Tera Shell テラスシェル
Tera Shell
Flavor text
Generation IX
The Pokémon's shell contains the powers of each type. All damage-dealing moves that hit the Pokémon when its HP is full will not be very effective.

Tera Shell (Japanese: テラスシェル Tera Shell) is an Ability introduced in Generation IX. It is one of the signature Abilities of Terapagos.

Effect

In battle

This Ability effect may be in need of research.
Reason: Check for other moves/Abilities that can or cannot copy/replace/suppress this Ability. Usual suspects: Gastro Acid, Worry Seed, Role Play, Entrainment, Doodle, Trace, Receiver/Power of Alchemy, Lingering Aroma/Mummy. If Terapagos has a double resistance to a move, (through Soak and Forest's Curse), does Tera Shell cause it to become a single resistance, effectively doubling the damage taken?
You can discuss this on the talk page.

When Terapagos is hit by a damage-dealing move at full HP (that does not have no effect due to type matchups), it will always be not very effective.

Tera Shell has no effect on moves that deal direct damage or typeless damage (e.g., self-inflicted confusion damage, Struggle). However, in the case of the former, the message "It's not very effective..." is still displayed even though the damage was not actually halved.

Outside of battle

Tera Shell has no effect outside of battle.
