Since gamefreak doesn't want to explicitly say what Terapagos' entire set of powers is, let's look at possible references used in it's design.
>Urashima Taro: Has time travel as it's theme, but also mentions granting desires. Both turtles share the same kind of tail.
>Turtle all the way down/Argument by infinite regression: referenced by it's last form, this could also be referenced by the fact that the chain of events might be caused by a time paradox, thus "there's always a bigger turtle to sit on top" when explaining what caused what.
> Galapagos Tortoise: This is a bit unimportant, but it's referenced that the species was near extinct and that only one male specimen remains, which mirrors what happened in real life.
> Dream-catcher: This one is a bit of a stretch, but Terapagos' fluffy "mane" could be related to the usage of feathers in dream-catchers which strike a resemblance.
