In the last few hours Pokémon Scarlet and Purple have left us with a good load of news thanks to the new trailer published by The Pokémon Company. Among all of them it has been revealed teracrystallizationa very interesting new function that will considerably affect the fights that we wage in the Paldea region.
Thanks to this effect we will make any of our Pokémon shine like some of the most glittering gems, although it will also cause a Teracrystal crown-shaped jewel to appear above their heads to give them a more luxurious appearance. In fact, the jewel and the shine will vary depending on the type.
This is because the true effect of teracrystallization is that can change the types of the Pokémon for others. Once they teracrystallize, the change to another will take place, which at the moment is unknown if it will be random or if we can choose it in some certain way.
For example, it has been anticipated that some Eevee are Normal teratypes, but others may be Water or Flying teratypes, just as there may be a Fire teratype Drifblim. In this way, attacks that are of the same type will be boostedbut it will also cause the Pokémon’s strengths and weaknesses to change.
Therefore, this gives the fights a new strategic point. Especially since teracrystallization can only be used once per fight and will remain active until the fight ends. However, when the Teracrystal Orb that activates this function is used, it will be necessary to recharge its energy in a Pokémon Center to use it again.
You can also use shiny crystals that will be scattered throughout the region that will serve to return the orb to its normal state, so we will have to take out our explorer vein while we go from one place to another. All this when Pokemon Scarlet and Purple go on sale on Nintendo Switch on November 18th.
