Talk:Terapagos (Pokémon)

In The Anime

Should we add an in the anime section because of the baby-like terapagos in Pokemon Horizons? JackJackAttackG (talk) 18:26, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

It's implied to be a different Pokémon so we're waiting for its name to be revealed. Landfish7 18:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

Galápagos a is Spanish for Turtle???

As a new user of course I can't edit the page but I highly suggest checking your Spanish classes or translator to see that Turtle is Spanish is Tortuga, but the etymology for Galápagos comes from preroman Spain-Spanish if you are trying to refer to the tortoise as in RAE said ". m. Reptil del orden de los quelonios, parecido a la tortuga, con membranas interdigitales." And Galápagos aren't a Península, they are completely Islands that are not connected to the mainland of Ecuador. Hooshico (talk) 15:20, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Name origins aren't something I specialize in but a look does confirm that you are right, checking with my fellow admin to see about changing it.--BigDocFan, Junior Admin Bulbapedia (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

The translation of "Galápago" according to Spanish Wiktionary (quote): Cualquiera de varias especies de tortugas acuáticas. "Galápagos" is plural, hence "turtles". also, no one is saying the Galápagos Islands are a peninsula in the article. thank you. Anzasquiddles 2222(:D)SSSS (talk) 15:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

I am quoting and official Spanish language entity, as RAE, Real Academia Española. Hooshico (talk) 15:47, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Should this article be categorized under Category:Pokémon that appeared in the anime before their game debut?

I wanted to take this to a discussion before I took action, but given that the Indigo Disk is still months away, should the category be applied? Drmanny (talk) 15:28, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Sure, i think it counts. Anzasquiddles 2222(:D)SSSS (talk) 02:00, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Old page history

A parallel version history of a page name "Unnamed Pokémon" is preserved at:

Talk:Terapagos (Pokémon)/Unnamed Pokémon

That article's content has since been merged into this article, after it came to light that that unnamed Pokémon was in fact Terapagos. (That article had no accompanying talk page to be preserved.) Nescientist (talk) 14:59, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Small grammar edit

"Each feet has three toes" should either be "Each foot has three toes," or "Each of the feet has three toes."

Zanbabe (talk) 10:46, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Fixed, thank you! Nescientist (talk) 11:17, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

Also, it should be "long sought", not "long seeked".Dr. Victor Vasconcelos (talk) 18:03, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

It's not "implied" that Terapagos is responsible for Terstalization

Briar's copy of the Scarlet/Violet book flat out says that Heath "tentatively named this creature (responsible for Terastal) Terapagos." Thwackeyrabootdrizzile (talk) 22:01, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Quote from the book: "I have tentatively named this creature Terapagos. I suspect that its very body is made up of the key material that causes Pokémon to shine brightly and crystallize." So Heath only "suspects" it to be the case. Anzasquiddles 2222(:D)SSSS (talk page) 13:37, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Stats

Either the Base forms Stats or BST is wrong. HenryWong122 (talk) 14:04, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Stellar Form Terapagos is not actually Stellar-type

Just pointing this out for any page that lists Stellar Form Terapagos. Stellar Form Terapagos is still considered Normal-type. Just look in the in-game Pokedex in SV or either version of HOME. All of them list the Stellar Form as Normal-type. In addition, you can check the Battle Status menu in the middle of a battle after Terastallizing Terapagos or any Stellar Pokemon; you can see that, unlike traditional Terrastallization, the Pokemon still retains their base typing even after Terastallizing. --Mr. Bonding (talk) 23:27, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Possible EVs?

Am I misunderstanding, or is it not possible to get EVs from Normal-form Terapagos, due to it automatically becoming its Terastal form? Jdrawer (talk) 03:02, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Shiny Stellar Form Model not displaying

Thought I'd mention that in the sprites/models section at the bottom of the page, the HOME model for shiny stellar Terapagos is actually the normal model, not the shiny one. -->>ArCeUsMaN<< (talk) 01:26, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

This is intentional, Shiny Terastal form is the same as non-Shiny. -Minibug (talk) 01:30, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Adding Terapagos (game)

The NPC appearances section is getting a bit long. Can we convert it to a (game) article, as seen with Koraidon, Miraidon, Ogerpon, and Pecharunt? CyberDragonM (talk) 12:55, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Is Normal Form Terapagos the only Pokémon with programmed stats that cannot be fought or used legitimately?

Something I think should be added to the Trivia section - While Normal Form Terapagos has its own stat spread different from its other two forms, the form and as such those stats can never actually participate in battle (due to Tera Shift transforming it immediately and not being suppressible) without hacking the game to change its ability. There are obviously other Pokémon with forms that can't be used in battle, like Eternamax Eternatus or Neutral Xerneas; but the former can be battled in that form with those stats in its boss fight, while the latter doesn't have programmed stats different from Active Xerneas'. So is this a quality unique to Normal Form Terapagos, or is there another example(s) of this that I'm forgetting?--Necrozman (talk) 17:55, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Unfortunatley not, because Eternal Flower Floette has programmed stats. BorealRookidee (talk) 20:56, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

You’re missing a very obvious reference in origins

There’s an old Japanese tale called Urashima Taro.

The story goes that one day a fisherman named Urashimo Taro saved a rainbow shell turtle from some mean kids. As thanks the turtle takes him to the underwater palace of the dragon king (blueberry academy). He stays there for a few years but then gets homesick. Before he leaves they give him a box and tell him not to open it. When he arrives back home he discovers that what was a few years to him has been a hundred years on land. And all of the people he knew are dead. In despair he opens the box and he immediately ages into an old man. That last part is reflective of how Terapagos starts as a small child turtle and turns into a larger white bearded turtle when it enters battle. Side note: this tale is often used in the same way English speakers use Rip Van Winkle Dragoncat (talk) 00:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Terapagos Dreamworld art

I Porpose using the one artwork from Dreamworld for Stellar Terapagos cause it honestly look a lot better and less blurr and its one fo the few good artwork that is not from Home. This picture was the orginal download before second one's back ground or the current one [1] or a:File:1024Terapagos-Stellar Dream.png . I think it would be better and maybe not always relat on HOME artwork outside of sharing on like form pages. But this is my take and suggestion on matter.--Jacob9594 (talk) 03:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Biology or maybe Trivia topic about the eyes?

In-game Terastal and Stellar form have the same eyes, but this is actually inconsistent with the artworks of Stellar form that have been released where it's depicted with fully blue sclera instead of white sclera like Terastal Form and Normal Form. I think it should be brought up though we could wait for the anime to show it so more people know about it. JadedArts (talk) 19:33, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

From the artworks we currently have, this is true. (TerapagosexStellarCrown170.jpg, 1024Terapagos-Stellar Dream.png, Art Life 20240718 Terapagos.jpg, Stellar Form Terapagos TCG.png, TerapagosexStellarCrown173.jpg) I believe this should be added but I'm curious on others thoughts on this.
