* Before the official reveal of Terapagos, a sketch of its Stellar Form appeared in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, drawn by [[Heath]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.

* Terapagos has several similarities to {{p|Eternatus}}. Both are [[Legendary Pokémon]] that are responsible for the special type of transformation ([[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]] and {{Tera}}stallization) found within their respective origin [[region]]s ([[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]) after entering a state of dormancy sometime in the distant past. They also both have transformations exclusive to them related to these phenomena increasing their [[stat]]s (Eternatus's [[Eternamax]] form and Terapagos's Stellar Form, though the former is unobtainable) and can absorb the energy needed to use these transformations from other Pokémon, thereby rendering them unavailable. They also each have a form that cannot be used by the player in battle with programmed stats (Eternatus’s Eternamax form and Terapagos’s Normal form, the latter of which can be brought into battle but not used due to its unsurpressable ability). Both of them were also introduced in a game which would receive DLC and whose [[game mascot]]s comprise a [[legendary group|Legendary duo]].

* While Terapagos as a species has a 50-50 gender ratio, the only Terapagos encounter is set to always be male. Because of this, a female Terapagos cannot currently be legitimately obtained.

* Terapagos cannot have its {{Tera|Tera Type}} be changed under normal circumstances in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. If [[Cheating|the game is modified]] to force Terapagos to have a different Tera Type, the game will lag significantly while Terastallizing; however, unlike with {{p|Ogerpon}}, the game will not {{DL|Game freeze|Softlocking|softlock}}. {{a|Illusion}} will also not work if either Terapagos or the Pokémon with said ability Terastallize.

* When using specific beam-like [[Move|moves]] (such as [[Meteor Beam (move)|Meteor Beam]]) Stellar Form Terapagos will use the 18 hexagonal gems orbiting its dome to form a symbol and shoot the attack from it. This symbol is the very same one featured in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] expansion's logo.
