Strategy Overview
- Tapu Koko is lightning-fast thanks to its incredible base 130 Speed, making it the second fastest unboosted Pokemon in VGC 2017, losing only to Pheromosa.
- It has a great offensive typing with passable coverage.
- The Electric Terrain it brings from its ability, Electric Surge, gives it very powerful Electric-type attacks. It also provides team support by blocking sleep and canceling other Terrains.
- It possesses incredible versatility and can be tailor-fit to various team compositions.
- Without Electric Terrain up, its damage output suffers rather heavily, as it only has base 95 Special Attack.
- Its high Speed can be a downfall against opposing island guardians, as its Electric Terrain is often replaced if they are sent out at the same time as Tapu Koko.
- Its physical movepool is very small, somewhat wasting its awesome base 115 Attack.
- Due to its heavy focus on Electric-type attacks, the Lightning Rod ability can nullify a hefty portion of Tapu Koko's offensive presence.
