Horn Leech allows Tapu Bulu to gain recovery while still having a strong move to hit Primarina, Crawdaunt, and Lycanroc-D. Dazzling Gleam is able to sometimes OHKO Kommo-o and deals good damage to Zarude and Buzzwole. Toxic punishes switch-ins such as Rotom-H and Salamence. Synthesis is reliable recovery, but it should only be used sparingly due to its low PP. Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred item, but Rocky Helmet can be used to punish contact moves from Zarude, Krookodile, and Gyarados. The EV spread is to outspeed Choice Specs Primarina while maximizing physical bulk to better check Buzzwole and Lycanroc-D.

Defensive Tapu Bulu is mainly found on stall and balance teams, as they appreciate it bringing Grassy Terrain for extra recovery. Calm Mind Galarian Slowbro and SubToxic Aegislash are great partners, as they can deal with Amoonguss and Togekiss, respectfully. In return, Tapu Bulu is able to handle Krookodile, Rhyperior, Zarude, and Crawdaunt for these Pokemon. Chansey is able to check non-Dragon Dance Salamence and other special attackers such as Nidoking and Nihilego; Tapu Bulu beats Keldeo, one of the few special attackers that can break through Chansey. Umbreon provides Wish support so that Tapu Bulu does not have to use Synthesis often while also checking Salamence and Aegislash. Fire-types such as Entei and Moltres help deal with Jirachi, Amoonguss, and Aegislash, which wall it.

Paragraph 1
- Horn Leech allows Tapu Bulu to increase it's passive recovery while still having a strong move. give some examples of what horn leech nails, prim, crawdaunt, and Lycanroc-D all work.
- Dazzling Gleam is able to sometimes OHKO Kommo-o while dealing good damage to deal good damage to Kommo-o and Zarude. (reworded this point to make it more accurate)
- Toxic can be used to punish switch-ins such as Rotom-H and Salamence.
- Synthesis is reliable recovery when at low health, but should only be used sparingly due to its low PP.
- Heavy-Duty Boots is preferred to negate entry hazard damage, but Rocky Helmet can be used to punish contact moves from Zarude, Krookodile, and Gyarados.
- The spread is to outspeed Choice Specs Primarina while maximizing its physical bulk to better check Buzzwole and Lycanroc-D. not weaken Horn Leech and outspeed Jolly Crawdaunt.

Paragraph 2
- Defensive Tapu Bulu is mainly found on stall and balance teams, as they appreciate the it bringing Grassy Terrain for extra recovery.
- Calm Mind Galarian Slowbro and SubToxic Aegislash are great partners, as Tapu Bulu is able to handle Krookodile, Rhyperior, Zarude, and Crawdaunt while providing Grassy Terrain support, so they can act as win conditions. elaborate a bit more on what they do for bulu specifically rather than the whole team. Like glowbro can beat amoonguss for bulu while subtoxic aegi can wear down togekiss
- Chansey is able to check non-Dragon Dance Salamence and other special attackers such as Nidoking and Nihilego.
- Rhyperior is a good check to Moltres while providing Stealth Rock support.
- Umbreon can provide Wish support so that Tapu Bulu does not have to use Synthesis often. add how it also checks Salamence and aegislash for bulu
- Fire-types such as Entei and Moltres help deal with Jirachi, Amoonguss, and Aegislash that would otherwise wall it.

I don't really see the need for this. Chansey and Umbreon check the bird and rocks isn't something that is necessary to mention

Horn Leech allows Tapu Bulu to increase it's passive just a note to keep in mind is that passive recovery refers to health restored at the end of a turn (the Pokemon doesn't use a move to specifically restore health), so the phrase doesn't adequately describe Horn Leech's recovery recovery while still having a strong move to hit Primarina, Crawdaunt, and Lycanroc-D. Dazzling Gleam is able to sometimes OHKO Kommo-o while dealing good damage to Zarude add Buzzwole here as well. Toxic can be used to punish switch-ins such as Rotom-H and Salamence. Synthesis is reliable recovery when at low health, but should only be used sparingly due to its low PP. Heavy-Duty Boots is preferred to negate entry hazard damage, but Rocky Helmet can be used to punish contact moves from Zarude, Krookodile, and Gyarados.
