Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is one of the top Choice Scarf users. Thanks to its Speed it can revenge kill a lot of common threats like Great Tusk, Mega Lopunny, and Dragonite. It is also one of the best late-game cleaners when its checks like Ferrothorn, Gholdengo, and Mega Scizor are weakened. However, Tapu Lele struggles to OHKO foes that are neutral to its STAB moves, such as Landorus-T and Tornadus-T. It must also be wary of Tera Steel users such as Great Tusk and Buzzwole. Focus Blast allows Lele to pressure Steel-types that would otherwise come on it, such as Ferrothorn, Kingambit, and Heatran. Hidden Power Fire helps beat Mega Scizor and weakens Gholdengo, while Future Sight helps teammates like Mega Medicham, Zamazenta and Urshifu-R beat their checks. These are also valuable teammates as they can pressure Steel and Dark type Pokemon that Tapu Lele tends to struggle against. Finally, Psyshock helps beat weakened Blissey, Assault Vest Tornadus-T, and Chansey. Psychic is the premier Tera type for Tapu Lele as it bolsters its main STAB attacks to insurmountable levels, especially when boosted with Psychic Terrain. Normal is the other option as a Tera type for Tapu Lele to remove a boosted Dragon Dance Dragapult, despite not helping its offensive capabilities. Tapu Lele appreciates Spikes support from Ting-Lu, Ferrothorn, and Garchomp, as it helps wear down checks such as Heatran, Mega Scizor, and Ferrothorn into range of Hidden Power Fire and Focus Blast. Pursuit support from Kingambit, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar helps remove the Ghost-types that Tapu Lele can struggle against, such as Gholdengo.

ok i think we slash focus we make hp fire main set, focus first slash then the others follow. im still not 100% set on shock after fsight but ill discuss that more later.

adjust the para as necessary

stuff like
“ or in general Pokemon that you would miss the KO on with Psychic.”

“Its checks are all annoyed by entry hazards”
all mons checks take entry hazards, i would be a bit more specific like “spikes from xyz helps wear down checks such as abc into range quickly, making it much more threatening”

“Pursuit support from Kingambit, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar helps remove the Ghost types Tapu Lele can struggle against.”
like?

“Strong physical wallbreakers like Medicham Mega, Urshifu-Rapid-Strike, and Zamazenta can force progress through the opposite team to help Tapu Lele's sweep, especially when Future Sight is used.”

these are also fighting types, mention that they can also take advantage of the dark and steel types forced in by it, ie mtar gambit vile mzor ferro

Tapu Lele will often struggle ….
everything past here needs to be reworded, this is a teammates paragraph, yeah talk about what it struggles with but also talk which teammates help deal with them. u can combine them a lot w the earlier sentences too

ping when done

para one:
remove av gambit mention, mention how fs supports teammates and name some mons. add on av torn t to the shock targets. its “dragon dance dragapult” not the other way around, also maybe add “boosted” before it since its only really helpful after a dd

second para:
its mega medicham, not medicham mega

please combine these into 1 para, its a bit long now but i think it can be shortened with gp and stuff since i think a lot of it is just phrasing, if not we can discuss how to shorten it after

1/2, good work friend

Choice Scarf Tapu Lele is one of the top Choice Scarf users, thanks to its speed tier it can revenge kill a lot of common threads like Great Tusk, Mega Lopunny, and Dragonite. It is also one of the best late-game cleaners when its checks like Ferrothorn, Gholdengo, and Mega Scizor are weakened enough. However, Tapu Lele may sometimes show a lack of power, as it will struggle to OHKO Pokemons that are neutral to its STAB, such as Landorus-T or Tornadus-T. It must also be wary of Tera Steel users, such as Great Tusk or Buzzwole. Moonblast and Psychic are its main STAB, while (these are basic stab moves i dont think we need to elaborte unless they do anything special for it) Focus Blast allows Lele to pressure Steels types that would otherwise come on it, such as Ferrothorn, Kingambit, and Heatran. Hidden Power Fire helps beat Mega Scizor and weakens Gholdengo, while Future Sight helps Pokemon like Mega Medicham, Zamazenta and Urshifu-RS beat their checks. Those are also valuable teammates as they can pressure Steel and Dark type Pokemon that Tapu Lele tends to struggle against. Finally, Psyshock helps beat weakened Blissey, Assault Vest Tornadus-T, and Chansey. Psychic is the premier Terastal type for Tapu Lele as it bolsters its main STAB attacks to insurmountable levels, especially when boosted with Psychic Terrain. however, it does come at the cost of forfeiting the defensive utility of its Fairy Type, meaning you're more susceptible to Pursuit from the likes of Kingambit, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar. (if ur locked into a psychic move these mons already beat you. i do not think it is worth elaborating defensively because lele is so incredibly frail anyways and losing the fairy type doesnt mean much in the end. so just end it off here imo.) Normal is the other option as a Tera type for Tapu Lele. While it can seem weird, considering it does not help in any way Lele's offensive capabilities, it does help revenge killing a top threat thread, boosted Dragon Dance Dragapult. Tapu Lele really appreciates Spikes support from Ting-Lu, Ferrothorn, and Garchomp, as it helps wear down checks such as Heatran, Mega Scizor, and Ferrothorn into range of Focus Blast and Hidden Power Fire. Pursuit support from Kingambit, Weavile, and Mega Tyranitar helps remove the Ghost types Tapu Lele can struggle against, such as Gholdengo and Dragapult. (are you actually struggling against dragapult? gholdengo is the only reasonable mention that u care about imo but lele in itself takes care of pult, esp w tera normal slashed. just say gholdengo imo)
