Choice Specs Tapu Lele is one of the strongest in the tier, having no commonly used consistent defensive checks. Hidden Power Fire can OHKO most Mega Scizor and deal heavy damage to Ferrothorn without the chance of missing, unlike Focus Blast. Focus Blast hits Heatran and Ferrothorn and OHKOes Mega Tyranitar. Psyshock can hit Galarian Slowking, 2HKO Chansey, and OHKO Assault Vest Tornadus. Future Sight can help teammates like Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny wallbreak, as it deals good damage to switch-ins like Alomomola, Toxapex, and Landorus-T. Late-game cleaners like Mega Lopunny, Volcarona, Urshifu-R, and Bulk Up Great Tusk really appreciate Tapu Lele's ability to force damage onto would-be checks such as Corviknight and Heatran. However, Tapu Lele is very prediction reliant and can often invite in Steel-types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn, Iron Crown, and Mega Scizor. Additionally, it struggles against common revenge killers such as Urshifu-R, Ogerpon-W, and Mega Lopunny. Therefore, a strong defensive core is recommended when building around Tapu Lele to minimize the impact of these offensive threats, especially having a switch-in to the aforementioned Steel-types that may come in on a Psychic or Moonblast. Good switch-ins to these include Heatran and Alomomola, with the latter serving as a pivot with Flip Turn to safely get Tapu Lele on the field against passive foes like Toxapex and Gliscor.

Choice Specs Lele is one of the strongest wallbreakers, having no common, consistent, defensive checks. It can force a ton of damage/kills, and can revenge kill slower Pokemon like Landorus-T, Raging Bolt, and Alomomola. Hidden Power [Fire] can OHKO most Scizor-Mega, and deal at least 80% heavy damage to Ferrothorn at a higher accuracy than without the risk of missing like Focus Blast. Focus Blast hits Heatran and Ferrothorn, and can OHKO Tyranitar-Mega. Psyshock can hit Slowking-Galar on its weaker defense stat, 2HKO Chansey, and OHKO Assault Vest Tornadus. u forgot to talk abt fsight Late-game cleaners like Ogerpon-Wellspring, Lopunny-Mega, Volcarona, Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, and Bulk Up Great Tusk really appreciate Tapu Lele's ability to, as it can nitpick but this flows better methinks force damage onto would-be checks such as Corviknight and Heatran. Tapu Lele is very prediction reliant, as you really want to Focus Blast Steel-types. Tapu Lele can struggle to being revenge killed by many relevant Pokemon, due to it's mediocre Speed stat, being slower than Zapdos, Ogerpon-Wellspring, and Urshifu-Rapid-Strike for example. However, Tapu Lele is very prediction reliant and can often invite in Steel-types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn, Iron Crown, and Mega Scizor. Additionally, it struggles being revenge killed by common threats such as Urshifu-R, Ogerpon-W, and Mega Lopunny. Due to this Therefore, a strong defensive core is recommended when building around Tapu Lele to minimize the impact of these offensive threats, especially having a switch-in to the aforementioned Steel-types that may come in on a Psychic or Moonblast., (add period) (remove comma) such as Scizor-Mega, Ferrothorn, and Heatran. Good switch-ins to these include Heatran and Alomomola, with the latter serving as a pivot with Flip Turn to safely get Tapu Lele on the field versus passive foes like Toxapex and Gliscor. Additionally, Iron Crown resists Tapu Lele's STABs, while being neutral to Focus Blast. This makes having a Ground-type that can block Iron Crown's Volt Switch and threaten with Earthquake quite important. think u can just list iron crown above with the other steel-types that you need answers for, still works out as heatran can check crown quite well

(remove space) Choice Specs Lele is one of the strongest wallbreakers (in the tier?), having no common, commonly used consistent (RC) defensive checks. Hidden Power Fire can OHKO most Scizor-Mega Mega Scizor (RC) and deal at least heavy damage to Ferrothorn without the chance of missing, (AC) unlike like Focus Blast. Focus Blast hits Heatran and Ferrothorn (RC) and can OHKO OHKOes Tyranitar-Mega Mega Tyranitar. Psyshock can hit Slowking-Galar Galarian Slowking on its weaker defense stat (you don't rly need to specify), 2HKO Chansey, and OHKO Assault Vest Tornadus. Future Sight can help teammates like Urshifu Rapid Strike, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny wallbreak, as it deals good damage to switch-ins like Alomomola, Toxapex, and Landorus-T. Late-game cleaners like Lopunny-Mega Mega Lopunny, Volcarona, Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Urshifu-R, and Bulk Up Great Tusk really appreciate Tapu Lele's ability to force damage onto would-be checks such as Corviknight or and Heatran respectively (respectively here doesn't work as there are 4 mons, it isnt clear which mons u r referring to. consider removing it / restructuring or splitting the sentence). However, Tapu Lele is very prediction reliant and can often invite in Steel-types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn, Iron Crown, and Mega Scizor. Additionally, it struggles being revenge killed by common threats against common revenge killers such as Urshifu-R, Ogerpon-W, and Mega Lopunny. Therefore, a strong defensive core is recommended when building around Tapu Lele to minimize the impact of these offensive threats, especially having a switch-in to the aforementioned Steel-types that may come in on a Psychic or Moonblast. Good switch-ins to these include Heatran and Alomomola, (why did you bold the comma?) with the latter serving as a pivot with Flip Turn to safely get Tapu Lele on the field versus against passive foes like Toxapex and Gliscor.
