===Unique Terastallized states===
Some Pokémon species have unique Terastallized states, which change their appearance significantly upon Terastallizing, beyond the standard crystallized appearance of Terastallization. There is no official name for this class of Terastallized state.
Some Pokémon species have unique Terastallized states, which change their appearance significantly upon Terastallizing, beyond the standard crystallized appearance of Terastallization. There is no official name for this class of Terastallized state. Unlike other Pokémon, the few ones with a unique Terastallized state are the only ones which cannot have their Tera Types changed in [[Medali#Treasure Eatery|Treasure Eatery]].


{{p|Ogerpon}} and {{p|Terapagos}} are the only Pokémon known to have their own distinct Terastallized states, as well as the only ones which cannot otherwise change their Tera Types. This makes Ogerpon the only Pokémon incapable of being {{type|Stellar}}, and Terapagos the only Pokémon incapable of being a non-Stellar Tera Type. Ogerpon's Terastallized states are not recognized as separate forms, while Terapagos's Terastallized state is recognized as its Stellar Form.
