iirc there's stub text added to change that tera type to a pokemon in the restaurant like all the other types

I think what’s most likely to happen with Terapagos’s “third form” is that it’s a terastal state, like what Ogerpon has. So it would be “useable” but only in a limited way.
Does it seem like it will be a separate form outside of battle?
No, I agree with MaskedFeraligatr in that if Terapagos has another form, it is likely gonna be another Terastalized State form (Like Ogerpon)
With that said, I really don't see the 19th Tera Type being just typeless. Consder that its crown looks like this-
- and that the Pokémon most likely to be associated with it also has all 18 types represented within its shell. I highly doubt that 19's visual style would involve "let's display all other types!" if it was the complete opposite by lacking a type. Imo it'd also be kind of counterproductive to focus an entire gen's mechanic around changing types and caping it off with "Ok now here's a special Terastal that has absolutely zero type interactions!" since it just disconnects itself entirely from the rest of the gimmick
If anything, considering the previously mentioned all-type display and the fact it was shown to boost every move in Baxcalibur's moveset, I'm expecting this to somehow allow you to flux between the other 18 types. Not exactly sure how, though
Well the absolute funniest option would be treat it like the Legend Plate from LA considering how much people were freaking out at the idea of that making it to a normal game on a Mythic (so its not touching most players anyway in-game) Uber (that's basically a banlist with a banlist).
So now imagine it available for everyone!
My current theory is that it gives you STAB on everything and Tera Blast also hits everything neutrally but the drawback is that you also take boosted damage from everything.
Remove the drawback and you’ve got modern Game Freak balancing down pretty accurate
I'm currently placing the most bets on the 19th Tera type behaving just like Gen 8 Protean, including switching the Tera STAB to the type of the move you use just before you use it. ...So it indeed gives you STAB on everything. Dunno if Tera Blast always hits super-effectively (and switches your typing Legend Plate-style), is treated as being every type at the same time (which ensures that sadly many types are immune to it) and possibly switches your typing to every type at the same time (which at least gives you just as many immunities), or something else (e.g. reverts you back to your base typing and uses your base primary type).
This is the third time I’ve had to do this, the 19th Tera Type is not super effective against everythingThe one thing we do know is that the 19th Tera Type doesn’t hit everything super effectively as shown by 19th Tera Type Tera Blast being neutral against Dragonite in one of the trailers

I remember a bunch of people guessing that 19th Tera Type Tera Blast hides whether it's super-effective or not by implied type mucking (along the lines of the screen prefers to think that it's Normal-type over calculating what type it really is and then checking that), and the stubbed-out description of that move not hinting at anything. Maybe yet another guess for what that does is that it's the one move that doesn't change your typing?
I’d honestly assume that Tera 19 is a completely neutral typing, while also giving a 1.2x (20%) power boost on all attacks similar to Ogerpon’s masks because of the trailer showing Tera 19’s aura/bordering around all of Baxcalibur’s moves.
In that case, yay, Haxorus and Porygon-Z get a new unwallable 96 BP STAB to spam forever on Screens Hyper Offense!

Welp, Pastebin leak

I am really scared of what Iron Tines might do in Reg F if this leak is true.

I can't believe this because the leaker opener is basically "I'm the uncle that work at Nintendo" besides I really doubt that Dipplin evolution would be Bug/ Dragon while the entire family is Grass/Dragon and Poison Peach signature move is too crazy.
ETA: Doku Momo doesn't fit the Loyal Three naming theme, it will probrably be something stupid like Eazypeachy.

I really don't think they'd go through the trouble of removing Pursuit entirely in Gen 8 only to re-add it as a TM in Gen 9
Also no fucking way in hell that the dipplin evo of all things gets 600 BST lmfao

The claim that Pursuit got added is the most suspicious (especially when even the overly faithful BDSP sadly ditched the move), but the claim that "All 18 Type Symbols on My Back!" Terapagos-Terastal doesn't have the 19th Tera type is also dang suspicious. Raging Bolt having higher physical attack than special attack also looks overly strange, and my guesses for what Supercharged Cell does are Overheat clone and Steel Beam/Chloroblast clone, not the Meteor Beam clone they're claiming it to be (the Meteor Beam clone part also makes much less flavour sense than my other 2 possibilities). Oh yeah, there's also the part where Khu hinted that "Dokutaro" would get a new ability...and this claims it doesn't.
In happier news, previews of the anime finally showed us Terapagos-Terastal's belly!

Even if "Eazypeachy" won't be its official name, I want people to refer to the evil Momotaro as this, because that name is too good.
Remember Ungaboongus, or whatever we thought Brute Bonnet's name was?
"Supercharged Cell" as a name sounds suspicious to me, because space included, this name is 17 characters long when no regular move has a name longer than 16 characters in English.

Supercharged Cell is a separate move from Electro Shot (Archaludon's signature move, which we already know is a version of Meteor Beam that fires off in one turn in rain).
Supercharged Cell is something else, we only know that it's a TM from Serebii's preview. The "leak" here claims that it's essentially Electric Geomancy.
Supercharged Cell is a real move name, Serebii mentioned it as being a TM in his press preview.Even if "Eazypeachy" won't be its official name, I want people to refer to the evil Momotaro as this, because that name is too good.

So I re-read the Serebii preview, and assuming this is an actual, officially localized move name, the removal of the 16-characters limit of move names is quite a big deal.
Sixteen characters is enough for many creative move names, but as someone who regularly creates plenty of new moves, this limit does restrict the possibilities a little bit.
"Doku Momo" feels done specifically to cater to an ancient Khu hint about how doku had some (vague, unstated) similarities to a(n unspecified) gen 7 Pokemon. A theory was it'd be similar to the Tapu, and "Doku Momo" fits the Tapu cadence
Which to me is just another red flag to the pile of other, far more obvious red flags about why it's not worth giving the pastebin the time of day
