>>53473158>Nowhere is it stated Terapogos makes fakemons realIt makes desires real. Heath's desire was to see fakemons so he could get famous for making a new discovery; the later expedition's desire was to NOT see fakemons to disprove Heath's account and prove that he was a fraud; the Professor's desire was to build a machine that can pull the fakemons - which MUST have been from another point in time in their eyes; when the other professor left them, they then desired a new assistant that was just like them, down to their memories, and got the AI; Terapagos' scales/crystals are leaking out of the Paldean crater and into the environment, granting Pokemon the ability to assume the elemental Type they truly want to be rather than their natural one; the Tera Orbs, which have a Terapagos scale embedded in them, allow for the same effect to be done on a trainer's Pokemon; hell, after a Tera Raid, the player's desire to catch the Pokemon they just beat turns any ball they throw at it into a Master Ball in function with a 100% success rate. It should be PAINFULLY obvious that Terapagos works on your heart's desire - the whole theme of the game is the 'Treasure Hunt', which is about finding everyone's individual 'treasure' - their heart's true desire - and how many ways that can be interpreted.
