Pokédex · IX (Paldea)

Terapagos#1024

Its strongest point is HP — higher than 78% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. In defense it has 1 weakness and 1 full immunity at its disposal. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all. This is a Legendary Pokémon: one per game, no offspring. Very easy to catch, often with the first Poké Ball.

Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP.

Defense and Sp. Def share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.

Which nature to choose

Attack (65) and Sp. Atk (65) are nearly equal, so neither of these two stats can be lowered for free. The price has to be paid in defense — in the weaker one, because Defense does not stop anything here anyway.

  • Lonely +Atk · −Def The boost goes into the stronger offensive stat and the drop into a defense that does not decide anything anyway.

A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Terapagos does not breed. You cannot get an Egg from it — this is how the games treat almost all Legendary and Mythical species.
