[SET COMMENTS]
Tapu Lele is a great Choice Specs user due to its Psychic typing, wide movepool, and Psychic surge, making it a powerful wallbreaker on Fairy teams. Psychic is a powerful STAB move under Psychic terrain allowing it to threaten Fire- and Poison-types that resist Moonblast such as Rotom-H, Mega Venusaur, and Toxapex while Moonblast threatens Dark-and Dragon-types such as Mandibuzz, Mega Sableye, Latios, and Dragonite. Focus Blast is to nail Steel-types such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Melmetal which resist both of Tapu Lele's STAB moves. Thunderbolt allows Tapu Lele to hit Flying-types such as Celesteela and Mantine, and Water-types such as Slowbro and Tapu Fini. However, Hidden Power Fire is an option for a more reliable way to hit Steel-types such as Scizor and Mega Scizor. 252 Special Attack EVs is to make Tapu Lele as strong as possible while 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature allows it to outpace Pokemon such as Mega Garchomp, Nidoking, and Heatran. Its ability Psychic Surge also has the benefit of blocking priority, nullifying checks such as Scizor, and Bisharp although it can’t switch into them.

All teammates appreciate Tapu Lele's ability to deal with Poison-types such as Mega Venusaur, Nidoking, and Galarian Weezing while providing Psychic Terrain, preventing priority moves from Pokemon like Mega Scizor, Mega Lopunny, and Dragonite. Tapu Koko easily checks Water- and Flying-types that give Tapu Lele trouble such as Urshifu-R, Slowking, Celesteela and Tornadus-Therian with Thunderbolt. Tapu Bulu easily checks Ground-types such as Garchomop, and Choice Scarf Landorus-T. Mega Diancie is a great Stealth Rock setter, and Tapu Lele appreciates its ability to check threatening Fire-, Flying-, and Bug-types such as Volcarona, Zapdos, and Mega Pinsir is great. Additionally, it can break through Steel-types with the combination of Mystical Fire and Earth Power. Klefki is a great partner due to its Poison immunity, Steel neutrality, and ability to set up dual screens so it can help Tapu Lele survive attacks better . It can also threaten physical setup sweepers such as Excadrill and Mega Scizor with Foul Play, while Thunder Wave allows Tapu Lele to threaten an OHKO on Pokemon such as Gengar and Urshifu, and Spikes can wear down the opposing team allowing Tapu Lele to claim KOs more easily.

With its decent natural bulk, good offensive typing, and Fightinium Z attached to blow away counters such as Blissey with an All Out Pummeling, Tapu Lele is a great setup sweeper on Fairy teams. Calm Mind allows Tapu Lele to setup on Pokemon such as Mega Sableye and Kommo-o, and become a fearsome sweeper. Its ability to setup on Poison-types such as Galarain-Weezing and Mega Venusaur thanks to its shoring of special bulk is quite useful. Psychic is the main STAB, hitting very hard in conjunction with Psychic Terrain especially after a Calm Mind boost and deals with threatening Poison-types like Mega Venusaur and Toxapex. Moonblast offers Tapu Lele a decently strong Fairy STAB move to nail Dark- and Dragon-types such as Mega Sableye, Dragonite, and Latios. Focus Blast powered up to a brutally powerful All-Out Pummeling can smash usual counters like Blissey, while nailing Steel-types such as Ferrothorn, Offensive Mega-Scizor and Heatran with a single boost. Maximum Special Attack investment allows Tapu Lele to hit as hard as possible, and 252 Speed with a Timid Nature is there to outspeed threats such as Nidoking, Heatran, and Mega-Garchomp, while speed tying with Pokemon such as Kyurem and Galarian Darmanitan.

Tapu Lele's teammates appreciate its ability to deal with Poison-types such as Mega Venusaur, Nidoking, and Galarian Weezing, letting them pressure the opposing team even more. Tapu Koko can check faster threats to Tapu Lele such as Cinderace, Hydreigon, and Urshifu-S, while taking care of a hard-wall in Celesteela, so Tapu Lele can more easily sweep. Tapu Bulu is great at removing Ground-types such as Garchomp, Choice Scarf Landorus-T, and Mega Garchomp. While dealing with water types that check Tapu-Lele such as Urshifu-R, and Mega Swampert. Mega Diancie can bounce entry hazards like Stealth Rock and Spikes that would wear down Tapu Lele, and It can OHKO Steel-types such as Mega Scizor in Psychic Terrain and Heatran with Mystical Fire and Earth Power. It can also setup Stealth Rock itself to help Tapu Lele more easily sweep and KO Flying-, Fire-, and Bug-types such as Zapdos, Torkoal, and Mega Pinsir with Diamond Storm. Klefki's assortment of moves is perfect for Tapu Lele due to it having dual screens to allow Tapu Lele to take hits better , Thunder Wave to slow down threats that Tapu Lele is otherwise unable to outspeed such as Gengar and Mega Lopunny, Spikes to chip opponents down to Tapu Lele's KO range, and Foul Play to punish physical attackers that normally threaten Tapu Lele such as Mega Scizor, Excadrill, and Melmetal. Additionally, its immunity to Poison-type attacks is always useful against Poison-types like Alolan Muk, and Galarian Slowking. Mimikyu helps with the Ghost- and Psychic matchup, defeating Pokemon such as Aegislash and Galarian Slowking.

Other Options
=============

Fairy
--------
Psyshock can replace Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Fire on Tapu Lele's Choice Specs set to pressure special walls like Blissey and Galarian Slowking instead of being walled by it. Shadow ball is a good move on the Choice Specs set letting it hit Pokemon such as Aegislash and Galarian Corsola. Choice Scarf can be opted for in lieu of Choice Specs and is great for outspeeding faster pokemon such as Garchomp, and Keldeo. However, Tapu Lele loses its ability to act as a strong wallbreaker without Choice Specs.

Checks and Counters
===================

Fairy
--------
**Steel-types**: Steel-types such as Jirachi, Aegislash, can come into Tapu Lele's attacks and threaten it with their STAB moves. Ferrothorn, Heatran , and Celesteela, while needing to be wary of its coverage, can come in when its Choice-locked into a move like Psychic and Moonblast and force it out.

**Specially Defensive Walls**: Specially defensive walls such as Blissey and Galarian Slowking completely wall Tapu Lele, forcing it out by threatening it with Toxic or Sludge Bomb, respectively. However, both of these Pokemon need to be wary of Psyshock Tapu Lele variants.

**Status**: Poison and Paralysis, both heavily cripple Tapu Lele. Paralysis slows down Tapu Lele allowing it to be OHKOed by slower pokemon such as Mega Garchomp, and Alolan Muk, and Toxic puts it on a timer limiting its effectiveness throughout the game.

** Revenge Killers**: Faster Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Excadrill, Both Urshifu forms, Gunk Shot Greninja, and Cinderace take care of Tapu Lele with their powerful STAB or coverage attacks. However, they need to be cautious of Choice Scarf Tapu Lele variants.

Paragraph 1: These dont stay here, its just there to show you need 2 paragraphs and what information goes with which.
With a choice specs a great Special attack, and the unique psychic surge, tapu lele is a staple on fairy teams. I feel like this can be reworded a bit to get the point across better, something like Tapu Lele is a great Choice Specs user due to its great Special Attack stat, good movepool and its ability Psychic Surge which makes it a powerful wallbreaker for Fairy-type teams. Psychic is a powerful stab move under the terrain allowing it to threaten pokemon such as M-Venasaur, Toxapex, and Galarian Weezing. Moonblast is its other stab being able to threaten dark tyes that are immune to psychic such as Urshifu, Greninja, and Mega Sableye. Focus Blast is to nail steel types such as Ferrothorn, Hetran, and Melmetal. And you can choose between thunderbolt to hit water and flying types such as Celesteela, Corviknight, Mantine, and Pelliper, and Hidden Power Fire is for a more reliable hit on steel typers to hit pokemon such as Scizor, Aegislash, and Jirachi. And 252 evs are used to maximize its special attack to outspeed and hit as hard as possible. This sentence is a bit confusing but for the EVs just say something like 252 Special Attack EVs is to make Tapu Lele as strong as possible while 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature allows it to outpace Pokemon such as (put at least two examples here)

Paragraph 2:
Offensive threats such as Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu benefit from removing poison types such as Mega Venusaur and add another example here so they can start smashing the opposing team. Go into more detail about how Tapu Koko can help with Urshifu-S and Greninja, and how it can greatly help in the Flying- and the Water-type matchup thanks to its typing. Go into how Tapu Bulu can take care of Landorus and Hippowdon and how it can help with taking down Blissey. Mega Diancie is a amazing partner to Lele due to being able to easily dispatch pokemon such as Mega Scizor and, Ferrothorn if running Hidden Power Fire, and Hetran and Bisharp with Focus Blast, and it loves not being worried about priority such as Scizor’s Bullet Punch and can use Mystical Fire to finish it off. and Azumarill’s Aqua Jet. While that is true, Mega Diancie hates taking a Play Rough. I would also mention how Mega Diancie can run Stealth Rock and take care of troubling Pokemon such as Zapdos and Mega Charizard Y for Tapu Lele. And Azumarill likes Tapu Lele for taking care of itself likes to get rid of Mega Venusaur and Galarian Wheezing so it can more easily sweep in the Poison-type matchup. Mention that it can sweep fire once Volcanion is gone. While pokemon such as Alolan Muk, Urshifu, and Mimikyu can outspeed and Ohko it, klefki stonewalls there attacks with its Steel typing. I dont get what this means Also Klefki’s screens help Tapu-Lele with his somewhat middeling physical bulk to stave off attacks such as an Iron Head, or a Poison Jab to more easily wallbreak on the opposing team. Mention Foul Play helps with Mega Scizor, Thunder Wave helps slow down Pokemon that Tapu Lele cant and give examples, and how Spikes helps wear down the opposing team so Tapu Lele can OHKO Pokemon more easily.

Paragraph 1:
With its decent natural bulk, a good offensive typing, and the fighting z move attached, Tapu Lele is a great setup sweeper on Fairy-type teams. Calm Mind allows Tapu Lele to setup, and become a fearsome sweeper is the focus of the set considering that its the sets sweeping move to overwhelm entire teams. Psychic is the main stab move to provide a brutally strong stab attack especially after a Calm Mind boost, and the Psychic terrain still being up, which allows it to take care of troubling Pokemon such as Mega Venusaur. Moonblast is Tapu Lele’s other stab option offering it a decently strong fairy stab to nail dark and Dragon- types add some examples, maybe like Mega Sableye and Latios. And finally Focus Blast powered up to a brutally powerful All out Pummeling can smash steel types such as Ferrothorn Bisharp and Hetran with a single boost. And the Ev’s are styled to maximize its speed give examples of what Tapu Lele can outpace ie Speed tie with Kyurem and special attack with 252 Ev’s each to maximize its offensive potential.


Paragraph 2:
Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu especially appreciate the pressure of pokemon such as Nidoking and Mega Venusaur so that it can more easily batter the team with there offenses. Honestly this does not make a lot of sense with how it is written and does not say why Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu are good to pair with Tapu Lele. You can mention about Tapu Lele taking care of Mega Venusaur and Nidoking, but I would go into detail about how Tapu Koko greatly helps with taking care of threats to Tapu Lele like Urshifu-S and Greninja, and how it can greatly help in the Flying- and the Water-type matchup thanks to its typing. Tapu Bulu is also great to pair to Tapu Lele thanks to it threatening Ground-types like Gastrodon, Landorus, and Hippowdon. Mega Diancie and Tapu Lele is a beautiful pairing due to that it negates priority and bounces back status such as Toxic and Thunder Wave. And while it might fall short of the K-O’s due to its middeling bulk, Mega Diancie isnt used to bounce back status, as it cannot switch in to most Pokemon that run these moves, it is very useful to bounce back hazards, and great for checking Flying- and Fire-types that Tapu Lele struggle with like Mega Charizard Y, Zapdos etc thanks to its Rock-typing. You can also mention how Mega Diancie can set up Stealth Rock to make it eaiser for Tapu Lele to sweep. klefki’s assortment of moves is perfect for it due to it having double screens to increase tapu lele’s bulk, thunder wave to cripple the opposition I would mention what Pokemon Klefki can slow down with Thunder Wave that helps Tapu Lele take care of them, spikes to chip away at the opponent to allow Tapu Lele to sweep later on, and foul play to punish physical attackers that normally threaten tapu lele such as Mega Scizor, and Melmetal. And while its fails at touching fighting-resistant steel type pokemon such as Aegislash, Ferrothorn, and Celesteela, Pokemon such as Tapu Koko, and Mimikyu easily pressure these pokemon I dont get what this sentence means, but mention how Mimikyu can check Spectrier, Victini, and Urshifu-S thanks to its Disguise, and how it helps greatly in the Ghost-type matchup.

It can run grass type moves to really Tapu Lele can run Energy Ball over Thunderbolt on the Choice Specs set to nail water type pokemon such as Mega-Swampert, Slowbro, and Tapu Fini, due to it being able to score 2 hit ko’s so they wouldn't be able to switch in. You need to specify the Grass-type attack, also Mega Swampert gets OHKOed by Energy Ball, so I would rewrite it to reflect that. I would also say the downsides to dropping Thunderbolt ie cant OHKO Mantine etc.
Shadow Ball can be used to really nail ghost types such as Spectrier, Blacepholon, and Aegislash, checks usually able to switch into it and threaten it out. I personally feel like Shadow Ball is not worthwhile on Tapu Lele unless its Choice Scarf as it loses to the first to due to them outpacing it while Aegislash can tank one and OHKO Tapu Lele with Shadow Ball / Shadow Claw.
I feel like Psyshock can get a mention here to better take on Blissey, but mention the drawbacks of doing so.
252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Psyshock vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Blissey in Psychic Terrain: 462-544 (64.7 - 76.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO


Checks and Counters
===================

Type
--------
**Bulky Steels Steel-types Any Steel-type checks Tapu Lele, so lets expand this a bit to Choice Scarf Excadrill, spd Jirachi etc **:Pokemon such as Ferrothorn Jirachi I feel like Ferrothorn has to be wary of Hidden Power Fire or fight z, while Jirachi can come in on either and use Thunder Wave into Iron Head to take care of it, Celesteela, and Aegislash can get a free switch into Tapu Lele if they switch into the choice specs, or in Aegislash’s case just gets a free switch in due to Hidden Power Fire not even getting the ko on defensive variants. and can take of it. I would mention Excadrill up here.

** Special Tanks Special Defensive Walls**
Pokemon such as Mantine, and Blissey completely stonewall its choice specs, and can’t exactly stay in due to there prevalence of toxic and a recovery move on there sets. 252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 160+ SpD Mantine: 360-424 (96.2 - 113.3%) -- 75% chance to OHKO Mantine cannot stay in vs Choice Specs Tapu Lele, either specify it checks fight z set or find another example, also Mantine does not run Toxic as Haze + Defog is needed for Flying-type teams esp if its running Mega Charizard Y.

**Status**
While it has the mighty partner of M-Diance to usually bounce this back status, if its gone, or its still in pre-mega, its put on a timer with toxic, and is crippled by thunder wave, due to not being able to outspeed threats such as Hetran. I really dont think Mega Diancie likes switching in to most Toxic / Thunder Wave users as Jirachi can OHKO it, Blissey does 1/3 to its health with stoss, TTar can eq and OHKO it, Cobailon OHKOs it. I would say what it cannot outpace anymore if it does get paraed ie Heatran, (insert example here) and can no longer speed tie with Kyurem.

**Faster Physical Threats**
While its speed is ok hitting at 317, This isnt needed here, as it is dex info, Faster Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Exadrill move this to Steel-types and replace with Victini, Both Urshifu’s, Greninja Greninja outpaces and sometimes run Gunk Shot which OHKOs Tapu Lele, so I think it needs a mention here and Cinderace can take care of Tapu Lele with their powerful attacks. overpower it with there powerful physical threats.

Psychic is a powerful stab move under Psychic terrain allowing it to threaten pokemon Fire- and Poison-types that resist Moonblast such as Mega Venusaur, Toxapex, and Galarian Weezing. [add 2 examples of Fire-type Pokemon that doesn't resist Psychic here.] Moonblast is its other stab being able to threaten Dark-(AH) and Dragon-types(AH) that are immune to psychic[since you mentioned Dragon-types, I don't think this example is necessary. The only Dragon-type that is immune to Psychic is Hydreigon] such as Urshifu, Greninja, and Mega Sableye. [add two Dragon-type Examples for Moonblast] Focus Blast is to nail steel types such as Ferrothorn, Hetran[grammar], and Melmetal. And you can choose between Thunderbolt allows Tapu Lele to hit water and flying types Water- and Flying-types such as Celesteela, Corviknight, Mantine, and Pelliper[examples should be listed in the order you named them and why are all your examples literally Flying types?], and however, Hidden Power Fire is an option for a more reliable hit on steel typers[I didn't know Steel-type Pokemon can type. "Hidden Power Fire is an additional option over Thunderbolt to hit Steel-types such as Scizor, Aegislash, and Jirachi considering Focus Blast can miss.] to hit pokemon such as Scizor, Aegislash, and Jirachi. 252 Special Attack EVs is to make Tapu Lele as strong as possible while 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature allows it to outpace Pokemon such as Dragonite and Heatran.

Offensive threats such as Tapu Koko and Tapu Bulu benefit from removing poison types such as Mega Venusaur, and Galarian Weezing so Tapu Koko can take care of fast pokemon such as Urhsifu and Greninja, and Tapu Bulu takes care of Hippowdon and Gastrodon, while also softening special walls such as Blissey.[Every Pokemon on the team benefits from Tapu Lele's ability to handle Poison-types. You can make this sentence to focus on that and also mention how its Psychic Terrain prevents priority from Pokemon like Mega Scizor and Scizor.] [Make the Tapu Bulu and Tapu Koko points separate. when explaining what type of Pokemon it deals with, you can say "Ground-types like Hippo and Gastrodon" and etc] Mega Diancie is an amazing partner to Lele due to being able to easily dispatch pokemon such as Mega Scizor and, Ferrothorn with Mystical Fire, and Hetran(grammar) and, Bisharp with Earth Powerer(grammar), and it loves not being worried about priority such as Scizor’s Bullet Punch and Azumarill’s Aqua Jet though it has to be wary of a Play Rough.[Make the first sentence about Diancie to talk about its main role of being a Stealth Rock setter and its ability to break through Flying-, Fire-, and Bug-types with Diamond Storm. THEN you can mention its ability to break through "Steel-types" like x, y, and z with its access to Earth Power and Mystical Fire.] It also can utilize stealth rock to punish flying types such as M Charzaird Y [Mega Charizard-Y] and Zapdos And Azumarill itself likes to get rid of Mega Venusaur and Galarian Weezing so it can more easily setup. And once the water sponge is gone, it can easily sweep Fire. Klefki is a great partner due to its Poison immunity, Steel neutrality, it being able to set up dual screens so it (spacing) helps Tapu Lele survive attacks such as Iron Head in a pinchbetter. Foul Play is there to threaten pokemon[Why these Pokemon specifically? Mention that they are setup-sweepers and you can also mention Swords Dance] such as Exadrill and Mega Scizor, Thunder Wave allows Tapu-Lele to threaten an OHKO on pokemon such as Gengar and Urshifu, and Spikes can wear down the opposing team allowing Tapu-Lele to claim KO’s more easily.

Tapu Lele is a great Choice Specs user due to its Psychic typing, its wide movepool, and Psychic surge, making it a powerful wallbreaker on Fairy teams. Psychic is a powerful stab STAB move under Psychic terrain allowing it to threaten Fire- and Poison-types that resist Moonblast such as Mega Venusaur,(add space) Galarian Weezing, (remove space)Torkoal, and Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard X doesn't resist Moonblast, add another example like Toxapex here instead. Moonblast is its other stab being able to threaten threatens Dark-and Dragon-types such as Urshifu I would remove the Urshifu example because both formes outspeed and deal good damage to Tapu Lele. ,and Mega Sableye, Latios, and Dragonite. Focus Blast is to nail steel types Steel-types such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Melmetal. Thunderbolt allows Tapu Lele to hit Flying-types such as Celesteel a, Mantine, and Water types such as Pelipper, Slowbro Slowbro seems like a more relevant example and Tapu Fini.(add space) However, Hidden Power Fire is an option for a more reliable way to hit on steel types Steel-types such as Scizor, Aegislash, and Jirachi and Mega Scizor HP Fire isn't needed for Aegislash and Scizor; It only does about 50 to max HP Aegislash while Jirachi just outspeeds and KOes you with Iron Head since Focus Blast is neutral against them and it can miss not needed w/ the new examples. 252 Special Attack EVs is to make Tapu Lele as strong as possible while 252 Speed EVs with a Timid nature allows it to outpace Pokemon such as Dragonite Modest Tapu Lele outspeeds an unboosted Dragonite anyway; find a better example here, Nidoking, and Heatran.

Tapu Bulu appreciates the removal of poison types so that it more easily checks ground types Ground-types such as Hippowdon and Gastrodon I don't see the need to mention these Pokemon, since Tapu Lele should be able to handle them with Psychic anyway. Add Ground-types that outspeed and threaten Tapu Lele like Garchomp, Choice Scarf Landorus-T, and Mega Garchomp. Mega Diancie is a great stealth rocker Stealth Rock setter, and its ability to check Fire-(AH), Flying-(AH), and Bug-(AH)types such as Zapdos, Mega Pinsir, and Volcorona Volcarona is great.
