Terastal energy (Japanese: テラスタルエネルギー Terastal energy) is a type of energy in the Pokémon world derived from the Tera Pokémon, Terapagos. This energy was researched by Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV during their stay in Area Zero. This energy can cause Pokémon to Terastallize, either naturally or through the use of Tera Orbs, a device created by the professor.
In the core series games
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Over two million years ago, in the Paldea region, a Terapagos got trapped in the Area Zero Underdepths, being the only surviving one from seismic shifts, getting trapped there instead of dying. There it slumbered for years, giving birth to the Terestal energy and filling Area Zero's caverns with large Tera crystals and even a crystallized tree, all filled with that very same energy. Over the next thousands of years, the surviving Terapagos's power spreaded all over the Paldea region, giving birth to the phenomenon known as the Terastal phenomenon, a phenomenon that crystallizes Pokémon, strenghten their moves and that can even change their typings. Along with the phenomenon, special herbs known as Herba Mystica started to grow around Area Zero, they possess special abilities to heal Pokémon and even to make them grow huge, turning them into Titan/Titanic Pokémon.
Ten years ago, Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV started to research on this energy along with a small team with the goal of finding a way to bring Pokémon from other timelines to the present. They eventually managed to use that energy to create and power up Tera Orbs, which they sold all over Paldea, an AI-powered robot with their exact appearance, and a time machine used to bring Pokémon from the ancient pastS/distant futureV. At some point, Glimmet and Glimmora started appearing all over Area Zero and started feeding on the energy and nutrients of the caverns's walls.
In Paldea's present time, many Trainers, Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, and Champions use Tera Orbs to Terastallize their Pokémon during battles. Along with that, Pokémon also started to Terastallize either in the wild or in Tera Raid Battles.
The Teal Mask
Hundreds of years ago in Kitakami, Ogerpon and its human companion travelled all the way there, the man had with him some Tera Crystals from a foreign land. Later on, Kitakami's mask-maker used these crystals to craft four masks for the pair so they can blend in with the other villagers of Kitakami. These crystals on the masks are the reason Ogerpon possesses its Terastallized states and why it is capable of Terastallizing without the use of a Tera Orb.
At some point, somehow, at the top of Oni Mountain, the Crystal Pool was formed on it, a natural lake with many Tera Crystals on its bottom; it's possible one of the Tera Crystals Ogerpon's companion possessed fell into the lake, creating the Crystal Pool, but that's unproven. Legends in Kitakami say that the spirits of the dead can be seen around the pool.
The Indigo Disk
In the Unova region's Blueberry Academy, Briar created the Terarium Core to fill the whole Terarium with Terastal energy, so Terastallization is possible. She achieved this by filling the core with a mixture of Paldea soil and water from the Crystal Pool in Kitakami. Following the events of the story, she tries adding crystals from the Area Zero Underdepths to the mixture, causing the Pokémon in the Terarium to not only Terastallize but also Terastallize with the rare Stellar type.
In Area Zero Underdepths, the Tera Crystals found in Area Zero and Crystal Pool are shown to be much larger and Briar refers to some of them as pure Terastal energy, which blocks their way to find Terapagos. The only way to pass through them, is by taking down wild Pokémon Terastallized with the Stellar Type. During the final battle against Stellar Form Terapagos, the depths were so filled with Terastal Energy, that a Pokémon could be Terastallized several times while Terapagos absorbed it to try and stop the player from beating it. Following these events, the player's Tera Orb (as well as those belonging to Carmine and Kieran) will be overcharged with Terastral energy, no longer requiring them to be recharged between battles.
Later on, if the player goes to Kitakami's Crystal Pool carrying with them, Terapagos and Briar's Book, Terapagos will come out of its Poké Ball and use its powers and the Tera Crystals in Crystal Pool to bring the real Professor SadaS/Professor TuroV from either the past or another timeline, implying this is how "spirits of the dead" are seen around the pool.
Trivia
- The origin of this energy is similar to the origins of Z-Power and Galar particles.
