Main article: Terapagos (Pokémon)

After Terastallizing into its Stellar Form, Terapagos's power goes overload, causing the the pacific Pokémon to go berserk.

Appearance

See also: Terapagos → Form data

Terapagos has two forms, its regular, Normal Form and its Terastal Form, as well as its Terastallized state, known as Stellar Form. Terapagos transforms into its Terastal Form through its Tera Shift ability and due to being the source of all Terastallization, it causes a significant change to its appearance when Terastallized, unlike most other Pokémon.

Backstory

Over 2,000,000 years ago, Terapagos inhabited the Paldea region in a bygone era along with other Terapagos, however, seismic shifts started to ocur on the earth, dooming its species to the brink of extinction. It was thought that this species went extinct, having been caught up in these seismic shifts, however, it seems that one Terapagos protected itself by changing the energy in its body into hard crystals and going into hibernation deep underground. Terapagos laid dormant in deep caverns in Area Zero, currently known as Area Zero Underdepths.

As thousands of years passed, as Terapagos slumbered, it unintentionally caused crystals to start growing all across the Area Zero Underdepths and Area Zero itself. Thanks to these crystals, Terapagos gave origin to a phenomenon that'd be named Terastallization, an phenomenon that crystallizes Pokémon and can even change their Types. Further more, along with said phenomenon, a new Type was also created from the mix of all Tera Types, which'd be named Stellar Type. It's also heavily implied that these crystals gave birth some rare crystal Pokémon; Carbink, Glimmet and Glimmora. Terapagos's power even caused Pokémon from parallel timelines to be temporarily brought into Area Zero

200 years ago, during an expedition in Area Zero, after the group was attacked by one of the Pokémon brought by Terapagos, a Great Tusk^S/Iron Treads^V, one of the members however, a man named Heath somehow found himself in Area Zero Underdepths and encountered Terapagos while in its Stellar Form. Fascinated by the sight, Heath included Terapagos in his Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V, dubbing its page, "A Disk Pokémon?". Although he is unsure if it was a Pokémon or even alive at all, he names it Terapagos and suspects it is the origin of the Terastallization, which turns out to be true. When the team returned to the surface, most people who read the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V believed everything in it was fake, which included Terapagos itself.

10 years ago, Professor Sada^S/Professor Turo^V went on another expedition to Area Zero, wishing to find a way to bring Pokémon from other timelines to their own due to witnessing these creatures in Heath's Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V. During their research, they find Terapagos in its crystal form and study it and its power, managing to use it to create Tera Orbs, an AI copy of themselves and even a time machine, capable of bringing the Pokémon they desired to see for so long to their timeline, now known as Paradox Pokémon.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

In the present time, copies of the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V can be found in the library of the Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V and in them, there's a page dubbed "A Disk Pokémon?", which includes a sketch of Terapagos in its Stellar Form.

The Way Home

As Nemona, Penny, Arven and the player make their way down Area Zero, they go into the Research Station No. 1 and find a journal written by Professor Sada^S/Professor Turo^V describing their research on Terapagos.

Part 1: The Teal Mask

At some point, a descendant of Heath, Briar, starts to study and prepare herself for another expedition to Area Zero, specifically to find Terapagos and prove to the world that Heath's writings were true. She took part in a school trip to Kitakami made by sister schools, the Naranja Academy^S/Uva Academy^V and the Blueberry Academy, while also attempting to get permission from the Paldean Pokémon League to go do her expedition to Area Zero.

Part 2: The Indigo Disk

Later on, Briar is finally allowed to travel into Area Zero with a small team of students from Blueberry Academy: Carmine, Kieran and the player. They together venture into the Area Zero Underdepths thanks to the Zero Lab's elevator. As they go deeper, they are forced to defeat many Pokémon Terastallized into the Stellar Tera Type in order to remove crystal barriers in their path. Finally, they arrive at the chamber where Terapagos is slumbering; however, determined to defeat the player, Kieran awakens and catches Terapagos with his Master Ball. He is then encouraged by Briar to battle the player, but Terapagos is defeated.

Briar however, believes Terapagos power should be way bigger than that and after looking into the book, she tells him to Terastallize Terapagos convinced that filling it with Terastal energy, will turn it into The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero. This causes Terapagos to transform into its Stellar Form but loses control as result of energy overload. As the cavern starts to crack and collapse due to its power, Kieran tries to recall Terapagos, but it manages to destroy the Master Ball. The player and Carmine challenge Terapagos, but soon Carmine is defeated due to being weakened by the Wild Pokémon earlier outside of the cavern. Terapagos allows the player to Terastallize four times, but it absorbs the energy back, forming a Tera Raid Shield, the first three. The player soon manages to encourage Kieran into joining the battle, so both together succeed in weakening Terapagos enough for it to return to its Normal Form, which allows the player to catch it, saving everyone from its wrath.

After the four return to the Blueberry Academy, Briar apologizes for putting them in danger and reveals that she wrote a book about their expedition, finally confirming Terapagos's existence to the people of Paldea. If the player travels to Kitakami's Crystal Pool with Terapagos in their team and Briar's Book in their bag, it will use its powers to temporarily bring a Sada^S/Turo^V from another timeline to this one. After a brief conversation, the player will trade their copy of Briar's Book for the Professor's copy of the Scarlet Book^S/Violet Book^V, before the professor returns to their own timeline.
