[SET COMMENTS]
Boasting a great speed tier and solid coverage, Tapu Koko not only provides Electric Terrain to enable Iron Valiant, but also provides a means to deal with Flying's defensive core due to its access to Thunderbolt and Hidden Power Ice for Fairy teams. Thunderbolt is its most spammable attack which it uses to eliminate roadblocks such as Corviknight, Celesteela and Toxapex, but Discharge can be considered to spread paralysis against faster foes. Hidden Power Ice threatens Ground-types such as Landorus and Gliscor. U-turn is Tapu Koko's preferred pivot option as it invites Ground-types like Ursaluna and Great Tusk who block Volt Switch, for Iron Valiant and Tapu Bulu to handle. That said, it can also run Toxic to wear down walls like Zapdos and Hippowdon, or Taunt to shut down hazard and screen setters like Klefki, Jirachi, and Galvantula or setup sweepers like Volcarona. Roost extends Tapu Koko's longevity and thus its opportunities to pivot. Heavy-Duty Boots pair well with Tapu Koko's role as a pivot, but the Expert Belt increases its chances to OHKO Landorus with Hidden Power Ice and Toxapex with Thunderbolt. Tapu Koko's partner in crime on Fairy teams is Iron Valiant, which appreciates being pivoted in with Quark Drive activated and returns the favor by dealing with Steel-types like Heatran and Hisuian Goodra, and even some Poison-types like Alolan Muk and Mega Venusaur when using a Fightinium Z and Psychium Z, respectively. Mega Diancie provides some form of hazard control with Magic Bounce, which Tapu Koko especially appreciates if it's not running Heavy-Duty Boots, and it can handle troublesome Flying- and Fire-types such as Volcarona and Mega Charizard Y. Klefki is another great partner as it sets up screens, allowing Tapu Koko to pivot more freely, and provides a valuable immunity to Poison. Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu serve as powerful wallbreakers that can weaken the opposing team to allow Tapu Koko to clean in the late-game. Tapu Lele handles foes such as Clodsire, Mega Venusaur, Nidoking, and even Mega Scizor when running Hidden Power Fire, while Tapu Bulu powers through Ground-type who don't fear Tapu Koko's Hidden Power Ice, such as Mega Swampert, Gastrodon, and Hippowdon. Belly Drum Azumarill also helps in the Ground matchup and it can utilize its priority Aqua Jet to eliminate faster threats such as Gengar and Nihilego.

Boasting a great speed tier and solid coverage, Tapu Koko is an excellent offensive pivot for Fairy teams (ngl his only use is literally being able to power up valiant and get the first hit on key mons like Lando-I, Gren, and the rare Weevil). Thunderbolt is its most spammable attack which it uses to eliminate roadblocks such as Corviknight, Celesteela and Toxapex, but Discharge can be considered to spread paralysis against faster foes like Iron Valiant (worth noting that you setup your own demise since you power up valiant....). Hidden Power Ice threatens Ground-types such as Landorus and Gliscor. U-turn is Tapu Koko's preferred pivot option (since it invites voltblockers, allowing Bulu or Val to shine). That said, it can also run Toxic to wear down walls like Zapdos and (Hippo? Lando? Blissey doesnt really count due to Nat. Cure) Blissey, or Taunt to shut down entry hazard and screen setters like Klefki, Jirachi, and (galvantula/Araq?) opposing Tapu Koko or setup sweepers like Volcarona. Roost extends Tapu Koko's longevity and thus its opportunities to pivot, and (its more for the expected swap ins, and lets it pivot around for Val) it can also be used in tandem with Toxic to stall out the aforementioned walls (its too frail to do that). The Heavy-Duty Boots pair well with Tapu Koko's role as a pivot, but the Expert Belt increases its chances to OHKO Landorus with Hidden Power Ice and Toxapex with Thunderbolt (you dont OHKO lando at all without belt). Tapu Koko's partner in crime on Fairy teams is Iron Valiant, which appreciates being pivoted in with Quark Drive activated and returns the favor by dealing with Steel-types like Heatran, Hisuian Goodra and Iron Treads(Scarf treads smashes it because quark drive...), and even some Poison-types like Alolan Muk and Mega Venusaur Overqwil when using a Z-move. Klefki is another great partner as it sets up screens, allowing Tapu Koko to pivot more freely, and provides a valuable immunity to Poison. Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu serve as powerful wallbreakers that can weaken the opposing team to allow Tapu Koko to clean in the late-game.

CAT! :3
Implemented all apart for two things:
- What I mean by "the Expert Belt increases its chances to OHKO Landorus with Hidden Power Ice" isn't that non-Belt OHKOs Lando, but rather that even with Belt the OHKO isn't always guaranteed, hence the "increased chances". I can rephrase if you think that's unclear.
- I don't think that Mega Venusaur fears Iron Valiant or its Fighting Z-move either, but I removed the Overqwil mention.
