Tapu Koko @ Choice Specs
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Ice
- Dazzling Gleam
- Volt Switch
Tapu Koko's surge through National Dex comes amidst the fall of Blissey and Ferrothorn, with teams often employing only Landorus-T, Gliscor, or Garchomp as the Electric-type check. Hidden Power Ice removes them, allowing Tapu Koko to spam its Electric-type attacks, which when combined with its high Speed and Electric Terrain, makes it a terrifying offensive pivot. Volt Switch maintains momentum, whereas Dazzling Gleam hits Electric-resistant foes such as Hydreigon, Mega Latias, and Rillaboom. Teammates like Mega Mawile, Mega Lopunny, Mega Medicham, and Hawlucha pressure opposing Grass- and Ground-type Pokemon for Tapu Koko. Entry hazard support also helps Tapu Koko break through Ferrothorn, Amoonguss, and Gastrodon long-term. In particular, Ash-Greninja's Spikes support is invaluable to wear them down. Other entry hazard setters like Landorus-T and Garchomp appreciate Tapu Koko’s ability to threaten Tapu Fini and Corviknight, keeping their entry hazards up. Tapu Koko struggles with revenge killers like Choice Scarf Landorus-T and Mega Lopunny, so bring a partner like Tangrowth or Corviknight to check these Pokemon.
