Choice Scarf (Tapu Lele) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psychic
- Moonblast
- Focus Blast
- Psyshock / Future Sight / Hidden Power Fire
[SET DETAILS]
Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is the premier speed control option in the tier, outrunning and OHKOing common offensive threats such as Baxcalibur, Swords Dance Urshifu-R, and non-Booster Energy Iron Valiant. Additionally, Psychic Terrain blocks priority moves like Mega Lopunny's Fake Out and Weavile's Ice Shard, which is useful for Tapu Lele itself and teammates that aim for a sweep such as Sneasler and Volcarona. Focus Blast lets Tapu Lele hit common Steel-types such as Heatran and Ferrothorn. Psyshock allows Tapu Lele to hit foes with weaker Defense stats like Assault Vest Tornadus-T and Volcarona, along with shutting down Calm Mind Tera Poison Cresselia. Future Sight can be used to hit in tandem with teammates such as Urshifu-R and Zamazenta, threatening Toxapex and Zapdos looking to switch into their attacks. Alternatively, Hidden Power Fire nails Mega Scizor along with hitting Ferrothorn more consistently than Focus Blast. Tera Psychic is the premier Tera option, as it boosts Tapu Lele's Psychic STAB attacks to ludicrous heights, smashing through most neutral targets such as Landorus-T, Rotom-W, and Tapu Koko. Tera Fairy is a niche alternative, boosting Moonblast to powerful levels while minimizing the threat of Pursuit from Mega Tyranitar and Weavile. Despite having Focus Blast, Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn are still effective checks to Tapu Lele, so teammates such as Gliscor and Mega Lopunny can be used to mitigate this. Sneasler and Hawlucha can both utilize Psychic Terrain to activate Unburden while helping break through Mega Scizor, allowing Tapu Lele to clean up with ease late-game.

Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is the premier speed control option in the tier, outrunning and OHKOing common offensive threats such as Baxcalibur, Swords Dance Urshifu-R, and Iron Valiant lacking Booster Energy. Additionally, Psychic Terrain blocks common priority options moves like Mega Lopunny's Fake Out and Weavile's Ice Shard, (AC) which is not only useful to Tapu Lele itself, but also to teammates looking to sweep such as Sneasler and Volcarona. Focus Blast gives Tapu Lele a strong option to hit common Steel-types such as Heatran and Ferrothorn. Psyshock allows Tapu Lele to hit foes weaker on their physically defensive side with weaker Defense like Assault Vest Tornadus-T and Volcarona, (AC) as well as shutting down Calm Mind Tera Poison Cresselia with Calm Mind. Future Sight can be used to set up lethal (Try and use a different word than "lethal," preferably something that doesn't allude to violence.) coordinated attacks with teammates such as Urshifu-R and Zamazenta, hitting Toxapex and Zapdos looking to mitigate switch into their attacks. Hidden Power Fire nails Mega Scizor, as well as Ferrothorn more consistently than Focus Blast. Tera Psychic is the premier Tera option, boosting Tapu Lele's Psychic STAB attacks to ludicrous heights, smashing through most neutral targets with little to no chip, such as Landorus-T, Rotom-W, and Tapu Koko. Tera Fairy is a niche alternative, instead boosting Moonblast to powerful levels while minimizing the threat of Pursuit from Mega Tyranitar and Weavile, but is generally inferior to Tera Psychic (You already mention that Tera Fairy is a niche alternative, so you don't need to reiterate that it's inferior to Tera Psychic). Gholdengo is a notable roadblock for Tapu Lele, so teammates who that can threaten it or force a Tera are appreciated such as Weavile, Heatran, and Landorus-T. (Technically, moving the "such as ... Lando-T" portion before the "are appreciated" portion is better grammar, but the way that it is currently written is also OK.) Despite Focus Blast, Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn are still effective checks, (AC) so teammates such as Gliscor and Mega Lopunny can be used to mitigate this. Sneasler and Hawlucha can both utilize Psychic Terrain to activate Unburden while helping break through Gholdengo, (AC) allowing Tapu Lele to clean up with ease in the later stages of a game.

First off, very good check returning from hiatus. Only one true error I would say, nice to see how much you retained!
Make sure to always include the [SET] in your check as well; there were no issues with this one, but that is also part of the GP check
"outrunning and OHKOing" was fine as was, that was a subjective, lateral change
You introduced an error in the Hidden Power Fire sentnce, "along hitting Ferrothorn" (missing the with)
The comma you removed in the Tera sentence was a correct comma
"to activate Unburden" was correct, adding "their ability" is unnecessary
