The Stellar type (Japanese: ステラタイプ Stella 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
Offensive properties of  Stellar-type moves

|---|---|---|
| Super effective (×2): | Not very effective (×½): | No effect (×0): |
| Terastallized Pokémon | None | None |
Uniquely, the Stellar type has no defensive properties, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will always retain its original typing's defensive properties. Offensively, Stellar-type moves are super effective against other Tera Pokémon; in practice, Pokémon that have Terastallized are weak to Stellar-type Tera Blast and Tera Starstorm in addition to any weaknesses of their current Tera Type. As such, outside of Terastallizing, any attempts to change a Pokémon's type into the Stellar type (such as the moves Conversion 2 or Reflect Type) will fail.
Additional effects
When a Pokémon Terastallizes into the Stellar type, it gains increased STAB for every move type, but only once per type; 2× for original types and 1.2× for every other 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. In its Stellar Form, Terapagos similarly retains this boost at all times.
Stellar-type Tera Blast gains the drawback of lowering the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats by one stage, and Stellar-type Tera Starstorm changes to hit multiple opponents. Other moves cannot be changed into the Stellar type.
Pokémon
No Pokémon is naturally Stellar-type. All Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet except Ogerpon can gain the Stellar type through Terastallization, but defensively, they are treated as their base type.

Moves
These moves are naturally Normal-type, but they become Stellar-type and have special changes if the user Terastallizes into the Stellar type.
| Gen | Move | Category | Contest | Power | Accuracy | PP | Target | Description | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IX | Tera Blast | Special | 100 | 100% | 10 (max 16) |
|
Inflicts damage with the user’s Attack or Sp. Atk stat— whichever is higher. Super effective against Terastallized targets. This lowers the user’s Attack and Sp. Atk stats. | ||||||||||
| IX | Tera Starstorm | Special | 120 | 100% | 5 (max 8) |
|
With the power of its crystals, the user bombards and eliminates the target. When used by Terapagos in its Stellar Form, this move damages all opposing Pokémon. | ||||||||||
