Stellar Form Terapagos glows with power and is fully coated by [[Stellar (type)|raimbow-colored]] [[Terastal energy]]. Its true body is virtually identical to Terastal Form Terapagos and is seen floating above a dome-shaped energy field. The gem on the center of Terastal Form's shell has expanded outward into the shape of a crown bejeweled with rhombuses of varying colors. Atop of the crown-like structure lays a miniature version of Normal Form Terapagos and, above it, the Terastal symbol. Hexagonal gems orbit around Stellar Form Terapagos, each representing one of the eighteen types and bearing their respective icons and colors.

Terapagos has taken this form at least three times throughout history: in ancient times, during the Area Zero expedition (200 years ago), and in the present time. This form is said to resemble the world as ancient [[Human|humans]] saw it, supposedly due to the dome beneath it. Meanwhile in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}}, [[Heath]] describes it as an entity, unsure if it is a Pokémon, or even alive to begin with, however, he claims that viewed as a whole, it resembles a mysterious, brilliant disk, and even looks like a planet floating in space. Its Terastal energy becomes so abnormally amplified that it actually appears to lose control and lash out due to its energy output. Due to having so much power, Stellar Form Terapagos also risks wreaking havoc to [[Paldea]]'s ecosystem. While in this form, it was shown to resist going back into even the most powerful of [[Poké Ball]]s, the [[Master Ball]], destroying it in the process.

Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of absorbing Terastal energy from other Terastallized Pokémon, causing their Terastallized state to be undone earlier than intended. With it, it can create multiple Tera Shields and even change its type amidst battle, though this seems to be limited to only three times per battle. The hidden power within Stellar Form Terapagos is capable of {{a|Teraform Zero|reducing to zero all effects of weather and terrain}}. It has shown to be capable of shooting huge beams of pure Terastal energy at its foes. When using specific beam-like attacks, Stellar Form Terapagos will use all of its hexagonal gems in a certain formation to shoot the beam from it. In this form, it is also known as "'''the hidden treasure of Area Zero'''" due to its status as the secret treasure that was sought by the Paldean empire.

*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 [[region]]s of origin ([[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 duo]].

**In the files for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, Terapagos is internally referred to as "kodaikame", which, coupled with the anime's mistake, implies that this may have been its prototype name.
