Moves
========

Taunt prevents opposing Defog users from removing its dual screens and can come in handy against Pokemon that rely on utility moves, such as Toxapex and Ferrothorn. Additionally, Taunt can be used to prevent a setup sweeper from boosting its stats. Reflect allows Tapu Koko's teammates to set up on physical attackers such as Kartana, Zygarde, and Tyranitar that are otherwise more difficult to set up against. On the other hand, Light Screen allows Tapu Koko's teammates to set up on some of the tier's most powerful special attackers, including Ash-Greninja, Tapu Lele, and opposing Tapu Koko. Finally, U-turn allows Tapu Koko to pivot into teammates without having to rely as heavily on prediction. However, Tapu Koko's high Speed can be detrimental at times due to it preventing a slow U-turn from occurring.

Set Details
========

Light Clay extends the duration of Reflect and Light Screen to eight turns, giving Tapu Koko's teammates a significant amount of time to set up and sweep before it has to be brought in again. 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature allow Tapu Koko to Speed tie with opposing Tapu Koko, outspeed key Defoggers like Tornadus-T and Mega Latios, and stop Greninja from setting entry hazards. The remaining EVs are placed into HP to maximize Tapu Koko's bulk, allowing it to set up dual screens as frequently as possible.

Usage Tips
========

Send in Tapu Koko early in the battle and set up both screens quickly to make way for your team's sweepers to set up. Use Taunt against Defog users to ensure that the screens aren't removed from the battlefield. Additionally, use Taunt against entry hazard users because teams with this set traditionally don't run entry hazard removal. Avoid letting Tapu Koko take needless damage, as it may need to set up screens again later in the game.

Team Options
========

This set fits best on fast-paced hyper offensive teams with several setup sweepers that can take advantage of dual screens to impose enough pressure on the opposing team for one of the team's setup sweepers to win the game. Suicide leads, such as Focus Sash Landorus-T and Greninja, provide crucial entry hazards to start the match and can gain momentum quickly so Tapu Koko can easily set up screens. Numerous setup sweepers appreciate the added bulk that Tapu Koko provides them. Zygarde, Magearna, Hawlucha, Manaphy, and Mew all appreciate Tapu Koko's dual screens and can set up with more ease and potentially sweep opposing teams with this support.

Personally I'd mention that on certain team comps it can look like it's just gonna be a normal Specs / Shuca set so you can get some surprise factor out of it that way as they might be inclined to go Gastrodon or Ferrothorn or Bulu etc to take an Electric move while you get off a screen for free.

Feedback, feel free to wait for QC before implementing these

Moves
-Under Reflect, I would rephrase it to something different than "impossible to set up against", as this makes it sound like you can only set up if you have Reflect up
-More of a nitpick, but I'd probably choose another mon besides Heatran for Light Screen; reason being there's other Pokemon that hit harder than it (Mega Latios, Magearna, Tapu Lele), and you mention "most powerful special attackers"

Set Details
-Just some rewording, yeah ik this is more GP stuff & you're only in bullet points but w/e (see below)

• Light Clay extends the duration of Reflect and Light Screen to 8 turns, allowing Tapu Koko's teammates a significant amount of time to set up and sweep before it has to be brought in again.
• Maximum Speed with a Timid Nature allows Tapu Koko to speed-tie with opposing Tapu Koko, outspeeding key defoggers like Tornadus-T and Mega Lati, as well as stopping entry hazards from Greninja.
• The remaining EVs are placed into HP to maximize Tapu Koko's bulk, allowing it to stay alive and set up dual screens as frequently as possible.

Usage Tips
-Small typo

• Use Taunt against Defog users to ensure that screens aren't removed from the battlefield. Additionally, use Taunt against entry hazard users because teams with this set traditionally don't run entry hazard removal.

Team Options
-I would probably give a couple more examples of setup sweepers that you can use alongside Tapu Koko, since ultimately the only reason you use this set is to support setup sweepers. Some other examples that you can use are Hawlucha, Gyarados, and Mew

Nice job overall

Finally, U-turn is a useful utility move that allows Tapu Koko to pivot into teammates without having to rely as heavily on prediction.

I'd mention Tapu Koko's high speed being a disadvatnge here because it can't get a slow turn on anything. Also indigo's suggestions are fine to implement, ig you dont need to do the gp stuff

Rest looks good, pretty straightforward mon so it's hard to go into detail without hand-holding the reader. 1/3

Setup sweepers, such as Zygarde, Magearna, Hawlucha, and Mew appreciate Tapu Koko's ability to set up dual screens that can let them set up with more ease and potentially sweep through opposing teams.

Add Mega Gyarados Manaphy in here too. Really nice work, qc 2/3, you're good to write it up.
