Strategy Overview

Tapu Koko is one of the most prominent new threat of generation seven. Boasting a blistering Speed stat and an ability that makes it deceptively powerful, Tapu Koko is a potent offensive threat that every team needs to prepare for. However, Tapu Koko relies on Electric Terrain to hit hard, and its rather frail, making it hard to switch-in.

Below are some sample sets. These sets are likely to be standard, but they will be expanded upon and updated as the metagame progresses.
