Breaking News: Pokémon Horizons Unveils Jaw-Dropping Mystery Pokémon – Prepare to Be Amazed!

Summary

The mysterious Pokémon in Pokémon Horizons has been named Terapagos, confirming its connection to the series' newest legendary.

Terapagos has manifested in both pendant and Pokémon forms, posing a challenge for the Explorers to conceal. The existence of a standard form and a distinct Terastal form raises questions about their relationship and potential triggers. Future episodes of the Pokémon anime may shed more light on Terapagos.

Spoiler Alert: Pokémon Horizons Episode 24 reveals the long-awaited name of the enigmatic Pokémon seen exclusively in this series: Terapagos. This revelation establishes the link between this crystal-clad turtle Pokémon and the latest legendary creature. However, the manner in which this reveal unfolds still leaves several unanswered questions about this unique rendition of Terapagos.

Introduced in the second episode of the series, the crystalline turtle Pokémon made its debut when Liko's pendant transformed into Terapagos, shielding her from an attack. Up until episode 23, the Pokémon remained in pendant form, only reemerging when the team encountered the Titan Arboliva, formerly belonging to the revered Ancient Adventurer Lucius. Astonishingly, following its interaction with Lucius' Galarian Moltres, the turtle Pokémon did not revert back to a pendant and instead persisted as a living Pokémon. Consequently, concealing its presence from the Explorers, who pursue it for unknown motives, has become considerably more challenging.

The New Pokémon is Indeed Terapagos

Upon reaching Liko's grandmother's castle, Liko, Roy, and Friede introduced her to the Pokémon, which she quickly recognized as Terapagos based on its face. However, Liko's grandmother noted that this form of Terapagos seemed different from the one she was familiar with. She then confirmed the connection between Terapagos and Lucius after finding a picture of this form in Lucius' diary, which was associated with Scarlet and Violet's Indigo Disk DLC. This revelation confirmed that Liko's grandmother was indeed knowledgeable about the matter, but there were still unresolved mysteries surrounding this new form.

According to the information provided about Scarlet and Violet, this form of Terapagos is its standard state referred to as the "normal form," whereas the larger and more majestic version depicted in the DLC is known as the special Terastal form. The exact relationship between these forms remains unknown. It is possible that the Terastal form is only active when Terapagos undergoes Terastallization. However, this would imply that this particular form of Terapagos would be exclusive to Scarlet and Violet, as future games are unlikely to feature Terastallization. Alternatively, it is plausible that Terapagos may undergo form changes triggered by certain items or conditions, similar to other Legendary Pokémon, which would prevent it from being permanently locked in a specific state.

The Pokémon Anime May Reveal More About Terapagos

Fans have long believed that this Pokémon and Terapagos are somehow connected, and while this belief seemed obvious to fans, it's always reassuring to have official confirmation. The upcoming Indigo Disk DLC is just a few months away, and it's crucial for the anime to release information about Terapagos before the DLC, in order to avoid spoiling any future events. Now that Terapagos has been officially confirmed as a new Pokémon, fans can eagerly anticipate its graceful Terastal form making an appearance in the anime in the near future.
