This unique orb allows a trainer to Terastallize their Pokémon once per battle, transforming its type and boosting the power of moves matching that new Tera Type. This mechanic adds a deep layer of strategic complexity to battles, allowing Pokémon to adapt to unfavorable matchups or enhance their offensive capabilities. The Tera Orb itself is said to be forged from crystallized Tera Shards, which are fragments of the Tera energy that permeates Paldea. Its design often features crystalline facets and a vibrant glow, reflecting the immense power it harnesses. In the games, every trainer receives a Tera Orb, signifying its importance to the region's culture and battle style. It represents the bond between trainer and Pokémon, enabling them to unleash a dazzling, type-altering power that can turn the tide of any encounter. The Tera Orb's introduction has significantly impacted competitive play and the overall lore surrounding Pokémon abilities and regional phenomena.
