• Fairy Attacker:Bullet SeedNature’s Madness

Tapu Bulu is a Grass- and Fairy-type Pokémon and one of the guardian deities from Alola. As with Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu is a very solid Fairy-type raid attacker, which makes it strong against Fighting-, Dragon-, and Dark-type Pokémon. Unlike Tapu Koko and Tapu Lele, however, Tapu Bulu’s other type gets to shine in raids, as Tapu Bulu is a fairly solid Grass-type raid attacker as well. This is thanks to the fact that Tapu Bulu does have a solid full Grass-type attack-set in Bullet Seed and Grass Knot. Tapu Bulu actually prefers Bullet Seed as a Fairy-type raid attacker too, just paired with the legacy move Nature’s Madness.

🔵 Great League

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

🟡 Ultra League

Tapu Bulu’s stat spread and typing make it a less than ideal candidate for the Ultra League.

🟣 Master League

Tapu Bulu is at least decent in the Master League. It has high attacks and good defense, as well as the ability to generate energy fast with its fast attack Bullet Seed. Its Grass-typing allows it to defeat some prominent Water- and Ground-types such as Groudon and Palkia (Origin). It also has Nature’s Madness to deal with Zygardes.

However, none of these make Tapu Bulu good enough to get a lot of wins and it loses to a vast number of the Master League meta including Zacian (Crowned Sword) and Dialga, two of the most common Master League Pokémon. So use it as a spice pick at your own discretion.
