Wild Terastal Pokémon

(..just for future reference??) I think there should be a distinction between Terrastillized Raid Pokémon, and wild Terrastallized Pokémon (those with a glow).

I believe the latter always have a non-level-up move of their Tera Type, e.g. I have a Grafaiai with X-Scissor, a Growlithe with Dig, a Jigglypuff with Water Pulse, and a Tauros with Wild Charge (all of which are TM moves). Nescientist (talk) 16:41, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

I can confirm that Tera Raid Pokémon do not necessarily have a move of their Tera Type, at least at low levels; I caught a Finneon at Lv. 12 in a Tera Raid Battle and it very much did not have a move of its Tera Type (Ice), although it could learn one via TM. On that note, is it confirmed that Pokémon will never naturally have a Tera Type that they cannot learn at least one STAB move from (Tera Blast notwithstanding)?

As an aside, one important distinction between the two is that Wild Tera Pokémon (and only Wild Tera Pokémon) will have their Terastallization shatter when reduced to 20%^{[citation needed]} health by an attack, and cannot be reduced below that while Terastallized - although damage from Status Effects ignores this limitation, allowing a Wild Tera Pokémon to faint while still Terastallized.

Status effects AND self-inflicted damage from moves like Curse can cause them to faint while Terastallized, for reference. Atrius97 (talk) 16:20, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
