Pokemon: This New Terapagos Fan Theory Might Explain Where Paradox Pokemon Come From

Highlights

  • Terapagos, a legendary Pokemon, is the central focus of the miniseries “Terapagos’ Sparkling Expedition” in Pokemon Horizons, introducing new characters and potential abilities.
  • Terapagos is unique among Pokemon as it has two distinct forms and does not evolve into or from any other species. Its awakening marks a significant development in Pokemon Horizons.
  • There is a popular theory that Terapagos has the ability to bring dreams into reality, although there is some debate within the community. The mini-series and main series may provide more insight into Terapagos’ lore.


Terapagos’ Sparkling Expedition is a miniseries following the legendary Pokemon Terapagos, introduced at the end of episodes in Pokemon Horizons (known as Pocket Monsters: Liko and Roy’s Departure and Pocket Monsters: The Sparkling of Terapagos in Japan). The series revolves around two new characters, Liko and Roy, members of the Rising Volt Tacklers.

Liko inherits a mysterious pendant from her grandmother, revealing it to be a dormant Terapagos. Fans have speculated about Terapagos’ potential abilities. As the new arc unfolds, centered on this legendary Pokemon and its dedicated series, viewers eagerly await whether the speculated abilities will be explored.

How Terapagos Stands Out From Other Legendary Pokemon

Terapagos, as seen in Terapagos’ Sparkling Expedition, is a Legendary Pokemon introduced in Generation IX, debuting with The Indigo Disk. This mythical creature has two distinct forms: the Normal Form and the Terastal Form. The latter serves as the game mascot for The Indigo Disk and plays a central role in The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero.

Unlike many Pokemon, Terapagos does not evolve into or from any other species. In Pokemon Horizons, Normal Form Terapagos made its first appearance in The Pendant That Starts It All: Part Two. A revelation unfolded, disclosing that Liko’s seemingly ordinary pendant is, in fact, the dormant form of Terapagos. The Pokemon briefly stirred in HZ012 and also featured in a flashback during HZ016. Finally, in HZ023, Terapagos awakens permanently and is currently journeying alongside the Rising Volt Tacklers. The awakening of Terapagos marks a significant development in Pokemon Horizons.

Terapagos & The Dream World

According to one Reddit user, ‘There’s a popular theory that Terapagos has the ability to bring dreams into reality. This idea is linked to the broader concept of Paradox Pokemon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, suggesting that these creatures don’t come from the past or future but actually originate from the world of dreams.

The theory draws connections to the Pokemon Black and White feature called The Dream World, pointing out similarities in design between the Dream World frames and the starting screen of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet games.

A popular theory right now is that the paradox Mons are created from dreams and not really from the past or future.

While some fans are on board with the dream-to-reality connection, there’s a bit of a clash within the community. Another Reddit user argues against this idea, proposing that Terapagos might instead have the power to grant wishes. The debate revolves around whether fulfilling dreams and wishes is just a play on words or a distinct capability.


Adding to the discussion, another Reddit user shared, “A popular theory right now is that the paradox Mons are created from dreams and not really from the past or future. Personally, I don’t like the idea, and it has some cracks, but it’s one of the explanations for why paradox mons are called paradox.” This perspective introduces the notion that Paradox Pokemon are born from dreams rather than being linked to specific time periods, offering an alternative explanation for the intriguing name.

Is This Theory Realistic?

Given Terapagos’ significance in Pokemon Horizons and its revelation as a pendant worn by the protagonist Liko, the mini-series may delve into the legendary Pokemon’s lore. However, considering the miniseries’ focus on slice-of-life elements and its limited three-episode span, it is uncertain whether an in-depth exploration of the theory will occur there. The ongoing arc in Pokemon Horizons, titled The Brilliance of Terapagos, suggests that more details about the Pokemon’s lore may be unveiled in the main series. However, as of now, no theories have been confirmed.

As the miniseries, Terapagos’ Sparkling Expedition, keeps fans guessing about the legendary Pokemon’s mysterious abilities, the main series, Pokemon Horizons, continues to drop subtle hints that there might be more to discover.

Terapagos’ Sparkling Expedition on Pokemon Horizons will be available for streaming on Netflix on February 23, 2024.
