What Why on earth is Terapagos?

I have noticed some similarities between Terapagos and other crystal pokémon that have connections to space. In this post I'll elaborate these connections and explain why it may be extraterrestrial and a possible reason that it came to earth.

Similarities

Terapagos has an "inactive form", where it is nothing more than a crystal. If it has energy and the crystal is not stuck somewhere, then it is able to make its body take form, to restore its physical body. A crystal core from where the body comes from is a thing in common for three other pokémon that have connection to space:

"As long as its red core remains, it can regenerate its body instantly, even if it's torn apart." (Staryu's Black 2 & White 2 Pokédex entry)

"Its unusual body shape, reminiscent of abstract art, led local people to spread rumors that this Pokémon may be an invader from outer space.", (Starmie's Moon Pokédex entry) "Its sparkling core is called “the gem of the sea.” This core can be made into high-priced accessories that are traded in secret." (Starmie's Ultra Sun Pokédex entry) "Its core shines in many colors and sends radio signals into space to communicate with something." (Starmie's Black 2 & White 2 Pokédex entry)

"The DNA of a space virus underwent a sudden mutation upon exposure to a laser beam and resulted in Deoxys. The crystalline organ on this Pokémon's chest appears to be its brain." (Deoxy's Ruby Pokédex entry). In the seventh movie, Deoxys as shown to need energy and break free from the meteorite in order to take form

If the biological similarities are not enough, Starmie, Deoxys and Terapagos all can learn Meteor Beam. According to Bulbapedia, "Meteor Beam is learned by most extraterrestrial Pokémon"

Speculation part:

I believe that the crater where Terapagos is found may have been made by the collision of a meteor. Coincidence?

Let's take a look at the ability "Teraform Zero", that clears all weather and terrain effects. I believe Terapagos might have been sent to Earth to "teraform" it. Not "terraform", as in to make a planet be enough like Earth (Terra) so we could inhabit it, but the act of transforming a planet into Tera crystals. To make our world a crystal world ideal for the extraterrestrial crystal pokémon — and maybe other crystal beings?

The reason why Lucius hasn't returned is because he turned into crystal.

Pokémon Movie Ranking

According to Me (English Dub only). Spoilers Below

#1. Pokémon 2000: The Power of One (2000) [7.3/10] “Alone It’s Song Will Fail, thus the World Shall turn to Ash”. Lugia’s Song is great, Plot kicks ass.

#2. Pokémon Heroes (2003) [6.8/10] Venice! but with Pokémon. Also Ash Gets kissed by a Latias. (and he doesn’t even like girls!)

#3. Pokémon Ranger + The Temple of the Sea (2007) [6.7/10] The Ending song is way better than it has any right to be. Ash becomes Aquaman for some reason.

#4. Pokémon: Rise of Darkrai (2008) [6.7/10] Ash climbs the Sagrada Familia to stop a wormhole from destroying a town (and possibly the world).

#5. Pokémon: Lucario + The Mystery of Mew (2006) [6.6/10] Use the Aura, Ash! In which Ash befriends a Lucario with the power of The Force so he can get his Pikachu back from a World Tree. It’s like Star Wars meets Yggdrasil.

#6. Pokémon: The Power of Us (2018) [6.5/10] Ash and some new friends draw a poison cloud away from a town with the power of teamwork! (and plot armour!)

#7. Pokémon 3: Spell of the Unown (2001) [6.3/10] Nothing is real anymore. Ash gets pissed when an Entei kidnaps his mom.

#8. Pokémon: The First Movie (1999) [6.1/10] Ash tries to stop some senseless violence by throwing hands with Mewtwo. not that you care, bc you’ve probably seen it already.

#9. Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys (2005) [6/10] Ash tries to help a boy recover from trauma he suffered after witnessing the second impact Deoxys. He does this by getting stuck in an empty city with Deoxys, Rayquaza, and some Angels malevolent cubes. Basically it’s Poké Genesis Evangelimon.

#10. Detective Pikachu (2019) [5.8/10] The MCU started off at this level of quality, and now look at it. Video Game movies will be money spinners come 2029, I guarantee it.

#11. Pokémon Zoroark: Master of Illusions (2011) [5.8/10] Grings Kodai is one nasty prick (at least by Pokémon standards)

#12. Pokémon: Volcanion + The Mechanical Marvel (2016) [5.7/10] Ash gets tethered to a legendary by accident and gets dragged around, i guess?

#13. Pokémon: Kyurem Vs The Sword of Justice (2012) [5.6/10] Keldeo fights a Kyurem. that’s the entire film. Nice and Simple.

#14. Pokémon: Arceus + The Jewel of Life (2009) [5.4/10] Ash stops the PokéGod from destroying the world through some time travel malarkey.

#15. Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior (2009) [5.4/10] It’s got some good music, like when Ash is being chased by some Magnemite.

#16. Pokémon 4ever (2002) [5.3/10] Villain big and dumb. Celebi cute and squishy. Ash fails to realise Sammy is a young Professor Oak.

#17. Pokémon Jirachi: Wish Maker (2004) [5.3/10] Why would you dedicate an entire movie to Budget Conan? The Groudon bit is silly but the rest of it is ok.

#18. Pokémon White: Victini and Zekrom (2011) [5.3/10] A film more famous for the fact it had two versions than anything to do with the actual plot of the film.

#19. Pokémon: Hoopa + the Clash of Ages (2015) [5/10] Turns out trying to cram every legendary into a film doesn’t work. Who Knew? Certainly not OLM. (or Warner Bros. for that matter) 

#20. Pokémon: Genesect + The Legend Awakened (2014) [5/10] a gang of Genesect cause a blackout in New York. Also Mewtwo is there for some reason.

#21. Pokémon: I Choose You! (2017) [4.9/10] The decision to Reboot the movie canon continues to amaze me with how poorly it paid off IMO. This film commits so many cardinal sins but its only nearly saved by the visuals.

#22. Pokémon: Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction [4.8/10] So many potential villains to choose from, if only it could pick one and stick with it, especially since its not a fucking mystery film!

Let me know what you think! etc.
