Monotype Tapu Koko (Fairy)

Tapu Koko @ Electric Seed
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 232 HP / 24 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Stored Power / Dazzling Gleam
- Calm Mind
- Roost
Tapu Koko is an electrifying setup sweeper on Fairy teams that can boost with Electric Surge + Electric Seed and Calm Mind and maintain longevity with Roost. The given EV spread ensures Electric-types like Choice Band Zerora and Life Orb Alolan Raichu only 3HKOes Tapu Koko after a boost to Defense and Special Defense. This is important since Fairy teams lack an Electric immunity and are vulnerable to repeated Volt Switches. Stored Power targets Electric-resistant Pokemon like Amoonguss, Magnezone, and Dragalge, but Dazzling Gleam is an option to hit Electric-resistant and -immune Dark-types like Hydreigon, Zarude, and Krookodile. Tapu Koko falls short in dealing with Ground-types like Excadrill and Hippowdon, so teammates like Azumarill, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini make great partners. Klefki is also a great partner that provides Spikes and dual screens support to make it easier for Tapu Koko to set up.

Tapu Koko is an electrifying setup sweeper on Fairy teams because of its Electric Surge in conjunction with Electric Seed, Calm Mind, and Roost ensuring longevity. (this is kind of awkward phrasing - don't think you need to mention electric surge or roost specifically, just say electric seed and calm mind allows you to get multiple boosts easily) The given spread ensures Electric-types like Choice Band Zerora and Life Orb Alolan Raichu 3HKOes after a boost in defense and special defense. This is important since Fairy teams lack an Electric immunity, making them prone to Volt Switch spam. Stored Power targets Electric resistant Pokemon like Rotom-W (not an elec resist and also takes a ton from tbolt, another elec mon like zera / koko is better), Amoonguss, Magnezone, and Dragalge but Dazzling Gleam is also an option to hit Dark-type Electric resistances like Hydreigon, Krookodile, and Zarude. Tapu Koko falls short in dealing with Ground-types like Excadrill and Hippowdon, so teammates like Azumarill, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini make great partners. Entry hazard setters in Klefki, Clefable, and Galarian Weezing applies pressure to pick up more KOes. (just make this klefki - mention screens support since you kinda need it for this set and spikes. the team ur talking about doesnt have hazards outside of spikes anyway. also i'd put this before the previous sentence)

QC 1/1

it feels kinda empty removing eseed and roost out of the sentence and i merged cm+roost+eseed as an introduction/overview for the set. i think saying roost ensures longevity in the same sentence also correlates to cm and seed. implemented

Tapu Koko is an electrifying setup sweeper on Fairy teams because of its Electric Surge in conjunction with Electric Seed, Calm Mind, and Roost ensuring longevity that can boost with Electric Surge + Electric Seed and Calm Mind and maintain longevity with Roost.(Reworded the original to make it more clear) The given EV spread ensures Electric-types like Choice Band Zerora and Life Orb Alolan Raichu only 3HKOes Tapu Koko after a boost in defense and special defense to Defense and Special Defense. This is important,(AC) since Fairy teams lack an Electric immunity,(RC) making them prone to Volt Switch spam and are vulnerable to repeated Volt Switches. Stored Power targets Electric-(AH)resistant Pokemon like Amoonguss, Magnezone, and Dragalge,(AC) but Dazzling Gleam is also an option to hit Dark-type Electric resistances Electric-resistant Dark-types like Hydreigon, Krookodile, and Zarude. Tapu Koko falls short in dealing with Ground-types like Excadrill and Hippowdon, so teammates like Azumarill, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini make great partners.

GP 1/1. LMK if you disagree with some of the changes. BTW the link that you put isn't a replay (I think you meant this: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8monotype-1380373726-j9yvs4rpdw86r7lmnaoaz6g8hbskaagpw).

Dazzling Gleam is an option to hit Electric-resistant Dark-types like Hydreigon, Krookodile, and Zarude

Please change this to "Dazzling Gleam is an option to hit Electric-resistant and -immune Dark-types like Hydreigon, Zarude, and Krookodile." Forgot that Krookodile isn't Electric-resistant . Sorry for the inconvenience!
