>>55112319It's definitely not literally like that, but there's this dex entry that definitely alludes to that:
>In this form, Terapagos resembles the world as the ancients saw it, and its Terastal energy is abnormally amplified.It's very clearly based on the world turtle, even with the "turtles all the way down" concept. Hell, even Paldea itself kinda looks like Terapagos. And the name pretty much just means "Earth (as in our planet) turtle".
