Strategy Overview
- Tapu Lele boasts powerful damage output with Psychic Terrain.
- Shattered Psyche is a big-damage nuke that destroys neutral targets.
- Tapu Lele has diverse options in its last moveslot and in its item choice, which makes it harder to predict.
- It locks out games by denying priority moves such as Feint and Fake Out.
- It struggles against Steel-types, which is a large flaw due to prevalence of Kartana and Celesteela in the metagame.
