Starting with Generation VI, we got Mega Evolution. This was just the beginning. Soon, Z Crystals and Dynamax followed. Now, in Gen IX with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, we have Terastallization.
What is Terastallization?
It’s Gen IX’s big thing. Once in a battle, a Pokémon can change its type. It can either switch to a different type or enhance its current one.
Each Tera type has a unique jewel. This jewel appears on the Pokémon’s head when it Terastallizes.
Fans had a lot to say about these Tera jewels at first. Want to know more about them? Keep reading. We’ll cover all Tera type jewels in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. We’ll also look at their battle effects.
