon floating above it.

This form is achieved when its Terastal Form is exposed to a Tera Orb.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_stellar_form/ Scarlet and Violet Site | Stellar Form Terapagos]</ref> Stellar Form Terapagos is said to be at its full power. Heath was the one who discovered this form. This form is said to resemble the world as ancient humans saw it. In his journal, Heath described it as looking like a planet floating in space. There was a rumor that is resembled a picture in the Scarlet Book/Violet Book, under the chapter titled “A Disk Pokémon?”​. Terapagos has taken this form at least 3 times through history: in ancient times, 200 years ago, and at the present time. This form of Terapagos has an amount of Terastal energy amplified to the highest it can get. Terapagos appears to completly lose control in its Stellar Form in some cases seemingly due to energy overload, becoming enraged and attacking everything around it, due to having so much power in this form, it risks also causing havoc to [[Paldea]]'s ecosystem. It's so powerful in this form that when Terapagos transforms into it, it cracks the ground around it, which creates a risk that the Area Zero Underdepths might collapse. In this form, Terapagos has been shown to resist going back into a powerful [[Poké Ball]] like the [[Master Ball]], destroying it, being the only Pokémon known to be capable of doing that.

Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of creating multiple Tera Raid Barriers by absorbing Terastal energy from other Terastallized Pokémon, causing their Terastallized state to be broken in the process, but it can only do so three times in a battle.  It was seen also temporarily changing its type during battle. It possesses [[Teraform Zero (Ability)|a hidden power]] capable of eliminating all effects of weather and terrain, reducing them to zero. It's shown to be also capable to shooting huge beams of [[Terastal energy]] at its foes, although {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} were capable of taking it without taking much damage. When using beam-like attacks, Terapagos will use all of its Type icon crystals to form a symbol and shoot the attack from it. In this form, it was known as "'''The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero'''" due to its status as the secret treasure that was sought by the Paldean empire and by its king in particular. In this form, it was also referred to as "'''A Disk Pokémon'''" by [[Heath]] in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} he wrote.
