[SET COMMENTS]

* Choice Specs Tapu Lele is a powerful attacker that additionally assists its teammates by blocking priority moves with Psychic Surge. As it sets up Psychic Terrain automatically and deals more damage with regular moves thanks to Choice Specs, it is typically only worth Dynamaxing Tapu Lele to tank a strong attack.

* Psychic is Tapu Lele's most powerful STAB move, capable of 2HKOing all but the bulkiest non-resistant Pokemon and even denting Dynamaxed Pokemon such as offensive Landorus-T and Thundurus.

* Moonblast lets Tapu Lele hit Incineroar decently hard and deals massive damage to other Dark-types like Urshifu-S, Galarian Moltres, and Grimmsnarl.

* Dazzling Gleam lets Tapu Lele damage both foes at once, which also notably allows it to bypass redirection.

* Shadow Ball deals heavy damage to Metagross and provides super effective coverage for opposing Psychic-types, such as Cresselia and opposing Tapu Lele, while Thunderbolt lets Tapu Lele hit Celesteela as hard as possible.

* A Timid nature with 252 Speed EVs allows Tapu Lele to outspeed the likes of Landorus-T, Galarian Moltres, and Rotom-H.

Hey Eve! Nice to see you writing for VGC :) I only have a handful of points

• In the first BP, the second sentence is a little off. I'd keep the point about it not dynamaxing often, but Max Starfall doesn't need to be mentioned.
• An example or two of the Dynamax targets you dent with Psychic would be appreciated
• Adamant Urshifu (specify both forms btw, i.e. Urshifu-S) is pretty much only Choice Scarfed. You can change this mention to Rotom-H if you want, or just leave it at lando and moltres

QC 1/1
