The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} imply that Terapagos is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]], which is ultimately confirmed to be the case in the [[Pokédex]]. With the power of its crystals, Terapagos can [[Tera Starstorm|bombard its foes with countless star-shaped projectiles]]. Terapagos also has the ability to alter timelines in some capacity, as seen both in the games and in the anime, and is able to bring [[human]]s and objects either from other points in the [[Pokémon world]]'s timeline<ref>[[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}}: ''"[...] It sends Poké Balls to a different point on the timeline to catch Pokémon there, and it can then draw them back here to the present."''

When using its timeline-altering powers, a mist appears around the affected area; once it disappears, whatever was brought is sent back. The true limits of this power are currently unknown, but seems to affect humans and objects differently, as the player was able to keep the copy of the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}} owned by the professor after the encounter at [[Kitakami]]'s [[Crystal Pool]]. Due to the Terastal energy it produces, Terapagos appears to have some sort of connection to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] and is implied to be responsible for allowing advanced technologies, such as the professor's sophisticated AI and the "[[time machine]]", to exist in spite of human limitations.

Terapagos can give a [[Tera Orb]] the ability to Terastallize Pokémon with no charging drawbacks.<ref>[[Briar]]: ''"[...] I think it might be because your orbs were directly exposed to the energy from Terapagos. Kieran and Carmine say that ever since the underdepths, they've been able to Terastallize their Pokémon without charging their Tera Orbs."'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]: [[The Indigo Disk]])</ref> Terapagos is also the source and creator of the {{t|Stellar}} [[Type|Tera Type]], a unique Tera Type that contains the powers of each and every type.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/stellar_tera_type/ Master the Stellar Tera Type—the 19th Tera Type!]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref> Unlike other Pokémon, it will always receive the full benefits of the Stellar Tera Type, even outside of [[Tera Raid Battle]]s.
