        Tapu Koko in the meta

        Tapu Koko in the meta

        PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

        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.

        PvE AnalysisPvP Analysis

        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 ‼️.

        Mega Pokémon that boost Tapu Koko

        Photobomb

        A list of Mega Pokémon that boost Tapu Koko's Electric and Fairy-type moves, Candy, and Candy XL from catching Tapu Koko.

        Electric Electric

        Fairy Fairy

        Pokédex informationMore information

        Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

        Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

        Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
        • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
        • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.

                  Catch probability with multiple throws

                  In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Tapu Koko, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

                  To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

                  Catch rate formula

                  Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

                  • CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
                  • CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

                  There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

                  Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.

                  Catch rate multipliers
