#terastalization
Terastalization wasn't a terrible idea, adding a mechanic that manipulates the Type matchups is a solid choice to freshen up Pokemon. But in practice, it created a system where many Pokemon were made obselete because you could just Tera a better one into any Type you want.

Terastalization pussy extra sharp from all the crystals

The Teraleak revealed that Garchomp has been throwing bribes at GameFreak to give it Dragon Dance for 15 years and so all GameFreak offices have the AC set to 20 degrees F to keep it out. This stopped working with the advent of Terastalization, resulting in the firing of everyone who implemented it.

"Not likely an ancestor, some scribbles mention things like Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Gigantimaxing, and Terastalization. Heck, she even talks about Team Plasma, a guy named Cyrus, and a Champion named Cynthia which she was tutored under."

"...Something tells me this Vic is quite experienced..."

Its hard to say because I know that Mega Evolution is incredibly popular but I really love Terastalization a lot considering how that I’m also not the biggest fan of Legends ZA battle format but the fact that the weather/environment important in Gen 10 reminds me of #Beatbreak tbh. #anipoke #pokemon

Anything with the terastalization effect is supposed to be hard to animate. Fish and birds moving when not swimming or flying also tends to be pointed out. Busier designs I'm sure are a pain, but the Ultra Beasts (especially Blacephalon) looked good in Sun and Moon.

i thought bro just said "celestial" bc terastalization or whatever.
why didn't game freak simply ask iono to sing for the paldea game???
I like Ed Sheeran being like "I never spoke about politics. Because my music is about unity, not division" and then the music is like "la la la la I want to touch your body wow. sexy crazy body wow"

(+) gimmicks introduced in future games (Winds and Waves). This is understandable but frustrating to me because promo material led to the conclusion that we'd be able to play with Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terastalization together in the same format. Hoshino-san also mentions that (+)

The announcement trailer for Pokémon Champions featured multiple "gimmicks" in the same battle. Mega vs. Terastalization.

Per this interview, the impression I get is that *the thing they TEASED IN THE ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER* is "under consideration" at best and probably YEARS(?) AWAY from rollout.

Some real hot takes on the timeline today.

Mega Evolution would be the best if every Pokémon had the capacity for it.

Terastalization is probably the best overall special Pokémon form.

Dynamax requires a whole ass stadium and infrastructure.
Am I supportive of Klara’s self-empowerment take? Absolutely!!! I love how she was willing to let it all out and will always stan an unapologetic queen!

But WHY is nobody talking about her Dynamax take 😭😭😭? Mega Evolution sucks too! Terastallization is CLEARLY superior!

I should honestly have drawn my previous Tera style Artworks without the bright tera hexagon bg like this...

genuinely i think terastalization is good because of the little hats otherwise i'd hate it

I can understand why, it WAS pretty broken, & Terastalization was most likely a factor as well.

But MAAAAN... 🥲

gen 9 lighting up its eyes at the thought that terastalization could solve your problem

Pomona the Hydrapple put out a call for every member of the Guild, past and present, for an emergency mission to assist everyone they could. Over the next few days, other strange events began happening. Mega Evolution, Dynamaxing, Terastalization, you name it. It was happening around town. (5/7)
August 25, 2026 at 7:01 AM
Aesthetically, Mega Evolution, but I think the best one for balancing and fairness would be Terastalization
August 18, 2025 at 6:25 PM
Pokemon Horizons (the show) really wants me to think Terastalization is cool and it just isn't lol.
(I didn't like Dynamax either tbh. being back mega evolution and maybe z moves)
May 4, 2025 at 4:11 PM
Yeah, if Burgh had access to terastalization, it would be so obvious what they'd do LOL
May 26, 2026 at 5:18 PM
Terastalization is pretty mid when dynamaxing exists. Am I right?

" They can cause a phenomenon called Terastalization. Covering a Pokémon in crystals, and even changing their typing.

For myself. . . I use them as a power source. "
⠀
⠀⠀ " So that is the name of this unfamiliar region? Interesting. . . These crystals, I can feel energy in them. Do they do something? " ⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀
⠀⠀
" . . . Tera Crystals. They're of the Paldea Region. "

A brow would be raised. This Pokémon could speak? It seemed to be from Alola, as well.

I feel like I would have liked Gen 9 singles a lot more if Terastalization was given the VGC treatment. Not necessarily open team sheets but just knowing what tera type each mon was to make things way less volatile.

The way they showed off that Mega Evolution and Terastalization is in Pokemon Champions, plus confirming Pokemon Home support means Z Moves and Gigantamax is gonna be possible

and Z-A just...AAAAAA 😭💕💕
