420-553: A Pokémon's Tera Type when it Terastallizes. In The Indigo Disk , a new type, called the Stellar type, was introduced. The Stellar type can only be brought out when a Pokémon with this Tera Type Terastallizes. While Pokémon retain their original weaknesses while in the Stellar type, all of their moves will be boosted, but only once; after a Stellar-type boosted move is used, that move loses its boost. It also applies to Pokémon who have two moves of similar typing. For example, if Dazzling Gleam

480-463: A Pokémon's Tera Type while it is Terastallized, as well as dealing physical damage over special damage if the Pokémon's physical attack stat is higher (and vice versa). However, when not Terastallized, Tera Blast remains a Special category Normal-type move. After defeating and catching Terapagos in The Indigo Disk , a new Tera Type is unlocked, called "Stellar".

For example, a Pokémon with the Ability Intimidate will cause the player to encounter lower-level wild Pokémon less often. All Pokémon have six statistics that affect their performance in battle. These are HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. These statistics can be temporarily modified during battle by Abilities, items, and moves. There are also two other statistics, Accuracy and Evasiveness, which are not affected when Pokémon level up. No Pokémon has innately higher Accuracy or Evasiveness than any other, but they can be modified during battle like other statistics. Increasing Accuracy makes

When Terastallized, it grants STAB to all of a Pokémon's moves, but only once per move type.

Tera Blast and Tera Starstorm (Terapagos' signature moves) become Stellar-type moves when

660-426: A benefit on the user before executing the move. Some Pokémon can learn Z-Moves exclusive to their species using a special Z-Crystal.

In Pokémon Red , Green , Blue , and Yellow , both

The Frontier Brains have very powerful Pokémon, often including Legendary Pokémon, making a victory even more difficult than in the main storyline. A Pokémon's type is an elemental attribute determining the strengths and weaknesses of each Pokémon and its moves. These types interact in rock–paper–scissors -style relationships: Pokémon take double damage from attacking moves of types they are weak to and half damage from moves of types they resist. In Pokémon Red , Blue , and Yellow , there were only 15 types: Normal, Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Ice, Fighting, Poison, Ground, Flying, Psychic, Bug, Rock, Ghost, and Dragon.

Evolution is a sudden change in form of a Pokémon, usually accompanied by an increase in stat values.

While Dynamaxed, all of a Pokémon's moves get replaced with a corresponding "Max Move", which are more powerful and have secondary effects, with the exception of Max Guard, which protects against all attacks. Certain Pokémon take on a different appearance when Dynamaxed, known as Gigantamaxing .

Most Tera Types correspond to a main type, but occasionally can be an unrelated type. When a Pokémon Terastallizes, its main type(s) gets replaced with its Tera Type. This also changes the weaknesses of a Pokémon to fit the new typing, and boosts any moves it has of that type. A move called "Tera Blast", learned through TMs, changes type to

3000-432: The player is presented with a choice of one of three starter Pokémon at the beginning of the game. Each starter Pokémon has a different type , being either Grass, Fire, or Water.
