Tapu Lele's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Tapu Lele PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

Tapu Lele has the highest attack stat of all the Alolan guardian deities and is a Psychic and Fairy-type Pokémon. As such, it stands to reason that it is a solid raid attacker as well. However, because of its moveset, Tapu Lele is only a fairly good Psychic-type raid attacker rather than a great one. It has Confusion to do solid fast attack damage, but for charged attacks, its signature Fairy-type move Nature's Madness actually outperforms its choice of Psychic-type charged attacks just with neutral damage. Where Tapu Lele really shines is as a Fairy-type raid attacker. It is not only the best among the Tapus, but one of the best Fairy-type raid attackers in general. And that’s without even having a Fairy-type fast attack to rely upon! You can use Astonish to quickly charge up Nature's Madness for pure Fairy-damage. Or as stated before, you could use Confusion as its fast attack of choice to completely dominate Fighting-types.

Tapu Lele PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Tapu Lele cannot be found in a CP range where it would be usable in the Great League.

🟡 Ultra League

Tapu Lele’s stat spread leaves it far too frail to be of any use in the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Tapu Lele is the best of the Tapus when it comes to the Master League. To the point where it might genuinely be worth considering as more than just a spice pick in the meta. It obviously has a very high attack stat, however, it also has overall higher defenses than Tapu Koko, the second main attack-focused Tapu. It can defeat Dawn Wing Necrozma just by using its fast attack, Astonish. Which isn’t even a STAB move. And can take down other dominant threats like Palkia (Origin) and Xerneas as well with a combination of its charged attacks Nature’s Madness and Psyshock.

It does lose to quite a lot of the meta Pokémon though and it directly competes with other powerful Psychic and Fairy-type Pokémon such as Lunala, Xerneas, Zacian, Lugia, and quite a handful of others that all outperform it.
