The Tera Orb isn’t charging because it didn’t receive a charge from a battle, possibly due to a move dealing zero damage, or it might have been used previously and needs to be recharged at a Pokémon Center or by visiting an unvisited Tera Raid crystal. To resolve this issue, players can try using a different move that deals at least 1 damage or recharge the Tera Orb using one of the available methods.
