Summary
According to a knownPokemon Scarlet and Violetinsider, Terapagos, the mascot of The Indigo Disk DLC, may be stronger than Arceus. The insider posed the question on social media that pertained to the base stat total of Arceus and Terapagos, leading toPokemon Scarlet and Violetfans speculating that the latter would be the stronger of the two in battle.
While Terapagos has not been released, Arceus has a lengthy reputation forbeing a god-like legendary Pokemonsince its debut inPokemon Diamond and Pearl. This is due to its stats and its ability to learn many moves. Arceus has a base stat total of 720, with each stat point distributed evenly at 120. This makes Arceus the strongest Pokemon by most measures, aside from special forms granted by battle gimmicks such as Mega Evolution and Tera forms. But, a new post from a reputable source gave Pokemon trainers something new to chew on.
With nearly a month to go until The Indigo Disk’s launch, knownPokemoninsider Riddler Khu posted pictures of Arceus and Terapagos and asked which of the two legendary Pokemon would have the higher base stat total (BST). In response to Khu’s latest question, somePokemonfans wondered if this base stat total claim was for the base version of Terapagos, or if it would apply to Terapagos while it is in anew Tera form. With The Teal Mask’s Ogerpon having a special form while Terastallized, it sounds logical that Terapagos would be capable of a similar if not greater feat in battle.
As one of the most reliable insiders forPokemonnews and information, Riddler Khu often lives up to their name and poses riddles to fans, with the answers often concerning which types of Pokemon will appear in future content. Between Walking Wake, Iron Leaves, and other Paradox Pokemon, Khu’s riddles have revealed the existence of Pokemon that came toPokemon Scarlet and Violetvia updates. In the days leading up to its release,leaks about The Indigo Diskhave increased, with Khu providing a majority of them.
Although Terapagos' stat total is unknown at the time of writing, the fact that Tera forms are a thing inPokemon Scarlet and Violetcertainly gives credence to the thought that Terapagos could give Arceus a run for its money. WithThe Indigo Disk launching on December 14, it remains to be seen what other leaks and riddles Khu will drop.
