Choice Scarf Tapu Lele functions as a great speed control option while still retaining its devastating STAB combination and good wallbreaking power. Its STAB moves threaten a myriad of foes such as Zamazenta, Great Tusk, and unboosted Dragapult that would otherwise outspeed Tapu Lele, while Focus Blast nails Steel-types like Melmetal, Ferrothorn, and Kingambit. Hidden Power Fire allows Tapu Lele to hit Mega Scizor and Gholdengo super effectively, while Psyshock lets Tapu Lele break through specially defensive walls, 2HKOing Galarian Slowking as an example. Future Sight allows Tapu Lele to set up its teammates that otherwise struggle with Poison-types and physical walls, like Zamazenta or Mega Lopunny, to pose an even larger threat considering their best checks like Toxapex and Alomomola are reticent to switch in lest they get blasted.

Tapu Lele fits well on balance teams looking for a way to solve their speed control problems while retaining good power. Fighting-types like the aforementioned pair as well as Urshifu-R make natural partners for Tapu Lele, as both break one another's checks; the Fighting-types break through troublesome Steel-types like Ferrothorn and specially defensive Heatran so that Tapu Lele does not have to risk Focus Blast's accuracy woes while Tapu Lele scares out Poison-types like Toxapex to let the trio of Fighting-types break through. Said Fighting-types also help wonders against Pursuit trappers such as Mega Tyranitar and Kingambit attempting to trap and remove Tapu Lele. Mega Tyranitar is another great partner for Tapu Lele, as it removes a pair of Tapu Lele's biggest checks in Gholdengo and Galarian Slowking thanks to Pursuit while dealing major damage to specially defensive stopgaps such as Heatran. Hazard setters like Gliscor and Ferrothorn also pair well with Tapu Lele, as they weaken Tapu Lele's checks like offensive Gholdengo and Ferrothorn into range of being KOed by one of Tapu Lele's STAB options or Hidden Power Fire, lessening its burden of prediction.

Choice Scarf Tapu Lele functions as a great speed control option while still retaining its devastating STAB combination and good power. Its STAB moves threaten a myriad of foes such as Zamazenta, Choice Specs Iron Valiant, and Swords Dance Urshifu-R Great Tusk and unboosted Dragapult I think these were a bit too specific so I opted for Pokemon that outpeed it naturally and I felt an S rank Mon deserved a mention here.that would otherwise outspeed Tapu Lele, while Focus Blast nails Steel-types like Melmetal, Ferrothorn, and Kingambit. Hidden Power Fire allows Tapu Lele to hit its few remaining checks in Mega Scizor and Gholdengo super-effectively, while Psyshock lets Tapu Lele break through specially defensive walls like Galarian Slowking. Future Sight allows Tapu Lele to set up its teammates that otherwise struggle with Poison-types and physical walls, like Zamazenta or Mega Lopunny, to pose an even larger threat considering their best checks like Toxapex and Alomomola are reticent to switch in lest they get blasted.

Fighting-types like the aforementioned pair as well as Urshifu-R make natural partners for Tapu Lele, as both break one anothers' checks; the Fighting-types break through troublesome Steel-types like Ferrothorn and specially defensive Heatran so that for Tapu Lele does not have to risk Focus Blast's accuracy woes while Tapu Lele scares out Poison-types like Toxapex to let the Fighting-types like who? break through. Mega Tyranitar is another great partner for Tapu Lele as it removes a pair of Tapu Lele's biggest checks in Gholdengo and Galarian Slowking thanks to with Pursuit while dealing major damage to specially defensive stopgaps such as Heatran; Kingambit also does this, but it does not appreciate its Sucker Punch being nullified by Psychic Terrain. you want to sell why lele is a good partner so I think just sticking with the Ttar mention is good enough.Hazard setters like Gliscor and Ferrothorn also pair well with Tapu Lele as they weaken Tapu Lele's checks like Mega Scizor into range of being KOed I think a more relevant calc here would be justified since Hidden Power Fire still doesn’t kill after rocks. by one of Tapu Lele's STAB options, lessening its burden of prediction. here you could also mention how Lele is vulnerable to being trapped by pursuit so it appreciates Pokémon that can threaten pursuit trappers such as Kingambit and Mega tar.

Choice Scarf Tapu Lele functions as a great speed control option while still retaining its devastating STAB combination and good power can specify that it can still more or less act as a wallbreaker. Its STAB moves threaten a myriad of foes such as Zamazenta, non-Choice Scarf Urshifu-R Great Tusk qc1 changed this example and i agree bc its generally too scary to stay in on shifu and risk it being scarf unless you already find that out, tusk is a simpler one, and unboosted Dragapult that would otherwise outspeed Tapu Lele, while Focus Blast nails Steel-types like Melmetal, Ferrothorn, and Kingambit. Hidden Power Fire allows Tapu Lele to hit Mega Scizor and Gholdengo super-effectively, while Psyshock lets Tapu Lele break through specially defensive walls like Galarian Slowking <= would be nice to mention that this is a 2hko. Future Sight allows Tapu Lele to set up its teammates that otherwise struggle with Poison-types and physical walls, like Zamazenta or Mega Lopunny, to pose an even larger threat considering their best checks like Toxapex and Alomomola are reticent to switch in lest they get blasted <= i wanna remove this but its so funny i want to see what GP does please keep it this is brilliant.

one sentence here on the team archetypes this fits on Fighting-types like the aforementioned pair as well as Urshifu-R make natural partners for Tapu Lele, as both break one anothers' checks; the Fighting-types break through troublesome Steel-types like Ferrothorn and specially defensive Heatran so that Tapu Lele does not have to risk Focus Blast's accuracy woes while Tapu Lele scares out Poison-types like Toxapex to let the trio of Fighting-types break through. Mega Tyranitar is another great partner for Tapu Lele as it removes a pair of Tapu Lele's biggest checks in Gholdengo and Galarian Slowking thanks to Pursuit while dealing major damage to specially defensive stopgaps such as Heatran. Hazard setters like Gliscor and Ferrothorn also pair well with Tapu Lele as they weaken Tapu Lele's checks like Mega Scizor <= better example here, see qc1 into range of being KOed by one of Tapu Lele's STAB options, lessening its burden of prediction. need to mention the pursuit weakness, qc1 brought it up but it was ignored
