💎Terastallization
Terastallization is a battle mechanic that lets you change your Pokemon's type mid-battle, giving it a powerful boost. On PokeKingdoms, you can craft Tera Shards and a Tera Orb through the NPC Terastallization Tessa, located at the Daycare warp.
🔧 How Terastallization Works
When you Terastallize a Pokemon in battle:
Your Pokemon's type changes to its Tera type
Moves matching the Tera type get a damage boost
Each Pokemon can only Terastallize once per battle
The effect lasts for the rest of the battle
To Terastallize, you need a Tera Orb and your Pokemon must have a Tera type set.
Setting a Tera Type
Collect 50 Tera Shards of the type you want
Right-click on the Pokemon with the Tera Shards to change its Tera type
Checking a Tera Type
Right-click on a Pokemon with your Tera Orb to see its current Tera type.
🔮 Tera Orb
The Tera Orb is required to activate Terastallization in battle.
Cost
20 Tera Fragments
Crafted at
Terastallization Tessa (Daycare warp)
Durability
Has limited durability — wears down with each use
The Tera Orb has durability and will wear down each time you Terastallize. Keep an eye on its condition and craft a new one when needed.
You can also right-click a Pokemon with the Tera Orb to check what its current Tera type is.
💎 Tera Shards
Tera Shards are type-specific items used to set your Pokemon's Tera type. There is one Tera Shard variant for each of the 18 Pokemon types. You need 50 Tera Shards of one type to change a Pokemon's Tera type — simply right-click the Pokemon while holding the shards.

💡 Tips
Get your Tera Orb first — you need it before Terastallization does anything, and it only costs 20 fragments
Farm Area Zero — Tera Fragments are only available inside Area Zero, so enter every opening you can. See Area Zero for details
Check your Tera type — right-click a Pokemon with your Tera Orb to see its current Tera type before committing shards
Choose your type wisely — 50 shards is a significant investment, so pick a Tera type that complements your Pokemon's moveset
Watch your Orb durability — the Tera Orb wears down with use, so plan ahead and be ready to craft another
STAB bonus stacking — if your Pokemon's original type matches its Tera type, the damage boost is even stronger
Competitive advantage — Terastallization can turn a bad matchup into a winning one by changing your defensive typing
