Effect

In battle

Reason: Check for other moves/Abilities that can or cannot copy/replace/suppress this Ability. Usual suspects: Gastro Acid, Worry Seed, Role Play, Entrainment, Doodle, Trace, Receiver/Power of Alchemy, Lingering Aroma/Mummy.
You can discuss this on the talk page.

When Terapagos is hit by a damage-dealing move at full HP, it will always be not very effective (If Terapagos holds a Ring Target, Ghost-type attacks – which it is otherwise immune to – will also be not very effective).

Outside of battle

Tera Shell has no effect outside of battle.
