Stellar (type)
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 a Pokémon.
Battle properties
Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other games outside the core series.
Offensive properties of  Stellar-type moves
| ||
|---|---|---|
| Super effective (×2) | Not very effective (×½) | No effect (×0) |
| None | None | None |
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will always retain its original typing's Defensive properties.
Additional effects
When a Pokémon Terastallizes into the Stellar type, it gains increased STAB for every move type, but only once per type. After a move is used, no other moves of that same type will receive increased STAB from being Terastallized. In Tera Raid Battles, all moves will be boosted in this manner 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.
When Tera Starstorm is this type, it will also be super effective against Terastallized targets. Unlike Tera Blast, there will be no drawbacks to this.
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 and Tera Starstorm can become Stellar-type if the user Terastallizes into the Stellar type.

Trivia
- This is the only type to be exclusive to a transformation mechanic. Likewise, it is the only type a Pokémon can not be without the mechanic.
- Written in katakana, ステラタイプ (Stellar type) is an anagram of テラスタイプ (Teras Type), the Japanese word for Tera Type.
- As Ogerpon cannot change its Tera Type, it is the only Pokémon that can never become the Stellar Type.
