Tapu Bulu's wallbreaking potential is evident from the fact that various types such as Water and Ground have started using sets like Sludge Bomb Toxapex and Curse Mega Steelix to deal with Tapu Bulu. However, this set allows Tapu Bulu to circumvent around such checks. It can set up a Substitute against them and disable moves that check Tapu Bulu like Sludge Bomb from Toxapex and Heavy Slam from Celesteela and Mega Steelix, allowing it to safely set up using Swords Dance and break defensive core for its teammates and making it near impossible to beat for types such as Ground and Water. HP and Defense investment allows its Substitute to not break to Landours-T's U-turn, and the Speed investment lets it outspeed Mega Tyranitar and base 70 Speed Pokemon like Bisharp. Mega Diancie and Tapu Koko make good teammates for Tapu Bulu, as they help check troublesome Flying-type Pokemon for Tapu Bulu. They additionally provide Stealth Rock support and a fast pivot, respectively.
