The steller type is not actually a type. It is only called "type" by name. But it does not behave like an actual type mechanically. It is a temporary power-up like a Z move, not a type.
Considering the whole theme of the indigo disk dlc, I'm almost certain that is exactly the inspiration for the stellar type, and now that the connection has made it makes alot more sense to me
It's as if the type gems were actually small tera shards that were scattered across Unova. That's why they could only boost the moves one time, because you literally need 50 tera shards to change your Pokemon into a specific tera type. Hmm, i think we just discover some easter eggs here.
I feel like another group of Pokemon that the Stellar type works well with are pokemon that already have a great defensive type and also have a lot of type coverage options to take advantage of. Archaludon is the first example that comes to my mind. Steel/Dragon is great defensively, and has a signature electric move it could appreciate the extra boost on.
Feel like a way to buff the Stellar Type to make it more useful to use on more Pokemon but not Legend Plate Arceus broken would be either upon losing the x2 Tera Boost, you're able to switch out and come back in to bring back the x2 Tera Boost or boost the power of the Tera Boost from x2 to x3 to make it a valuable reason to lose the boost after one move. But if it should be buffed more defensively, much like how the Stellar Type deals neutral damage to every normal type, you also are hit for neutral damage which can be both an upside and a downside depending what Pokemon you use.
I love using it on my Ditto coz I couldn't think of a better tera type for it but sadly there's a bug where Ditto won't use impostor or transform anymore if I switch it in when it already has the stellar tera type.
I'm actually more satisfied that a type that got locked into the DLCs didn't ended up overshadowing all other tera types at all. Being a decent utility tera type that is extremely good on some pokemon but worse for others is the perfect place i want Stellar to be.
Stellar type Defensively it doesnt do shit. Removing your 1 type and getting an additional STAB boost like Fairy Terra Fluttermane is a good way to play both offense and defense as you lose your Ghost type weaknesses while getting a fairy boost. Alternatively, you can Fairy type Terra a Bloodmoon to get a STAB Moonblast for coverage and suddenly, instead of being weak to fighting, you will resist it. Stellar type not changing your type is kinda.....meh...I mean, offensively it isnt useless but defensively... nah....pass.
The Stellar Type is the youngest of the Totem Pokemon, and for this, he is not officially called a True Totem. Similarly, the “???” type (which I’ll call the Paradox or Anomaly Type) whose Totem position is occupied by FoldOne, is also not a Totem. The other 18 However, they are totally Totem Pokémon. And as fate would have it, 17 out of the 18 would Die, and their forms contained in Magical Crystalline Coffin shaped Plates. The only one of the 18 who wouldn’t die is the Totem of Normal Type, and that’s because he was charged by the other 17 to care for Arceus (who before than was just called The Creature of the Egg) and it was the Normal Totem who named Arceus. Finally, once Arceus had come to age, the Normal Totem went into a deep sleep, and so Arceus was left to do the whole World Building.
I don’t care if Stellar is bad competitively bad, I will not accept Terapagos slander, it is very cute and pretty cool in concept (I’m referring to the thumbnail)
My prediction for the video is that your going to say it’s bad from what I’ve seen from the thumbnail 0:41 but it’s currently being judged by it’s defensive abilities stellar Pokémon can that are bulky can easily wall out Pokémon like a Tera flutter mane and swing the game back in your by preventing ko’s
My opinion is that It was Made to be the Most Mid option. Gamefreak looked at everything and made something that cant be resisted nor does super effective (Unless terraziled). Its just mid
It's mid. Contrary Pokemon thrive from it. Tera Raid pokemon thrive from it. VGC and Singles don't really need it for 90% of the mons. It's genuinely mid. Nothing else. Also btw Terablast becomes base 100 power if you tera Steller.
