Terapagos (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

[[Heath]] is the one who coined Terapagos's name and discovered it.<ref>[[Heath]]: ''"While separated from the research team in the crater's depths, I found a strange...entity. [...] I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. [...]"'' ([[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], in the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}})</ref> [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} did research on this Pokémon while in [[Area Zero]]. Terapagos assumes Normal Form when not battling and moving around. The [[Area Zero journals]] and the [[Scarlet Book]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Violet Book]]{{sup/9|V}} describe Terapagos, implying that this Pokémon is responsible for the [[Terastal phenomenon]]; this is ultimately confirmed to be the case in the Pokédex. Terapagos appears to naturally cause [[Tera Shard|Tera Crystals]] to grow around it as it slumbers, which gave [[Area Zero]], the appearance it possesses in the present time. It's also heavily implied that Terapagos's crystals caused some Pokémon to be born in [[Area Zero Underdepths]], these being {{p|Carbink}}, {{p|Glimmet}} and {{p|Glimmora}}. Many for a long time believed Terapagos was fake and that Heath made it up, but Briar proved its existence by writing [[Briar's Book|her own book]], explaining the expedition she, [[Carmine]], [[Kieran]] and the player had, which featured Terapagos.  

Terapagos is capable of temporarily bringing [[Human|Humans]], [[Paradox Pokémon|Pokémon]] and even objects from other [[Pokémon multiverse|timelines]] to its own as seen with the Professor Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Professor Turo{{sup/9|V}}, who was brought to [[Kitakami]] thanks to the [[Crystal Cluster|gems]] in the bottom of the [[Crystal Pool]]. When using its timeline-manipulating powers, a purplish mist appears around the affected area which disappears after a while, sending whatever was brought back to its own timeline. The Terastal energy it produces can be used to power up AI-powered robots and "[[time machine]]s", capable of bringing Pokémon from different timelines to its own, similarly to how Terapagos can as well. Terapagos can give a [[Tera Orb]] the ability to Terastallize Pokémon with no charging drawbacks. Terapagos is also the source and creator of the {{t|Stellar}} [[type|Tera type]], a unique type that's a mix of all known types which're on Terastal Form Terapagos's shell. Unlike other Pokémon, it always receives the full benefits of the Stellar Tera Type, even outside of [[Tera Raid Battle]]s.

In its Terastal Form, Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles a light-blue turtle. Terapagos has two light blue eyes with rouge rimming, while the rest of its head is a deeper shade of indigo. Its head is also decorated with small diamond protrusions, with two on top of its head and two more on either side. It has two small hands with three fingers each that barely poke out of its fur. Its fur is voluminous, its color varying with a gradient between a greenish yellow and sky blue. A second patch of fur also appears behind its shell, vaguely forming three separate tails.
