After a series of seismic shifts that took place over two million years ago in the [[Paldea]] [[region]], Terapagos became nearly extinct. One specimen survived and became trapped in what is known in the present day as the [[Area Zero Underdepths]]. It slumbered there for millennia in the form of a large gem. As time went on, Terastal energy began to spread from Terapagos throughout the [[Great Crater of Paldea]], eventually turning into [[Tera Shard|crystals]] and crystallized structures, including a large tree within the Underdepths. Special herbs with healing and growth powers, known as [[Herba Mystica]], also began to grow in Area Zero. At some point, {{p|Glimmet}} and {{p|Glimmora}} started appearing in the crater, feeding on Terastal energy seeping through the walls of Area Zero's caverns. | |||
Over time, explorers and researches traveled to Area Zero in attempts to uncover its secrets. Legends were told of "precious stones", "wondrous fruits", and some manner of valuable treasure. Over 200 years prior to the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Area Zero Expedition team, which included the historian [[Heath]], claimed to have reached the depths of Area Zero. Heath described his experiences in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} including the discovery of Herba Mystica and an apparent encounter with Terapagos in its Stellar Form. 60 years later, Terastal energy began affecting the Pokémon within Area Zero, giving rise to the [[Terastal phenomenon]] in which a Pokémon becomes crystallized, their moves are strengthened, and even their [[Type|typing]] is changed. | |||
10 years prior to the events of the games, Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}}, inspired by Heath's writings, began researching Area Zero with the goal of bringing [[Paradox Pokémon|Pokémon from other timelines]] to the present. Their research into Terapagos and its energy led to the naming of Terastal energy and Terastallization itself. The professor used their research to create the [[Tera Orb]]s, allowing Pokémon to Terastallize outside of Area Zero, which secured funding for further research. The professor eventually used Terastal energy to create an AI-powered robot with their exact appearance and the two succeeded in creating a [[time machine]] to summon Pokémon from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}. | |||
Today, many Paldean {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, and {{pkmn|Champion}}s use Tera Orbs to Terastallize their Pokémon during battles. Pokémon also began to naturally Terastallize outside of Area Zero, either in the wild or in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s. | |||
