 hello friends welcome back to the channel hope you're all doing great in today's video we are going to be taking a closer look at the brand new gimmick that we now know a bit more information about after that third trailer last week in the pokemon presents but before we get into anything today just a quick reminder we are on the road to hitting 30k subscribers here on the channel so thank you so

you enjoy this sort of content so i do more of it and also help share it with youtube so they can share it with other people like you for them to enjoy it as well so like i said with the trailer three dropping last week in that pokemon presents we've got a bunch more information about scholar and violet but we also got i think the biggest thing was that reveal of the new gimmick in how it kind of works in game we still don't know all of the details about it but we can surmise enough about the information that's been released in the trailer and also corresponding information on the pokemon official scholar and violet website to have a better understanding of how it's going to work and interact in the games so we know it's called the terrestrial phenomenon in the pal daya region every pokemon is going to have a terra type attached to it so you're going to have every pokemon when it's caught or obtained in game will also have a terra typing how we identify that straight away in game in boxes we don't know yet it's not been revealed but we do know in battle once you have access to the terra orb which is an item that you need to use this new gimmick you're going to be able to terrestrialize your pokemon in your game to a new typing that we know as well it's been confirmed that every pokemon can have one of 18 different terra types attached to it so there is not a certain type that is attached to others or a small pool that they can be every pokemon can be one of 18 different types as it's terra form the other information that we know is when you do use the terra transformation on a pokemon that it doesn't have a time limit attached to it when you want to use this gimmick in game is up to you so at any time during a battle on your turn choose to use the terrestrialized mechanic on your pokemon and transform it then and there or you can wait until a future turn to do it but once you do use it it does change your pokemon typing we know that has been confirmed and it doesn't have any time limits on it unlike things like dynamax and jugantamax that we've seen in pokemon sword and shield so it works a little bit more like mega evolutions not like z moves not like dynamax that are tied to a certain period and then the gimmick is going to fade after that and go away like we mentioned you're going to need a terra orb to be able to utilize this new gimmick in game and what you can see from the trailers here is that the trainers are actually using this terrestrialization on their startup pokemon at quite low level as well so it's been theoryed that you will get this terra orb quite early on in your playthrough this alongside leaks and rumors that we've had as well in regards to this item kind of meaning that we're going to get it early on in our playthrough so we'll be able to use it throughout our whole gameplay obviously nothing has been confirmed yet but it does look like that is going to be the case now the terra orb as well once you do receive it it is stated on the pokemon scarlet and violet website that it will need charging for you to be able to use it in battle so you're going to be able to charge it by going around the pal dea region uncovering these different crystal shaped objects that emit a terra energy that will then charge your terra orb to allow you to use it in battle so that makes a lot of sense the terra crystals as well are also tied to terra raids so each crystal around the pal dea region is going to be different colored and each color will relate to a corresponding type so we've got a green crystal here which corresponds to the grass typing now the terra raids and terra crystals are going to act a lot like what we've seen the dynamax raid dens in pokemon's sword and shield so what i would expect is you're going to go up to a crystal it'll be a specific color indicating what the terra type of the pokemon in this crystal will be and there'll be a set number of pokemon available within this crystal you'll be able to go in battle whatever pokemon is available as you can see in the trailer here it is a maryl and it's terra type because the crystals green is going to be grass typing so that is going to be the thing there's going to be obviously a different color crystal for every single type around the pal dea region and i would imagine there's going to be different pokemon available in the crystals like we've seen in the dynamax raids i've seen nothing being confirmed yet we're kind of just guessing from the information that we've got but that would be indicating of how to obtain different terra type pokemon in different terra crystals as well as getting this terra energy to charge your terra orb to allow you to use it in game the other thing about these terra crystals is obviously the terra raids and in the terra raids you're going to be able to obtain pokemon with those rarer terra types there are going to be pokemon that are available probably in the wild with more common terra types they've already mentioned like eevee with the normal typing and flying typing but in these terra raids that you're going to get through these crystals you're going to be able to obtain more rarer terra typings for specific pokemon so we saw in the trailer we saw god of all with water typing as its terra type and there was a dragon eye i think that flashed up on one of the parts of the trailer with fire typing so you're going to have different typings for different pokemon they're going to be available predominantly the rarer ones in these terra raids and what does terrestrialization mean well we had to confirm that it changes a pokemon's type when it does terrestrialize in battle meaning that its typing completely changes into a single typing and when it does terrestrialize as well it boosts whatever the terra typing is for that pokemon so its moves are stronger so you had for your cocoa there its terra type was fire so it gets an additional boost onto its fire type moves when it does terrestrialize in battle so if you see from this example here midnight tech kesh 2 is there handle on twitter posted this really good diagram of how we kind of perceive the terrestrialize mechanic to kind of work we've got the magnumite here before transforming going into that terra form it has its normal electric and steel typing which we know it has always had and it will still have that stab or same type attack bonus for all of its electric or steel type moves because they are related to its actual typing now if magnumite has a terra type of normal here like you can see it when it terrestrializes it will lose its steel and electric typing and turn into a normal typing obtaining all the strengths and weaknesses of normal typing along with that and then gaining that same type attack bonus the stab boost to any normal type attacks that magnumite has access to out of its pool of form moves that you've taught it then the final example is magnumite with an electric terra type and uses the mechanic to become a pure electric type will lose its steel typing but as its base typing was already pot electric it now becomes a pure electric type and gains an additional stab boost so that same type attack bonus boost which we expect to go from 1.5 which it currently sits at two times when it does use that terrestrialization so if its base typing is the same or has a dual base typing and one of those is the same as its terra type when it does terrestrialize in battle it gains an additional stab boost because it already has an existing one from its base form if that makes sense so this diagram pretty much sums up obviously nothing being officially confirmed just conjecture from what we had revealed and spoken about in the trailer so far but that's how we're imagining it to work the other way to look at it is if you had a high dragon say with that dragon in dark typing and it has a steel terra typing you can then use the terrestrialize ability in battle and then it will lose the dragon in dark typing and gain the steel typing and gain a stab boost for steel typing like a steel type would have normally as well but you just want to look at it like if you are terrestrializing in battle it will change its type and it will again all the benefits of being that new type as well but you're gonna have to have a move there to kind of benefit from that luckily how dragon learns something like flash cannon in previous generations it has so it should be able to utilize that when it does turn into its steel terra type in game or in battle so we mentioned before about terra raids as well terra raids are kind of the new dynamax raid will be a terra raid now they're pretty much set up the same although there are a few differences going into these you know obviously they're not going to be dynamax pokemon they're going to be terra pokemon they're going to have different terra types as well depending on the color crystal that you go in on but you're always going to be kind of partnered up with three other trainers now these trainers can be from trainers that you have from online or locally or they can just be three NPC characters that are in game if you want to do on your own and not via any sort of communication it also states as well that there'll be a lot of co-op strategies and as you can see here and one of the clips from the trailer all of the pokemon that are attacking the god of war terrestrializing battle but they all become the grass terra type so it might be a case of where one has access to the grass terra type but all of the corresponding partner pokemon can use that typing and then kind of take advantage of the the the more positive type matchup in that terra battle i don't know that's my thinking about it but it doesn't appear as though it's turn based they do specifically say you can attack continuously in the battle to support your teammates which makes it sound a bit more like real time battling so we'll get hopefully more information on that soon but it does sound like that is the way that it's going with the terra rate now we had a bunch of questions as well to ask about the terrestrialization which we're going to cover in this one once a pokemon terrestrializes will it gain a new attack now i don't think it will i think from the footage that we've seen from the trailers it doesn't look like when pokemon terrestrializes in battle that it gains any new attacking moves or options in regards to its terra typing i think if we look at the trailer here when this event Pikachu that you get for early pre-ordering of the game you can see it has the flying type as its terra typing but it has access to fly as well to take advantage of that flying type when it does terrestrialize so it doesn't gain a new move it's not shown here in the trailer so my best bet would be that you don't get another new move but there might be some added bonuses in the terra rates that we do get because there is new move animations when you see the pokemon attacking and whether or not that's based off the fact that it is real time attacking of that pokemon the terra pokemon or whether or not it's just something in the terra rates itself i don't know but i wouldn't have thought from the information that we got already that you're going to get a new attack added on to those four attacks that you already have as a terra move is this limited to one pokemon per battle so my best guess right now would be yes i think going off how all of the other new gimmicks worked in previous generations like mega evolution z moves dynamax i think they've all been limited to one pokemon per battle and i think they'll probably stay in line with that coming into scholar and violet as well it's not to say that this might be totally changed and coming into scholar and violet where we can terrestrialize any amount of pokemon in any one battle so you can have a team of six pokemon terrestrialized by the end of the battle but i would very much doubt it i think for the fact that you have to recharge your terra orb through terra energy that you're going to have to find through these crystals kind of indicate that you're probably only going to be able to use this on one pokemon per battle but let's wait and see what happens will the pokemon's terra type be shown in team preview now this is a big thing for specifically the competitive scene there's a lot of kind of worry potentially about how this will affect the competitive scene pokemon battling in general will it make it impossible to prepare for formats metagames and things like that because it's so open ended there's so many possibilities i don't think that's going to be the case i think they will implement something in team preview or in the display before you go into a battle somehow to show an opponent's team and what those pokemon's terra types potentially are to make it easier to prepare and know what to expect when you're going into battle so i would say sit tight on that for the moment i think they will implement something to make the little less daunting than it seems right now we've obviously had nothing confirmed but i would say don't worry about it i think they will have thought about this and potentially team preview will have some indicator what pokemon's terra types specifically are before you go into battle and that would be a nice way to get around that will terrestrialization take up a pokemon's item slot or not so i don't think so i don't think terrestrialization is going to take up an item slot at all i think from the trailers when we've looked at it the terra orb is a trainer held item it looks as though it will be something given to you from the descriptions on the pokemon scottland pilot website so it looks like an item the trainer has like the mega band and it doesn't look like you need to give a pokemon anything because it's already caught with the terra typing anyway and when you see the animation of the terra orb being interacted with by a trainer towards pokemon to activate that terrestrialization the trainer is throwing the ball at the pokemon to kind of make that gimmick happen so it kind of takes away from the need of a pokemon holding an item for it to happen anyway so i would say pokemon are still going to be able to hold items but the terra item is going to be something just tied to the trainer to be able to be used and the next one can you change a pokemon's terra type so we know when you obtain or catch a pokemon in the wild in scottland pilot it's going to have a terra type attached to it but are you going to be able to change that terra typing now there's a lot of leaks and rumors in regards to there potentially being an item to allow you to change a pokemon's terra type and i think that would be great but i can't see them having that item available straight away i think that will be an item that'll be in potentially a dlc later on or it'll be a very high cost item like an ability pill to make it difficult to get for a lot of trainers and not accessible early on because i think the one thing that that item would do was detract people from taking part in terra raids and i think with the release of scottland and violet pokemon game freak are going to want people to be online playing terra raids and have those hype moments when they get those really rare terra types for certain pokemon i think it's a possibility but i don't think it's something that we'll see very early on and i think it'll be something that's a high cost item to make it more accessible through terra raids to get these rarer pokemon rather than just being able to buy an item as sad as that might sound to some of you but let me know down below let me know your thoughts on that one so that about wraps up everything that we wanted to kind of cover in today's video and i hope it gives you a better idea of how terrestrialization works and everything that we know about it so far in game obviously just bear in mind that we have the pokemon world championships happening in a couple of weeks time and at the opening ceremony at the world championships every year without fail we get a big announcement from game freak pokemon in regards to any upcoming titles so be aware that we'll probably get a big announcement in regards to something relating to scarlet and violet at that opening ceremony from game freak and it may be in regards to the new gimmick as well because it does tie into the competitive scene of that event but it could also be new pokemon as well they do reveal new pokemon at these events so there's a lot of information still to come out about scarlet and violet so it could be in line with something else but it might be in regards to the gimmick nonetheless though we will cover it as we will be there so friends that wraps up today's video i hope you found it useful i hope it gives you a better idea and understanding of this new terrestrial phenomenon that's happening in the paladier region and i would love to hear your opinions on it down below are you skeptical about it are you looking forward to it if you still got more questions about it we haven't got all our information yet we haven't got a full picture of how it works but we've got enough information to get an initial idea with how it's going to interact within game and affect potentially how we look at pokemon battles going into generation 9 so thank you so much for tuning in have a great rest of your day more importantly than anything take care of yourselves and i will see you for the next one so until then take care bye bye
