[SET COMMENTS]
Calm Mind Tapu Lele becomes a fearsome breaker after a single boost, threatening common defensive Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Mega Tyranitar. Focus Blast is useful coverage, hitting many defensive staples like Ferrothorn, Garganacl, and Heatran for super effective damage. Fightinium Z in tandem with Focus Blast allows Tapu Lele to reliably OHKO Ferrothorn and Heatran, and heavily damage Mega Scizor and Ting-Lu Although Tapu Lele is a fearsome wallbreaker, it requires a Calm Mind boost to heavily damage the majority of the metagame, so Pokemon that can provide it a setup opportunity via pivoting such as Urshifu-R, Gliscor, and Alomomola are beneficial. Tapu Lele is also very prone to getting revenge killed by physical attackers that can bypass Tapu Lele's Special Defense boosts, such as Zamazenta, Kartana, and Weavile, so teammates such as Zapdos, Moltres, and Toxapex are appreciated.

Calm Mind Tapu Lele becomes a fearsome breaker after a single boost, threatening common defensive Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Toxapex, and Mega Tyranitar. Psyshock is the preferred Psychic-type attack, making it more difficult to wall, although Psychic can be used for higher damage outputs. Focus Blast is useful coverage, hitting many defensive staples like Ferrothorn, Garganacl, and Heatran for super effective damage. Tera Psychic is the recommended Tera Type, as it can boost Tapu Lele’s Psychic-type attacks even further along with Psychic Surge. Twisted Spoon is the recommended item to boost Tapu Lele’s Psychic attacks even further, however Fightinium Z can be used in tandem with Focus Blast to OHKO defensive walls like Alomomola, Mega Scizor, and Ting-Lu. qc agreed spoon isnt worth it upon further consideration, keep the focus blast + z section ofc just reformat it a bit since it's the only relevant option. you could say something along the lines of "Focus Blast in tandem with Fightinium Z allows Tapu Lele to reliably OHKO Ferrothorn and Heatran, while dealing huge damage to Mega Scizor and Ting-Lu." Although Tapu Lele is a fearsome breaker, it requires a Calm Mind boost to heavily damage majority of the metagame, so Pokemon that can provide it a set up opportunity via pivoting such as Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, Gliscor, and Alomomola are beneficial. Tapu Lele is also very prone to getting revenge killed by physical Pokemon attackers who can bypass Calm Mind's Special Defense boosts such as Zamazenta, Kartana, and Weavile, so physically bulky Pokemon teammates such as Garganacl Toxapex, and Great Tusk are good teammates. Zapdos, Moltres, and Toxapex are appreciated.
