Ghost moves don't affect Terapagos at all — that's the advantage of Normal typing. It relies on priority moves or Scarf to keep up. Known as the Tera Pokemon. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets.
Bulk defines Terapagos's stat line. HP and Defense anchor the defensive side, but Speed can't keep up offensively. Easy to catch and worth 1 Defense EV.
Terapagos Weakness
GoodTerapagos is weak to Fighting-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ghost-type moves entirely. With 90 HP and balanced defenses, Terapagos can afford to eat a neutral hit or two.
Terapagos is an unusual case. This Normal type doesn't evolve and can't breed despite having 450 total stats.
How to Evolve
Terashift helps Terapagos stick around while dealing real damage. Heavy-Duty Boots for hazard immunity on every switch-in, max Sp. Atk and Speed EVs for the right balance, and Terastarstorm as the main threat. Not the fastest, but it doesn't need to be.

The TM pool is where it gets interesting. Coverage across 14 types means almost nothing walls Terapagos cleanly, with Giga Impact and Hyper Beam anchoring the STAB side. Matchup flexibility isn't a problem.
