How much more damage does Terastallizing do?
In the exciting world of Pokémon, players are constantly searching for ways to increase the power of their cherished creatures. One way to do just that is through Terastallization. But how much of an effect does this process really have on our beloved Pokémon? Let’s dive deeper to find out.
An Overview of Terastallizing
Terastallizing is a fascinating phenomenon where a Pokémon’s body undergoes a temporary transformation, increasing its power, special attacks, and its ability to survive battles. This unique ability provides a significant boost to our Pokémon’s in-battle capabilities, making Terastallizing an essential strategy to be reckoned with in competitive battlin.
Increase in Base Power
Now, let’s jump straight to the million-dollar question – how much more damage does Terastallizing do? According to Pokémon’s very own documentation, Terastallizing increases base power to 1.5 times. [1] For instance, if a non-Terastallized Magnemite uses Electric-type attack, which deals 50 damage, the same Magnemite once Terastallized into Electric will deal 75 damage. (1.5x increase or 50% increase in attack power).
Calculating Exact Damage
To break it down more precisely, let’s say we’re utilizing a Level 90 Pokémon with average stats in the wild, specifically with around 120 base damage. Normally, this Pokémon’s attack is worth 20 damage after accounting for moves’ stat adjustments. [2]. Now, when this Pokémon takes on the form of an Electric-type when Terastallized, and assuming the target has no neutralizing effects (e.g. no neutralizing resistance).
| Level | Base Damage | Base Power Multiplyer | Terastallize Power Multiplyer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 90 | 120 | 0.9/1.1/1.25/1.33/2 | 1.5 |
| Damage Calculation (Terastallized) | 162 (120 × 1.375 × 1.5) ≈ |
Example Calculation Terastallized damage calculation calculation: ((120 × the level-based multipliers; e.g. 0.94/1.15/0.83/1.17)/2) 1.375 (neutralized by Fire/Fighting/Metal/Ice) 1.5
The final answer: An increase of approx. 23.75%**!
Takeaway: As we know, Terastallization offers a significant bonus to our cherished Pokémon, making Terastallizing a significant advantage especially when paired with our Pokémon’s Tera type.

Key Takeaway: Terastallization as an additional boost and its combined effect with Tera type adds an extra level of complexity & power to our in-game strategies – which is undeniably helpful when competing and building upon the world’s many Pokémon.
