Terastal Form Terapagos is a reptilian Pokémon that resembles an indigo {{wp|sea turtle}}. It now has two patches of voluminous, shiny fur: one near its head, vaguely forming a mane, and the other where its star-tipped tail used to be, vaguely forming three separate tails. The color of its fur varies between a greenish yellow and sky blue. Its hind legs have been fully covered by the fur, while only the toes of its front legs are visible, barely poking out of the mane. The eyes remain unchanged from the Normal Form's ones, but they are seen gleaming with the same hue as the fur. The diamond-shaped earrings and ponytail seem to have merged with Terapagos's head.

Terapagos's shell is composed of crystallized Terastal energy, with eighteen irregular pentagons on its surface, each decorated with symbols of varying shapes and colors in a way to resemble the eighteen [[type]]s. The symbols morph back and forth to abstract shapes. On the center of its shell is a cyan, hexagonal gem adorned with the Terastal symbol, much like the small crystal shell of Normal Form Terapagos. The sides of its shell also have three obtuse pentagons each on the rim of the shell that are a solid light blue color. Terapagos has to float to move in this form. [[Kieran]] assumes Terapagos's Terastal Form is its true form; this, however, is currently unproven.

Normal Form Terapagos enters its Terastal Form when it is either in danger or about to battle. Its shell {{a|Tera Shell|holds the power of every type}}, allowing it to temporarily distort type matchups and render all damage-dealing moves as ineffective.<ref>"[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/terapagos_terastal_form/ Terastal Form Terapagos]" Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website.</ref> The shell then absorbs the move's energy and transfers it back to Terapagos. When using specific beam-like attacks, Terapagos withdraws its hands and head into its shell, shapes its mane in a way it resembles its three tails, flies up, and shoots the beam from the cyan, hexagonal gem in the center of its shell. In this form, it is known as "'''the indigo disk'''", due to its indigo coloration and disk-shaped shell.

Stellar Form Terapagos glows with power and is fully coated by [[Stellar (type)|rainbow-colored]] aura. Its true body is virtually identical to Terastal Form Terapagos and is seen floating above a large, crystal, indigo dome covered in layers of overlapping hexagons. Under the dome, there're four crystals positioned like the legs of a turtle. 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 to float to move in this form.

Terapagos needs to float to move around in this form as well.  


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]]s 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.
