The Stellar type (Japanese: ステラタイプ Stellar type) is a type that exists only in Generation IX. Unlike other types, no Pokémon or moves bear it naturally, being exclusive to the Terastallized state of specific Pokémon.

Battle properties

When a Pokémon Terastallizes into the Stellar type, it gains STAB for every move type, but only once per type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive STAB. In Tera Raid Battles, all moves will be boosted without limit.

When Tera Blast is this type, it has a special interaction, and is super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user's Attack and Special Attack stats, however.

Pokémon

No Pokémon are naturally Stellar-type, but they can become Stellar-type through Terastallization.

Moves

No moves are naturally Stellar-type, but Tera Blast can become Stellar-type if the user Terastallizes into the Stellar type.
