Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has revealed its brand new battle mechanic. The new Pokemon games, due out later this year, will feature the Terastal Phenomenon, a new mechanic that causes Pokemon to literally crystallize and gain a large crown-like jewel to appear on top of their head. Terrastallization not only blings out a Pokemon, it also causes attacks of a certain type to receive a boost. Which type of attack receives that boost is determined by a Pokemon’s “Tera Type.” While most Pokemon have a Tera Type that matches their normal typing (ie, most Pikachu will have an Electric Tera Type), some Pokemon will have deviating Tera Types that offer more strategies in battle.

Players can Terastallize any Pokemon using a Tera Orb, which they assumably receive over the course of the game. Terastallization lasts for the course of a battle and players will need to recharge their Tera Orb

Like previous Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will have a new gameplay mechanic that players can experiment with when they take part in a battle. This new mechanic, Terastallize, transforms a pocket monster into a crystal version of itself with boosted stats.

Each Pokemon in the Paldea region gets a unique gem-like look when subjected to Terrastallizing, and some Pokemon will change type as well. According to the Pokemon Company, there are 18 types that form a wide number of combinations of Pokemon and Tera Types, and players can Terastallize a Pokemon once per battle.

Then, the Tera Orb used for that transformation will need to be recharged by touching crystals overflowing with Terastal energy or by going to a Pokemon Center.

There’ll also be the opportunity to take part in Tera Raid Battles, when four other players team up with your
