[SET COMMENTS]
Tapu Lele is a powerful wallbreaker that becomes even more threatening with a Speed donation from gods like Zamazenta-C and Pheromosa. Choice Specs greatly increases its damage output, while Choice Scarf gives Tapu Lele unparalleled Speed, helping it make use of a more average Speed donation like from Yveltal. Terrain-boosted Psychic is its strongest attack, hitting Pokemon like Nidoking and Buzzwole for super effective damage and having good neutral damage against common defensive Pokemon like Clefable and Rotom-W. Moonblast offers good coverage versus gods like Giratina and Yveltal and receivers like Weavile. Focus Blast bypasses would-be checks like Heatran and Ferrothorn that resist its STAB combination. Tapu Lele has several options for its last moveslot. Psyshock is its best move against specially defensive stalwarts like Ho-Oh and Assault Vest Tangrowth, while Thunderbolt gives it a perfectly accurate option to hit Corviknight and Skarmory. Lastly, Future Sight allows Tapu Lele to support its teammates like Dhelmise and Pheromosa even if the opponent has a reliable check to Tapu Lele like Necrozma-DM.

Tapu Lele should be paired with a god with high base Speed, such as Pheromosa, Zamazanta-C, or Mewtwo, to make the most of its powerful Special Attack. Since Steel-types resist its STAB combination and can often take advantage of its Choice-lock hyphen, teammates that punish Steel-types like Magnezone and Nidoking make great partners. Slow pivots like Corviknight and Slowbro make great teammates, as they allow Tapu Lele to enter the field safely. Its lackluster bulk makes its non-Choice Scarf sets easily forced out by revenge killers like Tapu Koko and Choice Scarf Kartana, so defensive Pokemon like specially defensive Landorus-T and Skarmory make good teammates. Wallbreakers like Victini and Nidoking appreciate Tapu Lele softening up checks and potentially providing Future Sight support. Entry hazard support from Pokemon like Skarmory and Landorus-T can help chip down its checks. Finally, Tapu Lele enjoys entry hazard removal from teammates like Corviknight and Landorus-T to help it switch in more easily and more often.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Tapu Lele can use Thunder for a less reliable but more potent option to hit Pokemon like Skarmory and Corviknight. Twisted Spoon is an alternative that offers similar power but has the advantage of being able to switch attacks. Choice Scarf sets are able to receive almost any stat and still perform their function. Life Orb lets Tapu Lele change moves while still having a high damage output, although it loses much of its longevity. Terrain Extender is an option on some hyper offense teams that are weaker to common priority users such as Extreme Speed Rayquaza.

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

**Necrozma-DM**: Necrozma-DM resists both of Tapu Lele's STAB attacks and takes neutral damage from its coverage moves, making it able to force Tapu Lele out easily.

**Faster Revenge Killers**: Many faster Pokemon can force out non-Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Examples include Tapu Koko, Pheromosa, Choice Scarf Kartana, and Zamazenta-C Speed receivers like Pangoro.

**Specially Defensive Pivots**: Specially defensive Pokemon like Slowking, Slowbro, and Assault Vest Tangrowth can scout Tapu Lele's Choice-lock and switch to an appropriate check without sacrificing too much of their own HP.

Tapu Lele is a powerful wallbreaker that becomes even more threatening with a Speed donation from gods like Zamazenta-C and Pheromosa. Choice Specs greatly increases its damage output, while Choice Scarf gives Tapu Lele unparalleled speed, or can help it make use of a more average Speed donation like from Yveltal. Terrain-boosted Psychic is its strongest attack, hitting Pokemon like Nidoking and Buzzwole for super effective damage and good neutral damage against common defensive Pokemon like Clefable and Rotom-W. Moonblast offers good coverage versus gods like Giratina and Yveltal and recievers receivers like Weavile. Focus Blast allows Tapu Lele to hit super effectively versus Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn, that resist its STAB attacks bypasses would-be checks like Heatran and Ferrothorn that resist its STAB combination. Psyshock can allow Tapu Lele to hit hard versus specially defensive Pokemon like Assault Vest Tangrowth and Gastrodon, Thunderbolt gives the option to deal super effective damage to Pokemon like Skarmory and Corviknight, while Future Sight gives support to its teammates when breaking Tapu Lele has several options for its last moveslot. Psyshock is its best move against specially defensive stalwarts like Ho-Oh and Assault Vest Tangrowth, while Thunderbolt gives it a perfectly accurate option to hit Corviknight and Skarmory. Lastly, Future Sight allows Tapu Lele to still provide support to its wallbreaking teammates even if the opponent has a reliable check to it like Necrozma-DM.

Tapu Lele needs a god with a high base Speed stat, such as Pheromosa, Zamazanta-C, or Mewtwo, to carry out its function make the most of its powerful Special Attack. Its typing and it commonly being choice locked makes it relatively simple to take advantage of it with Steel-types that resist its STAB attacks. Teammates that can beat common Steel-types like Magnezone and Nidoking make good offensive partners for Tapu Lele. Since Steel-types resist its STAB combination and can often take advantage of its Choice lock, teammates that punish Steel-types like Magnezone and Nidoking make great partners. Slow pivots like Corviknight and Slowbro make great teammates for it, allowing it to enter the field safely. Its lackluster bulk makes it easily forced out on non-Choice Scarf sets by revenge killers like Tapu Koko and Choice Scarf Kartana, so defensive Pokemon like Tangrowth and Skarmory make good teammates.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Tapu Lele can use Thunder for a less reliable, but more potent option to hit Pokemon like Skarmory and Corviknight. add twisted spoon as an option. also, mention that Scarf can take a dump stat and still work well.

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

**Necrozma-DM**: Necrozma-DM resists both of Tapu Lele's STAB attacks and take neutral damage from its coverage moves, making it able to force it out easily.

**Faster Revenge Killers**: On non-Choice Scarf sets, depending on its god, Tapu Lele can be forced out by faster threats like Choice Scarf Kartana, Tapu Koko and Pheromosa Speed receivers like Pangoro.

Add SpD regens like Slowtwins and Tang, as they can scout its choice lock and switch appropriately

GP 1/1!

Notes for Berry

berry gm
Don't worry about the "Speed, Special Attack" thing, that's a GG specific notation.
You added "hazards" once instead of "entry hazards."
Teamstyles like "hyper offense" are never capitalized.
"Choice" in the context of "Choice items" and "Choice-lock" is always capitalized.
You missed capitalizing "Speed" once when referring to a Speed stat.

Twisted Spoon is an alternative that offers similar power but has the advantage of being able to switch attacks. Choice Scarf sets are able to receive almost any stat and still perform their function. Life Orb lets Tapu Lele change moves while still having a high damage output, although it loses much of its longevity. Terrain Extender is an option on some hyper offense teams that are weaker to common priority users such as Extreme Speed Rayquaza.

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

**Necrozma-DM**: Necrozma-DM resists both of Tapu Lele's STAB attacks and takes neutral damage from its coverage moves, making it able to force Tapu Lele out easily.

**Faster Revenge Killers**: Many faster Pokemon can force out non-Choice Scarf Tapu Lele. Examples include Tapu Koko, Pheromosa, Choice Scarf Kartana, and Zamazenta-C Speed receivers like Pangoro.

**Specially Defensive Pivots**: Specially defensive Pokemon like Slowking, Slowbro, (ac) GP note and Assault Vest Tangrowth can scout Tapu Lele's choice lock Choice-lock and switch to an appropriate check without sacrificing too much of their own HP.

Notes for Berry

berry gm
Don't worry about the "Speed, Special Attack" thing, that's a GG specific notation.
You added "hazards" once instead of "entry hazards."
Teamstyles like "hyper offense" are never capitalized.
"Choice" in the context of "Choice items" and "Choice-lock" is always capitalized.
You missed capitalizing "Speed" once when referring to a Speed stat.

GP Team done
