[SET COMMENTS]
Tapu Lele is a strong setup sweeper. Triage gives Draining Kiss +3 priority, providing Tapu Lele with a powerful priority move that also consistently recovers health and helps offset Life Orb recoil. Draining Kiss also revenge kills strong sweepers such as Kommo-o and Terrakion. Psyshock deals heavy damage to specially defensive Pokemon like Blissey and RegenVest Swampert. Calm Mind helps Tapu Lele set up and break through sturdy special walls such as Heatran; since Tapu Lele relies heavily on Draining Kiss, it often needs a boost to do enough damage to sweep. Focus Blast heavily damages Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn that resist Tapu Lele's other moves. Thunderbolt is another option to hit Pokemon like Corviknight and Tapu Fini for super effective damage while being perfectly accurate; however, they are still hit hard by Tapu Lele's other coverage moves. 112 Speed EVs outspeed Modest Heatran.

Powerful wallbreakers such as Terrakion, Cinderace, and Dhelmise enjoy Tapu Lele's ability to clean once they have weakened the defensive core. Tapu Lele often struggles to break through specially defensive pivots like RegenVest Jirachi and Regenerator Genesect, so Terrakion, Heatran, and Cinderace make good teammates to deal with them. Tapu Lele appreciates reliable entry hazard setters such as Mold Breaker Heatran to wear down its switch-ins. Tapu Lele has a hard time against faster Pokemon that resist Draining Kiss such as Talonflame, Cinderace, and Genesect, as well as other priority users that can take a hit and OHKO back like Triage Tapu Bulu and Grassy Surge Dhelmise. Bulky defensive teammates such as Tapu Fini, Kommo-o, (comma) and Dauntless Shield Mew can reliably switch into these threats. Due to its relative frailty, Tapu Lele enjoys having slow pivots such as Corviknight and Blissey to bring it safely onto the field. Tapu Lele also struggles against Psychic Surge users, the most common being Azelf, and enjoys having teammates that can override Psychic Terrain such as Grassy Surge Zarude.

[SET COMMENTS]
Sheer Force Tapu Lele is a powerful special wallbreaker that breaks through many of the common specially defensive switch-ins, including Blissey, RegenVest Swampert, and RegenVest Silvally-Dragon. Sheer Force and Life Orb boost its already high power without taking recoil. Tapu Lele does not have many reliable switch-ins and can often attack without predicting, as the switch-in will still be KOed by the appropriate coverage move on the next turn. Moonblast is its only STAB move and deals significant damage to neutral targets like Mew and Zapdos. Focus Blast hits Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn for super effective damage and 2HKOes Blissey. Thunderbolt provides coverage against Corviknight, Tapu Fini, and Toxapex, while Energy Ball OHKOes Assault Vest Swampert. A Modest nature is necessary to secure key KOs like Heatran and Tapu Fini after Stealth Rock.

Tapu Lele enjoys having strong physical attackers such as Terrakion to help it break through dedicated special switch-ins like Assault Vest Jirachi. In return, Terrakion enjoys Tapu Lele bringing in specially defensive Pokemon that it can threaten such as Blissey. Tapu Lele has no way of recovering HP and is prone to chip damage from entry hazards, so it appreciates reliable Defoggers such as Corviknight. Due to its mediocre Speed, Pokemon that can outspeed Tapu Lele and threaten an immediate KO such as Barraskewda and Terrakion and are potent revenge killers. Because of this weakness, Tapu Lele enjoys having sturdy defensive Pokemon on its team such as Kommo-o, Tapu Fini, and Blissey, as well as teammates with high Speed or strong priority moves such as Barraskewda, Scarf Tapu Fini, and Grassy Surge Zarude.

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

Tapu Lele can utilize Tinted Lens to threaten its common switch-ins, such as Heatran, with its powerful STAB moves, but it loses significant power versus neutral targets. Sheer Force Tapu Lele can also run Psyshock to beat Pokemon like Blissey that would otherwise be difficult for it to deal with, or opt for Psychic to to beat some of its more reliable checks such as Volt Absorb Toxapex and defensive Volcarona.

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

**Faster Fire- and Steel-types**: Cinderace and Genesect outspeed Tapu Lele, cannot be OHKOed by +1 Draining Kiss, and reliably OHKO back.

**Regenerator Steel-types**: RegenVest Jirachi and Choice Scarf Regenerator Genesect are capable of switching into Tapu Lele's attacks and threatening it out with super effective STAB attacks or pivoting into a revenge killer.

**Blissey and Chansey**: Blissey and Chansey are capable of surviving any single hit from Tapu Lele and are able to cripple it with status or pivot into a revenge killer.

**Priority Immunity**: Psychic Surge Azelf frustrate Triage Tapu Lele by shutting down its priority.

**Bulletproof Heatran**: Bulletproof Heatran is not 2HKOed by any of Tapu Lele's moves and can OHKO back with a Steel-type move.

Triage just call it Tapu Lele Tapu Lele finds itself a niche as is a strong cleaner and setup sweeper and wincon in the AAA metagame. Triage allows it to move before almost the entirety of the metagame with Life Orb boosting its power even further. Draining Kiss benefits from Triage Triage gives Draining Kiss +3 priority and allows Tapu Lele to have a powerful priority move and consistently recover health vs common switch-ins. Psyshock enables Tapu Lele to deal heavy damage to Specially Defensive Pokemon like Blissey and , one of the most common specially defensive Pokemon in the tier, as well as hitting for strong damage on even neutral targets such as Assault Vest Swampert. Calm Mind allows Tapu Lele to set up to break through sturdy special walls such as Blissey, while also increasing its ability to take hits from the special side. Since Tapu Lele relies heavily on Draining Kiss, it often needs to gather a boost or two to sweep. Focus Blast is very useful to hit Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn, while Thunderbolt can hit Pokemon like Corviknight and Tapu Fini for super effective damage. I would probably re-write this to emphasize Focus Blast, as it really is the better option; it hits Corv still, and Fini takes a ton from Psyshock Triage Tapu Lele's EV can be edited slightly, while keeping maximum Special Attack EVs to ensure maximum damage output, some speed EVs can be moved to HP or Defense, Tapu Lele runs maximum Special Attack EVs and a Modest nature to maximize its damage output; it typically runs maximum Speed as well, but can afford to drop some EVs into bulk while keeping Tapu Lele's Speed above the Speed of Heatran with max Speed EVs and a Modest Nature.

Triage Tapu Lele often struggles to break through Pokemon like RegenVest Jirachi and Regenerator Genesect. Due to these struggles, it appreciates Pokemon like Terrakion, Heatran, and Cinderace to be able to deal with them. Triage Tapu Lele appreciates reliable hazard setters such as Mold Breaker Heatran to aid its ability to finish off weakened foes. In turn, powerful breakers such as Terrakion, Cinderace and Dhelmise enjoy Triage Tapu Lele's ability to finish off weakened teams. I would lead with the breakers, since Lele is mostly a cleaner. Tapu Lele is vulnerable to Pokemon that resist its priority such as Talonflame, Cinderace and Genesect and it appreciates bulky defensive teammates such as Tapu Fini, Kommo-O and Dauntless Shield Mew that can reliably switch into these threats. Triage Tapu Lele dislikes offensive threats that are capable of surviving one attack and KOing back, such as Triage Tapu Bulu and Grassy Surge Dhelmise. Also give a shoutout to Psychic Surge Azelf, that's annoying.

Sheer Force Tapu Lele is an incredibly powerful special wallbreaker in the AAA metagame, capable of breaking through many of the common special switchins. Sheer Force and Life Orb are used in conjunction to boost it already high power without taking any recoil in the process. Sheer Force Tapu Lele does not have many reliable switch-ins and can often attack according to what is in front of it on the current turn. It uses Moonblast is as its only STAB attack, capable of dealing very high damage to neutral and super effective targets. Tapu Lele also utilizes Energy Ball is mostly used to deal with to deal high damage to Pokemon like Assault Vest Swampert. Thunderbolt is useful to KO or heavily damage Pokemon like Corviknight, Tapu Fini, and even Toxapex. Focus Blast is used to hit Steel-types like Heatran and Ferrothorn for super effective damage and can also 2HKO Blissey. Talk about moves in this order: Moonblast, Focus Blast, Thunderbolt, Energy Ball. Also, don't forget to mention the EVs/Nature

Talk about its role on the team to start; it is a breaker that puts holes in the other team Tapu Lele enjoys having strong physical attackers such as Terrakion to help it break through common special switch-ins like Assault Vest Jirachi Blissey and Heatran. In turn, they enjoy Tapu Lele bringing in specially defensive Pokemon that these Pokemon can take advantage of. Tapu Lele does not like having it's Life Orb knocked off, so it appreacites pokemon like Dauntless Shield Mew holding a Colbur Berry, as well as the more niche Zamazenta-C to serve as Knock Off switchins. In addition, it has no way of recovering HP and is prone to chip damage from hazards and appreaciates appreciates reliable Defoggers such as Corviknight. Triage Tapu Lele dislikes Psychic Surge users, the most common being Azelf, and enjoys having teammates that can override Terrain. This is a great sentence for the other set Due to its use of the Modest nature it is easier to outspeed, and it is thus threatened by medicore Speed, Pokemon that can outspeed it and threaten an immediate KO such as Barraskewda, Terrakion, and Tapu Koko, all of which are are all potent revenge killers as well as threatening when being pivoted in. Because of this weakness, Tapu Lele enjoys having sturdy defensive Pokemon on its team, such as Kommo-O, Tapu Fini, or Blissey as well as speed control or powerful priority users such as Barraskewda, Scarf Tapu Fini or Grassy Surge Zarude.

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

**Faster Pokemon**: Pokemon faster than Tapu Lele that can threaten an OHKO such as Barraskewda, Terrakion and Genesect are strong checks to Tapu Lele. hm this is hard, cause Barra and Terrakion don't check Triage, but do check Sheer Force...

**Regenerator Steel-types**: Steel-types using Regenerator such as RegenVest Jirachi and Choice Scarf Regenerator Genesect are capable of switching into Tapu Lele's attacks and threatening it out with super effective STAB or pivoting into a revenge killer.

Tapu Lele runs maximum Special Attack and Speed EVs to allow it to deal as much damage as possible I would mention how Tapu Lele can overwhelm most of the special walls (drag-vally, swampert, Blissey with luck or chip) so it's a particularly strong special breaker

Tapu Lele is a powerful breaker that is capable of putting out large amounts of damage in a short time, however it cannot break through everything. Tapu Lele enjoys having strong physical attackers such as Terrakion to help it break through common im not sure if you mean that Jirachi is common in the metagame, or common as a Lele check, but I would still call it "dedicated" and not "common" SI special switch-ins like Assault Vest Jirachi. In turn, they enjoy Tapu Lele bringing in specially defensive Pokemon that these Pokemon can take advantage of. In addition, it has no way of recovering HP and is prone to chip damage from hazards and appreciates reliable Defoggers such as Corviknight. Due to its medicore Speed, Pokemon that can outspeed it and threaten an immediate KO such as Barraskewda, Terrakion, and Tapu Koko it doesn't threaten a KO - you can mention things like Zarude or just keep those 2 examples are all potent revenge killers as well as threatening when being pivoted in. Because of this weakness, Tapu Lele enjoys having sturdy defensive Pokemon on its team, such as Kommo-o, Tapu Fini, or Blissey as well as speed control or powerful priority users such as Barraskewda, Scarf Tapu Fini or Grassy Surge Zarude.

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

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

**Faster Pokemon Fairy-resists**: Pokemon faster than Tapu Lele that can threaten an OHKO as well as resisting Draining Kiss such as Cinderace and Genesect are strong checks to Tapu Lele. Cinderace and Genesect outspeed Tapu Lele, cannot be OHKOed by +1 Draining Kiss, and reliably OHKO back.

**Regenerator Steel-types**: Steel-types using Regenerator such as RegenVest Jirachi and Choice Scarf Regenerator Genesect are capable of switching into Tapu Lele's attacks and threatening it out with super effective STAB or pivoting into a revenge killer.

**Blissey / and Chansey**: Blissey and Chansey are capable of surviving any single hit, and often more, from Tapu Lele and are able to cripple it with status or pivot into a strong revenge killer.

**Priority Immunity**: Pokemon such as Azelf that commonly use Psychic Surge and Pokemon that utilize Queenly Majesty or Dazzling can be a pain for Triage Tapu Lele as they shut down its priority. Psychic Surge Azelf frustrate Triage Tapu Lele by shutting down its priority. either give an example or two of Dazzling mons that beat Lele, or remove the reference

**Bulletproof Heatran**: Heatran is able to run Bulletproof to become a very solid check to Tapu Lele, giving it an immunity to Focus Blast. Bulletproof Heatran is not 2HKOed by any of Tapu Lele's moves and can OHKO back with a Steel-type move.
