Tapu Koko's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Tapu Koko PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

  • Electric Attacker:ElectricVolt SwitchElectricThunderbolt
  • Fairy Attacker:NormalQuick AttackFairyNature's Madness

One of the four guardian deity legendaries from Alola, Tapu Koko is a very attack-heavy Electric and Fairy-type Pokémon. As such, Tapu Koko is a solid Electric-type raid attacker (though outclassed by quite a few other legendaries) and an absolutely fantastic Fairy-type raid attacker along with some of the other Tapus, thanks to their mutual legacy move, Nature’s Madness. As an Electric-type raid attacker, Tapu Koko only has Volt Switch as its fast attack of choice. As for charged attacks it has a choice between Thunderbolt and Thunder. Thunderbolt is preferable overall, thanks to its better energy-to-damage ratio. Whereas, as a Fairy-type raid attacker, it lacks any substantial Fairy-type fast attacks. But the charged attack Nature’s Madness alone is so great in terms of damage and energy requirement, that you can pair it with a fast energy generating fast attack like Quick Attack and start blasting.

Tapu Koko PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

  • Ultra League:ElectricVolt SwitchElectricThunderboltFairyNature's Madness
  • Master League:ElectricVolt SwitchElectricThunderboltFairyNature's Madness

🔵 Great League

Tapu Koko isn't available in the CP range or stats to be usable in the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

Tapu Koko's frailty and stat gains in the Ultra League format make it a less than ideal choice for the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Tapu Koko's huge damage potential means it can catch certain top-meta Master League Pokémon completely off-guard. Volt Switch, despite its slow animation, is fantastic for both damage and energy gain. So Tapu Koko can reach its charged attacks fast and threaten the likes of Lugia and Ho-oh with Thunderbolt. Or rely on Nature's Madness to threaten Dark and Dragon-types such as Necrozma in all its forms and Yveltal. It can even beat Xerneas with Nature's Madness in certain situations.

However, other than these specific scenarios where you might choose Tapu Koko as an unexpected spice pick, it really isn't all that worth it to build up in the Master League either. Its sheer frailty means that it is effectively the worst performing of the Tapus in the Master League and loses almost every neutral matchup. The matchups it does win requires careful positioning as well.
