The Indigo Disk DLC introduced a new Tera Type called Stellar in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (SV). Read on to learn the best Pokemon to use with a Stellar Tera Type in Ranked Battles.
List of Contents
This is a tier list for the best Stellar Tera Type Pokemon and not the best Pokemon to use in competitive Ranked Battles. If you would wish to see a tier list for those Pokemon instead, check out the links below.

This Tier List only contains Pokemon that are legal for Regulation F Ranked Battles, so powerful Stellar Tera users like Arceus and Terapagos are not included.
The following are the criteria to be met when ranking the best Sellar Tera Pokemon.
| Tier | Criteria |
|---|---|
|
SS Tier Pokemon have great base stats, a wide movepool, strong defensive typing, and are easy to use. These Pokemon are often setup sweepers that have an easy time setting up with their boosting moves. |
|
S Tier Pokemon are generally close in power to those in the SS Tier but are worse in one or two categories like lower stats or more defensive weaknesses. |
|
A Tier Pokemon are often strong options but are usually outclassed by Pokemon in the SS and S Tier. These Pokemon also often have great type matchups against SS and S Tier Pokemon. |
|
B Tier Pokemon are often versatile and have effective builds, but there are generally better options in the higher tiers or they would rather use a different offensive Tera Type. |
|
C Tier Pokemon offer good moves and stats but are often locked in specialized builds or would rather have a different Tera Type. These Pokemon have specific niches in the metagame and are outclassed by Pokemon in the higher tiers. |
Since the Stellar Tera Type doesn't change the Pokemon's defensive typing, it is recommended to only give a Pokemon the Stellar Tera Type if they already have a strong defensive typing so that they aren't prone to getting easily OHKO'd
When Terastallized into the Stellar Tera Type, it will only grant the damage boost to a move the first time that move's type is used in battle.
If a Pokemon uses multiple moves of the same type, then it would be better to give that Pokemon a Tera Type that boosts those moves rather than a Stellar Tera Type.
Pokemon participating in Doubles Battles would prefer more defensive Teras rather than the offensive Stellar Tera, so this list favours Pokemon that are stronger in Singles Battles rather than Doubles.
