[SET COMMENTS]

Choice Specs Tapu Lele functions as a potent wallbreaker, being able to muscle through common defensive cores with its STAB move combination and coverage. Moonblast and Psychic largely cover each other's weaknesses, making it difficult for defensive pieces such as Ting-Lu and Toxapex to switch in. Psyshock hits Pokemon with high Special Defense, such as Blissey and Galarian Slowking. Focus Blast targets Steel-types such as Kingambit, Heatran, and Melmetal, while Hidden Power Fire threatens Mega Scizor, Gholdengo, and Ferrothorn more reliably. Focus Blast is generally preferred to avoid getting fully walled by Heatran, which can otherwise switch in reliably.

Fighting-types such as Urshifu-R and Zamazenta appreciate Tapu Lele's ability to punch through checks such as Toxapex and Mega Venusaur. In return, both teammates break through Steel-types, and Urshifu-R beats Moltres, enabling Tapu Lele to use its STAB moves more freely they also beat Pursuit trappers that can sometimes be problematic for Tapu Lele. Tapu Lele also appreciates Pursuit users such as Mega Tyranitar and Kingambit trapping Ghost-types such as Dragapult. Tapu Lele often finds itself vulnerable to faster threats such as Dragapult, meaning fast teammates such as Choice Scarf Hisuian Samurott are appreciated. Tapu Lele also appreciates Spikes setters such as Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn, with Ting-Lu providing a good switch-in to both Gholdengo and Dragapult, which Tapu Lele struggles with. Tapu Lele values Spikes, as it chips common checks such as Heatran, allowing Tapu Lele to clean up games more easily. In general, setup sweepers benefit from Psychic Terrain support, notably including Dragonite, Dragon Dance Dragapult, and Volcarona, as it gives them an immunity to powerful priority moves from Pokemon such as Kingambit and Mega Lopunny. Tapu Lele also breaks Pokemon such as Ting-Lu for these teammates.

Choice Specs Tapu Lele functions as a potent wallbreaker, being able to muscle through common defensive cores involving which pokemon? and whittle down checks deffo filler with its STAB combination and coverage, enabling itself and teammates later on in the game with its enhanced breaking powers. Moonblast and Psychic are its primary STABs, filler largely covering cover each others weaknesses, making it difficult for defensive pieces such as Ting Lu to switch in on psychics, and mons such as Toxapex and Moltres to switch in on Mooblasts Ting Lu, Toxapex and Moltres to switch in consistently original is too clunky and can be reformatted. Psyshock is used in order to hit pokemon with high special defences, such as the Blissey line Blissey and Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking. Focus Blast can be used in order to hit Heatran, Melmetal and Kingambit Steel-types even corv/crown dont like fblast for heavy damage, while another option is Hidden Power Fire, which can be used to hit Mega-Scizor, Gholdengo, and Ferrothorn more reliably. A standard max speed timid spread is used in order to outspeed threats such as Terapagos, Samurott-Hisui and Kyurem, being able to reliably chunk or KO each one. no need to explain basic EV spreads

Fighting types such as Urshifu and Zamazenta appreciate Tapu Lele's ability to punch through checks such as Toxapex and Mega-Venusaur, with the aforementioned return breaking steels and fire types such as Heatran and Moltres, and Zamazenta also effectively breaking steels, enabling Lele to click its STABs more freely. this phrase is very clunky - you could rephrase to say they both break through steels, and THEN bring up urshifu breaking moltres Tapu Lele also appreciates pursuit users such as Mega-Tyranitar and Weavile being able to trap psychic types such as specially defensive Galarian-Slowking and Iron-Crown. Tapu Lele is often vunerable to steel types, meaning steel switch-ins such as Gholdengo and Moltres are appreciated. It is also prone to revenge killing by what? due to its relatively low speed, meaning fast speed control options such as Dragapult and Zamazenta are appreciated, the former in return receiving immunity from priority such as Kingambit's Sucker Punch zama does not care abt priority. Tapu-Lele also appreciates spike setters such as Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn, the aforementioned providing Lele a dark and steel switch in respectively. also poorly phrased, which one provides the resist because neither resists both dark/steel, also u didnt even mention WHY lele likes spikes In general set-up sweepers appreciate psychic terrain support and help breaking checks, notably including Dragonite, Dragon Dance Dragapult and Volcarona this is also really vague and i reccomend u either elaborate or have better examples

Psyshock is used in order to hit pokemon with high special defences, such as Blissey and Galarian Slowking. Focus Blast can be used in order to hit most steels for heavy damage like who? Kingambit, Heatran and Melmetal can be mentioned here, while another option is Hidden Power Fire, which can be used to hit Mega-Scizor, Gholdengo, and Ferrothorn more reliably. You also want to mention why focus blast is usually preferred and the drawback of running hidden power fire which makes you a bit worse into things like Heatran.

Fighting types such as Urshifu and Zamazenta appreciate Lele's ability to punch through checks such as Toxapex and Mega-Venusaur, with both breaking through steels and Urshifu beating Moltres, enabling Lele to click its STABs more freely. Lele also appreciates pursuit users such as Mega (RH) Tyranitar and Weavile Kingambit More relevant being able to trap psychic types Ghost types such as specially Dragapult.defensive Galarian-Slowking and Iron-Crown. Tapu Lele is often vunerable to steel types, meaning steel switch-ins such as Gholdengo and Moltres are appreciated Tapu Lele doesn’t really struggle with steel types and we mentioned how Gambit can trap some variants of ghold. It is also prone to revenge killing from faster threats such as Dragapult, Tapu Koko and Mega Lopunny due to its relatively low speed, meaning fast speed control options such as Dragapult and Zamazenta are appreciated while most of this is true I feel this can be reworded because Dragapult and Zamazenta doesn’t really beat opposing Dragapult outright. I suggest mentioning it’s vulnerability to stuff like Dragapult for example and mention teammates that threaten Dragapult for it and Koko etc. , the former in return receiving immunity from priority such as Kingambit's Sucker Punch nothing is immune to sucker punch you can take advantage of it however. . Tapu-Lele also appreciates spike setters such as Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn, with Ting-Lu Ting-lu is also a good check to Dragapult and Gholdengo mons that Tapu lele both struggle with. providing a dark switchin and Ferrothorn providing a Steel switchin. Lele appreciates spikes as they chip common checks such as Heatran, allowing Lele to clean up games more easily. In general set-up sweepers appreciate psychic terrain support and help breaking checks Like who?, notably including Dragonite, Dragon Dance Dragapult and Volcarona, all appreciating Lele breaking mons such as Ting-Lu, while also being given an immunity to priority Yes Tapu Lele blocks priority but from who?.

Choice Specs Tapu Lele functions as a potent wallbreaker, being able to muscle through common defensive cores with its STAB combination and coverage, enabling itself and teammates later on in the game with its enhanced breaking powers Fluff.. Moonblast and Psychic largely cover each others weaknesses, making it difficult for defensive pieces such as Ting Lu, Toxapex and Moltres to switch in consistently This kinda makes it sound like they all switch into lele which isn’t really the case you can restructure this to say how it threatens them I would also personally stick with the ting Lu and pex mention molt feels a bit weird . Psyshock is used in order to hit pokemon with high special defences, such as Blissey and Galarian Slowking. Focus Blast can be used in order to hit steels such as Kingambit, Heatran and Melmetal for heavy damage, while another option is Hidden Power Fire, which can be used to hit Mega-Scizor, Gholdengo, and Ferrothorn more reliably. Focus Blast is generally preferred as to avoid getting fully walled by Heatran, which can otherwise switch in reliably.

Fighting types such as Urshifu and Zamazenta appreciate Tapu Lele's ability to punch through checks such as Toxapex and Mega-Venusaur, with both breaking through steels and Urshifu beating Moltres, enabling Lele to click its STABs more freely You can also mention how these fighting types pressure pursuit trappers although it doesn’t happen very often specs lele can get trapped by gambit/tar when locked into psychic moves esp after a ko. Tapu Lele also appreciates pursuit users such as Mega (RH)Tyranitar and Kingambit being able to Pursuit trap Ghost types such as specially Dragapult. Tapu Lele also finds itself vunerable to faster threats such as Dragapult, meaning fast teammates such as Choice Scarf Samurott-Hisui are appreciated. Tapu-Lele also appreciates spike setters such as Ting-Lu and Ferrothorn, with Ting-Lu providing a good switchin to both Gholdengo and Dragapult, both of which Lele struggles with. Lele appreciates spikes as they chip common checks such as Heatran, allowing Tapu Lele to clean up games more easily. In general set-up sweepers appreciate psychic terrain support, notably including Dragonite, Dragon Dance Dragapult and Volcarona, all appreciating Lele breaking mons such as Ting-Lu, while also being given an immunity to powerful priority from mons such as Kingambit and Mega Lopunny.
