Tapu Bulu sets itself apart from other Grass-types thanks to its high offensive capabilities, Terrain-boosted Horn Leech, good coverage in Close Combat and Stone Edge, and good defensive typing, checking Pokemon like Zamazenta, Urshifu-R and Rotom-W. It also provides Grassy Terrain for its team, giving passive recovery to teammates like Heatran and Toxapex, making them even harder to deal with. Close Combat hits Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Kingambit and Stone Edge threaten Flying-types like Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Dragonite while letting Tapu Bulu beat Volcarona. Rockium Z gives Tapu Bulu a strong nuke, allowing it to break through Zapdos more reliably while also OHKOing would-be checks like Tornadus-T and Mega Charizard Y on the switch-in. Fightinium Z, on the other hand, helps it break through Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor and KOes Heatran after luring it in. Leftovers gives Tapu Bulu more passive recovery, allowing it to set up multiple times against more balanced teams. The given EV spread ensures Tapu Bulu outspeeds Magnezone and Mega Tyranitar while optimizing its bulk. Tera Water retains Tapu Bulu's utility against rain while making it resist Ice-types moves from Pokemon like Weavile and Fire-type moves from Heatran and Volcarona, while Tera Steel avoids Toxic, grants a helpful Flying resistance against the lieks of Tornadus-T and Zados, and synergizes well with Grassy Terrain, as it weakens Earthquake. Both options also let it resist Make It Rain from Gholdengo, allowing Tapu Bulu to win against it thanks to Horn Leech's recovery. Tapu Bulu fits best on offense and bulky offense teams, which appreciate its strong wallbreaking capability. Heatran checks Fire-types like Volcarona and Skeledirge, Flying-types like Tornadus-T, and appreciates Grassy Terrain weakening Earthquake. In return, Tapu Bulu can check Rotom-W and Urshifu-R, using them as setup fodder. Kartana synergizes well with Tapu Bulu, as Tapu Bulu can break through most of Kartana's checks thanks to Z-Moves (added hyphen) and boosts its Leaf Blade with Grassy Terrain, letting Kartana clean with its Choice Scarf set. In the same vein, Mega Scizor works well with Tapu Bulu, as together they can overwhelm their common checks, like Zapdos and Heatran.

Tapu Bulu sets itself appart apart from other Grass-types thanks to its high offensive capabilities, Terrain-boosted Horn Leech, good coverage in Close Combat and Stone Edge, and good defensive typing that let it come and check Water-types like Urshifu-R and Rotom-W feels a bit redundant bc ur saying why bulu is unique as a grass type, replace with things its fairy type does for it (urshifu, zama etc.). It also provides Grassy Terrain for its team, giving passive recovery to potential team mates like Heatran and Toxapex, making them even harder to deal with. Swords Dance propels Tapu Bulu's high Attack to stellar level, Close Combat hits Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Kingambit and Stone Edge threaten Flying-types like Tornadus-T, Zapdos, and Dragonite, while also ensuring Tapu Bulu can beat Volcarona. maybe mention synth somewhere here as a niche option? if u dont think it works dont add it tho Rockium Z gives Tapu Bulu a strong nuke, allowing it to break through Zapdos more reliably, while also OHKOing would it be checks like Tornadus-T and Mega Charizard-Y on the switch-in. Fightinium Z, on the other hand, helps it break through Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor and also lures in Heatran for a KO on the switch. Finally, Leftovers gives Tapu Bulu more passive recovery, allowing it to setup multiples Swords Dances against more balanced teams. The given EV spread ensure Tapu Bulu outspeeds Magnezone and Mega Tyranitar while optimizing its bulk. Tera Water retains Tapu Bulu's utility against Rain while making it resist to Ice-types moves from Pokemon like Weavile and Fire-type moves from Heatran and Volcarona, while Tera Steel protects it from being Toxic'd and let it resist Flying-types attack from the likes of Tornadus-T and Zapdos. mayb talk abt how both mean u resist mir so u can 1v1 ghold with hleech Tapu Bulu fits best in offenses and bulky offenses, that appreciate its strong breaking capability. Heatran can check most Fire-types like Volcarona and Skeledirge and also Flying-types like Tornadus-T for Tapu Bulu, can provide Stealth Rock for Tapu Bulu, and also appreciate Grassy Terrain support. In return, Tapu Bulu can check Rotom-W and Urshifu-R, and use them as setup fodders. Kartana shares a great synergy with Tapu Bulu, as it can break through most of Kartana's checks thanks to Z Moves and boosts its Leaf Blade thanks to Grassy Terrain, setting the conditions for Kartana to clean up with its Choice Scarf set. In the same vein, Mega Scizor works well with Tapu Bulu, as together they can overwhelm their common checks, like Zapdos and Heatran.

Fightinium Z, on the other hand, helps it break through Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Mega Scizor and also lures in Heatran for a KO on the switch.

Heatran can check most Fire-types like Volcarona and Skeledirge and also Flying-types like Tornadus-T for Tapu Bulu, can provide Stealth Rock for Tapu Bulu, and also appreciate Grassy Terrain support in neutering Earthquake.
