(Japanese: テラスタル研修 Terastal Training) is an animated series-exclusive special module taught at Naranja Academy for Trainers from all over the world who want to learn about the Terastal phenomenon. Liko, Roy, Dot, and Ann signed up for this course prior to HZ046.
Integration for new students
As part of the introduction, Clavell and Geeta explain what the Terastal phenomenon and Naranja Academy are and how the training works using a video presentation. Geeta also reveals that only approved Trainers are permitted to use Terastallization and gives each beginning Trainer a Tera Orb.
After this introduction, the current Student Council President gives a tour of Naranja Academy to the new students.
Introductory class
As part of the first class, Dendra explains the remaining concepts of the Training process and a physical class that seeks to exercise Trainers and see if they are worthy of the Tera Orb they have received.
Jacq also participates in the class and gives an additional exercise to each student, which consists of making reports and taking photos of wild Pokémon that each student interacts with.
Gym Leader challenge
As part of the Training, each Trainer is assigned to battle a Paldea League Gym Leader who matches their own aptitude. The allocated Gym Leaders are shown in the app that is installed by Jacq on the Rotom Phone of each participating Trainer.
Each Training session with a Gym Leader can be on two difficulties; basics and implementation.
Basic
In battles in this module, students and Gym Leaders can only use one Pokémon. It is not necessary for the challenger to win the battle to be approved.
