Contrary pokemon such as Serperior, Enamorus, Malamar and Lurantis appreciate the stellar tera. That's it

Terapagos is normal because it's basically every type like arceus or sillvally.

I think Pat not realising that STAB moves with Tera stellar are still 50% boost and not 20% proves how convoluted they made stellar type

Fun fact Stellar form Terapagos is not a Stellar type; it's still considered a Normal type that is Terastalized into Stellar. Funnily enough, because the type of Tera Starstorm changes, this actually means that it loses the STAB boost and gets slightly weaker, which is why on Showdown you sometimes see Terapagos running moves like Tri Attack alongside or instead of it.

As I’ve commented on Wolfey’s video: Stellar Tera only shines in Tera Raids, which isn’t necessarily everyone’s desired thing to do but as someone who does like to do those I do notice differences as Tera Raids operate in a very modified way from normal battles, an example being Shell Bell or Leeching attack moves healing you by a lot if you hit major damage far more than the heal you get from OHKO-ing a pokemon in normal battles. As for Stellar itself, the offense boost ya get in that is permanent until your Pokémon faints or the raid ends. On top of that it’s more helpful when you know the type of moves the raid Pokemon you’re fighting has certain coverage that you account for with your Pokemon choice so should a secondary typing was beneficial but is taken out when you Tera into a single typing you’re vulnerable to a move you neutral’d, resisted, or was immune from, so in this case Stellar is helpful in maintaining both to keep your max resistances while maintaining different damage boosts. This ain’t competitive but it’s somewhere where Stellar is useful in for those that care lol

16:06 The way Regice gets oblitersted and Pat's reaction was just hilarious

Honestly, it made one of my favorite pokemon Malamar even more of a threat. I still like that it's an option for playing around online with different sets and more Pokémon. Love your reactions good sir! And seeing you battle with the Boys!

Contrary pokemon are the only ones I think will ever work with Stellar tera

Since im primarily an SMT player all im hearing is that Stellar Tera basically gives you a 1-time Amp skill of each element and Stella Tera Blast is basically a Megidolan (does netural damage to everything) but it downgrades to the next lowest tier wach time you use it (so it goes from Heavy to Mid, to Light to Miniscule). Also instead changing your weaknesses and resistances, you just keep the same one when changing those was the draw of the Tera mechanic to begin with.

The only Mon I can see even slightly benfitting is Malamar. Give Tera blast (contrary will turn the drop I go a buff) Superpower for more stat boosts, psycho cut and night slash for stab. This’ll give it another move for contrary to benefit from. But it would still be better to probably run it Tera fighting.

don't forget, draco meteor lowers your special attack and is a very common and popular move.

Fun fact! In reg G, with one restricted legendary, Terapagos is actually pretty solid! It works really well into the most prominent threat; Calyrex Shadow. It is still early days, so its usage will probably shift over time, but as of now it is quite solid.

imo the best pokemon to use stellar tera is eelektross as it has fantastic coverage moves and with stellar tera it works wel since it naturally removes its only weakness with its ability but if you're worried about neutrilizing gas air balloon might be the way to go

I don't play competitive, but i do remember using Stellar on the Hisuian Zoroark I had on my Disk team, so i did use it for at least a little while

Stellar Tera pelipper is also interesting. It usually uses focus sash similar to those mentioned in the original video, and weather ball potentially changing types in different weathers means that it can actually get multiple stellar boosts per battle (ex. One boost when it’s a water move in the rain, another boost if sun gets set and it becomes a fire type move). Getting a stellar booster Hurricane can also be very strong

It’s only really useful in raids. The Tera STAB boost for all moves stays and you can just pick a mono-type Pokémon that is defensively correct for that fight. Almost completely worthless in competitive unless the Pokémon has contrary.

Now I want to see "You can only Tera Stellar" in then we fight debuff choices, because you really need to figure out what can you do to get something good out of it.

Its kinda cracked for terra raid battles tho

5:30 "I think your all stellar!" Well im offerended

Not gonna lie, I've been loving Contrary Stellar Serperior. Yeah it might be a predictable choice, but it's really fun to use.

The main thing ive been seeing and doing myself is running serperior with choice specs, stellar tera, and tera blast. That contrary can catch people off guard with it. However i do not see this as a pro strat, just a fun one for online battles. Could also run leaf storm with choice specs but tera blast hitting everything neutral when tera stellar is a safer bet

My original thought for how it should work was, limit it to one per team, keep the normal 50% boost, whatever move you select with it you turn into that type right away and can’t switch it anymore, that way one Pokémon is given the chance to change their defensive or offensive types to suit a situation. One per team with open team sheet would make it more balanced as you’d know what they could become, would also lead to more creative vgc moments as people could run moves they never would to get different types.

Why is no one talking about how good Contrary Pokemon actually are with Tera Stellar?

Terapagos is actually pretty nice in VGC as a bulky setup sweeper (legal in the upcoming Reg G and already won a tournament) and has a good niche as a Caly-S answer since it's immune to ghost moves. It also counters weather and terrain strats since it deletes both when it Teras. Load it up with a bunch of support and redirect helping mons so it can get off a calm mind or two and then tera it and watch it erase the opponents (Tera Starstorm is a 120 bp Normal move that becomes Stellar type and deals spread damage after Tera, though Terapagos loses STAB on it) Edit: the info at 29:02 "Terapagos becomes pure Stellar when it terastallizes" is false it remains a pure Normal type like any other tera stellar mon, and keeps its Fighting weakness, also losing STAB on Starstorm (and giving it a single 1.2x boost)

I have a couple pokemon that are stellar type just for tera raids cuase the once per battle dmg boost doesn't apply in those

I feel like what happened with stellar type was that it was very strong during testing at gamefreak and they had to over berf it and during release of the dlc they didn't have time to see if it was balanced but still strong, they were more prioritising not letting it be too strong.

If only stellar made atleast all types neutral damage towards you, no super effective towards you but also get rid of resists too to balance it out, so maybe certain Pokémon with a lot of weaknesses COULD benefit more with stellar

24:40 isn't Urshifu dark type? So its the aame buff as a dark type tera for the first attack?

I mostly use it for Tera raids, makes em real ez

The only thing I do with Stellar is with buffing some of my Raid mons so they have a better matchup than if they were a single-type.

Serperior uses stellar tera greatly due to the fact its ability increases the drops from the tera blast.

I think the only way it can be used an a fun way is in Metronome battles since there is the possibility of using all types :D

I think there's some work with having it on your team in an open team sheet format to give people pause for thought before they defensive Tera. Probably worth having on a team on a pokemon strong enough to not need tera that you otherwise probably wouldn't Tera on like Zacian to pick up confirmed kos on threatened pokemon no matter what

Terapagos actually won an online VGC community tournament already. Turns out Calm Mind on a mon that bulky is pretty good.

I personally think that Terapagos's design is confirmation that 18 is all we're getting

"If terapagos was legal nobody be using him anyway" Terapagos with a 120 Spread move that hit any tera super Effective: 👀

I had no idea about this till now

they might put a support / heal type if there is 2 v 2 pokemon battles where their move set heals, protects and boost partner pokemon. maybe 3v3 poke battles?

Now i'm just wondering, How does metronome deal with stellar type..?

I mean, I don't play, and I didn't thought of it at first, but what about tera blast with contrary?

It could be somewhat ok with assault vest? considering you can't have status moves with it

I would try Expert Belt Porygon Z or Assault Vest [something good] with Tera Stellar before burying the type

Stellar isnt a new type though, to my knowledge it was always advertised as a new Tera type

a contrary terra stellar terra blast mon could be amazing

Stellar Bidoof:"My time has come"😂

Stuff that use assault vest can also benefit from terra stellar, i guess. I use an assault vest baxcalibur and stellar seems atleast feasible.

Is the stellar boost 1 per move, per battle or 1 per move each time its out? Kinda like how protean works now?

My serperior got a great boost from the DLC (haven't used Tera stellar for anything else) 12:34

I remember using tera stellar with deoxys a and thought it was pretty aight but then I realized it only worked once and I sent back to tera dark and tera ghost

I didn't think this would be considered as a 19th type,it feels something completely different

15:54 what stay on field in VCG counter point

Seriously though, Terra type feels like something they should attach to Arceus,while giving him a unique Terastylize of his plates floating around him. Maybe they should do a spinoff of Terastylize for legendary pokemon to unlock their "true power" in battle. 😮

Stellar type is only good to give STAB with coverage moves, but it only works once per type. For Pokemon with lots of coverage, it’s great, but it’s very niche. In VGC, though, it’s best to use regular Tera types

This makes me curious could ditto work with stellar

I realised id never used a stellar type so i was about to boot up Violet and level up one of the ones I caught for the odd tough raid due to typing.... Then he got to the downsides, like bloody lowering your attack on every tera blast. Why did they gimp it SO BAD? Its like they made it for the final battle and thats it :/ i wouldnt even mind if it was useless in competitive if it was at least useful in singleplayers for raids. The pokemon comlany always find a way to screw up huh

How does he do it? He is always reacting to videos I recently watched. How does he manage this! I feel like I’m being stalked 🤣

I already saw this video and now I’m just watching a reaction of a video because the video is good

I didn't even know it existed

I didn’t even know there was a new type lol

I get that competitive is one of the biggest parts of the game, but there is more to the game. Stellar is pretty good for raids because the one-time use penalty doesn’t apply to raids. So there are still instances where it’s nice to have a Pokémon that can run raids without having to worry about switching its Tera type all the time.

It would’ve been cool if stellar type swapped your resistances and weaknesses all together

I didn't even know there was a new type

What if stellar type became a modifier that reduces a opponent's type advantage to 50% that way some pokemon won't be extremely weak but type moves that are weak to the pokemon get increased by 20% or 50%

Not only contrary mons but wat if they made a stellar gem like a normal gem to boost stellar type moves

According to a youtuber, stellar tera type excels in raids. The 1 move per type limitation no longer applies in raid battles. I have not confirmed this. Also terapagos' ability changes its type to resist the 1st attack it gets hit with. Stellar starstorm deals bonus damage to teralized pokemon. All of this points to just being used for tera raids to build stronger competitive teams.

terapogos is actually quite good in VGC regulation G. the reason you think its bad is probably because youre used to it's ability being randomized in then we fight vids, either being a 485 bst mon or a 600 bst normal with a mid stat spread

Yeah, Stellar is really only useful in Playground Format. Contrary Stellar is really the only “good” strategy with it, which means the type is effectively a one-trick Ponyta that gets hard-countered by anything with Unaware. It’ll have its hardcore defenders that really like that one strat, but everyone else can recognize that the type is just straight-up bad.

For everyone who is saying "well, actually 🤓 👆 serperior" he has leaf storm, that lowers (raises with contrary) spatk by 2 stages so its better tera grass

I only give the Stellar type to Pokemon that should natively have it, like Deoxys or Minior. They should have introduced either the Light or Sound type.

The only thing I would change about the stellar type, is give the boosts it already gives every turn. That’s all I would change

Expert Belt or Life Orb for Stellar seem okay. Stellar does suck, obviously, but if you have a mon with great coverage it can do something here and there.

0:04 yes absolutely i do.

On paper, Terapagos is pretty dope, VGC wise, you just have better options

This is the first I've even heard about Stellar type

Maybe assault vest turtle can do something.... Maybe.....

I want to use stellar tera but there's no good reason to, the defensive benefits of teraing into a different type will always outweigh a weak boost to all types, once per type

I use it in raids with Arceus

Stellar Shedinja might work.

Note: Mega-Mawile was and still is the strongest Fairy in Gen 6 Uber's. BUT, to counter that, that's a 1 Pokemon case. Most fairy's are in UU or bellow and in OU there are only 4 Fairy's. Compared to, ya know, the ACTUAL strongest type still being Dragon taking up most of OU, Uber's and even UU. This trend continues to this day where like 1 or 2 Fairy-Type pokemon are in Uber's(Usually Legendaries since Mega's are gone.) and the rest are in UU or bellow. With a few exceptions especially in Gen 9.

Stellar was the answer to 'idk what they are gonna tera into :(((' but everyone wants their own plan and it's very mid besides that one situation and doesn't solve the when.

What that’s good to know it’s not stab on everything

Honestly a sound type would be dumb. It works a lot better as a move mechanic than an actual type since it is completely coverable via the flying type and all the existing sound based moves that already exist. Not to mention sound is just vibrations so it can be covered by almost any type anyway. There's only two that I think would make any amount of sense but I doubt they'll ever happen: Mystic, for the more magic-esque pokemon out there of which there aren't many, but it would serve nicely to differentiate those psychic mons that are only psychic due to a lack of a mystic type. And the other being a data type for all of the manmade mons that are mechanical in nature like porygon and genesect, an artificial type would make sense for them after all. I used to think a light type would make sense too but that's basically what the fairy type is so it's no longer a reasonable request. Actually one more I guess, typeless. I always thought Arceus should have been typeless. But maybe that would be too op.

I do love that terpagos isn't broken its just an innocent reality warping turtle that so happens to control every single type 😅. It's also one of my favorite normal types along with Hisuian Zoroark.

It's so weird that everyone day Tea-Rapa-Gos. Because it's the origin of Tera it would make so much more sense for it to be pronounced Tera-Peg-Os

I only put it on one pokemon, and only for the 'prestige' of it as she's my ribbon master. I don't actually use it at all, even casually.

The only thing in the dlc that changes competitive is ogrepon and incineror

*IT’S MORBILLION TIME*

I was blown away. Didn't even play the dlc, no one talks about this type lol

I never used stellar, because I never encountered stellar shards or raids.

Wait, there's a new typing?

I would like a new type added and/or some retooling of the current type chart in Gen 10 to refresh it, especially since Stellar doesn’t break the game and it feels like GF’s current crew is trying a bit more to make more balanced gimmicks.

Awesome

You could use a tera stellar contrary Pokémon...?

There's Briar talking about "normalizing Terastal phenomenon in other regions" Which makes me believe it will be back in Gen 10. And maybe later but we'll see. Anyway Stellar Type NEEDS a rework (make it regular type first pls)

Stellar is super hit or miss depending on which pokemon you use it with

May not Knockthem out but could damage a lot of Pokémon for a different pokemon to finish the job

awesome

Can you give tarapagos a different Terra type?

I’m a stellar type is just like mega evolution Z moves and gigantamax only parents with one game well I mean my evolution has appeared in five games soon to be six but that’s not the point. the point is is just a gimmick just made for that specific game and it’s not supposed to carry on if they somehow made it permanent at they have to add that gimmick throughout the upcoming Pokémon games

Tera Stellar Arceus for Raids and that’s literally it
