PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Electric Attacker:
Volt Switch
Thunderbolt - Fairy Attacker:
Volt Switch
Nature's Madness *
Tapu Koko is a popular Electric/Fairy Legendary with a high Attack stat and average bulk. However, many Electric Pokémon surpass it in power, making it somewhat of an inferior choice ☹️.
With a heavy-damage Nature's Madness, it can be used against Dragon types despite not having a Fairy-type Fast attack 👍.
⚔️ Raids - There is a long list of both Electric and Fairy Pokémon that are outright better than Tapu Koko as Raid counters.
🛡️ Gyms - Legendaries cannot be Gym defenders in Pokémon GO.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
- Ultra League:
Volt Switch
Thunderbolt
Nature's Madness - Master League:
Volt Switch
Thunderbolt
Nature's Madness
Tapu Koko's typing and PvP moves give it some range of application in the Ultra and Master League despite its low bulk 🙃.
However, it fares rather poorly without shields to rely on. The biggest saving grace is that Nature's Madness is cheap and guarantees the opponent's Defense drop. Thunderbolt is a good second Charged attack 🙌.
🔵 Great League - Tapu Koko has too high of a stat range for the Great League.
🟡 Ultra League - Electric and Fairy are both pretty good offensive types, making Tapu Koko a surprise package in the Ultra League. While it's good at dishing out damage, it can hardly take any in return. In fact, high-damage Fast attack users, a common sight in the Ultra League, absolutely annihilate this Alolan Legendary 😳.
🟣 Master League - Once again, its appreciable offensive presence and hard-hitting moveset can trouble some top contenders of the Master League 👀. However, it is a nightmare to use against even neutral matchups as a closer, so use it early to mid battle only ‼️.
