Tapu Lele @ Choice Scarf

Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Moonblast
- Focus Blast
- Hidden Power [Fire] / Thunderbolt


[SET COMMENTS]
Tapu Lele's Psychic Surge ability and complementary STAB types along with excellent coverage moves allow it to shine as a cleaner on Fairy teams. Psychic is its preferred Psychic-type STAB move, which it uses to take out Poison-types such as Toxapex, Nidoking, and Mega Venusaur, though it can also run Psyshock to hit Clodsire harder. Moonblast deals with Dark- and Dragon-types like Mega Sableye, Galarian Moltres, Kommo-o, and Latias. Focus Blast checks threats such as Heatran and Iron Treads. Hidden Power Fire OHKOes most Mega Scizor sets, while Thunderbolt threatens a wider selection of Water- and Flying-types like Celesteela, Mantine, and Mega Charizard Y. Shadow Ball could also be used to provide coverage against Aegislash and Gholdengo. Thanks to Psychic Surge, Tapu Lele shuts down priority moves from revenge killers and setup sweepers such as Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch, Azumarill's Aqua Jet, and Dragonite's Extreme Speed, allowing it to KO them with Hidden Power Fire, Thunderbolt, and Moonblast, respectively. Choice Scarf allows Tapu Lele to outspeed threats such as Zeraora, Choice Scarf Excadrill, Tapu Koko, and Mega Lopunny. Tapu Lele pairs well with wallbreakers like Tapu Bulu and Azumarill that can weaken or eliminate its checks, with the former taking care of Meowscarada, Rotom-W, and Gastrodon, while the latter handles Volcarona, Choice Scarf Blacephalon, and Landorus. Tapu Koko helps in the Water- and Flying-type matchups by dealing with Landorus and Corviknight and offers a great Speed tier and coverage. Iron Valiant answers Steel-types like Hisuian Goodra and uses All-Out Pummeling to eliminate Dark-types like Alolan Muk, one of the best counters to Tapu Lele, and Ting-Lu, which could tank a few hits from Tapu Lele and threaten it with Poison Jab or Heavy Slam. The duo of Tapu Koko and Iron Valiant further assists Tapu Lele's late-game cleaning, as Tapu Koko activates Iron Valiant's Quark Drive, allowing it to outspeed common Choice Scarf users that are faster than Tapu Lele like Terrakion, Blacephalon, and Nihilego. Klefki's utility moves, such as Spikes, Thunder Wave, and dual screens, make it an excellent supporting partner. Thanks to Foul Play, Klefki is also able to answer bulky Swords Dance Mega Scizor, which could otherwise tank a Hidden Power Fire from Tapu Lele and KO it. Mega Diancie contributes to keeping Tapu Lele healthy by threatening hazard setters with Magic Bounce as well as Fire-types like Mega Charizard Y and Volcarona, which can be troublesome to deal with for Tapu Lele. Mimikyu is a great partner in the Ghost matchup, being able to threaten fast foes such as Blacephalon. Ribombee's Sticky Web allows Tapu Lele to outrun faster Choice Scarf users such as Sneasler, Iron Valiant, and Gengar.

Tapu Lele's Psychic Surge ability and access to complementary STABs along with excellent coverage moves allow it to shine as a late-game cleaner on Fairy teams i mean it threatens alot of shit early game too tho. Psychic is its preferred Psychic-type STAB, which it uses to take out Poison-types such as Toxapex, Nidoking, and Mega-Venusaur, though it can run Psyshock to hit Clodsire harder. Moonblast deals with Dark- and Dragon-types like Mega Sableye, Moltres Galar, Kommo-o and Latias. Focus Blast answers threats such as Heatran and Iron Treads check is a better word tbh since spd tran still lives and yk..misses. Hidden Power Fire OHKOes most Mega Scizor sets and is useful against walls like Ferrothorn and Forretress, while Thunderbolt threatens a wider selection of Water- and Flying-types like Celesteela, Mantine, and Mega Charizard Y. Thanks to Psychic Surge and its incredible coverage, Tapu Lele shuts down priority moves from revenge killers and setup sweepers such as Mega Scizor's Bullet Punch, Azumarill's Aqua Jet and Dragonite's ExtremeSpeed, allowing it to KO them with Hidden Power Fire, Thunderbolt and Moonblast, respectively. The Choice Scarf and maximum Speed investment also allows it to outspeed threats such as Zeraora, Choice Scarf Excadrill, Tapu Koko, and Sneasler before Unburden dont need to mention max max spreads. Tapu Lele pairs well with wallbreakers like Tapu Bulu and Azumarill who can weaken or eliminate its checks, with the former taking care of Meowscarada, Rotom-W, and Gastrodon while the latter handles Volcarona, Choice Scarf Blacephalon and Landorus. Tapu Koko helps in the Water- and Flying-type matchups and offers a Steel neutrality which allows it to answer foes like Gholdengo and Aegislash. Iron Valiant answers Steel-types like Goodra Hisui and uses All-Out Pummeling to eliminate Dark-types like Muk Alola and Ting-Lu who could tank a few hits from Tapu Lele and threaten it with Poison Jab and Heavy Slam i think the alomuk bit should be emphasised more since its one of the few very hard counters to lele. The duo of Tapu Koko and Iron Valiant further assists Tapu Lele's late-game cleaning as Tapu Koko activates Iron Valiant's Quark Drive, allowing it to outspeed common Choice Scarf users that are faster than Tapu Lele like Gengar and Nihilego neither of those are really common anymore... but add Moth and/or Treads if ever. Klefki's utility moves, such as Spikes, Thunder Wave, and dual screens, make it an excellent supporting partner mention Klefki can also beat bulky sd sciz sets with Foul Play which can otherwise eat a lele hp fire and potentially knock/kill. Mega Diancie contributes to keeping Tapu Lele healthy by threatening hazard setters with Magic Bounce mention its role in the fire matchup against the likes of zardy and volc which beat lele otheriwse.

- mention shadow ball (in text) as an option to catch aegis and dengo
- mention mimikyu and its role in the ghost mu
- *could* mention ribombee and its webs allowing it to outrun faster scarfers like sneaseler, iron valiant and gengar

Tapu Koko helps in the Water- and Flying-type matchups and offers a Steel neutrality which allows it to answer foes like Gholdengo and Aegislash (Aegis does not use a Steel move, and you shouldnt use Koko to answer these. It however is able to OHKO Landorus and stress out Corv which is important if you're tboltless).

notes

Tapu Lele pairs well with wallbreakers like Tapu Bulu and Azumarill who that can weaken or eliminate its checks, with the former taking care of Meowscarada, Rotom-W, and Gastrodon while the latter handles Volcarona, Choice Scarf Blacephalon,(AC) and Landorus.

While means whereas here; it's contrasting two different ideas "the first example can do x, whereas the second example can do y." If you can mentally replace teh word while with whereas and the sentence still makes sense, then you need a comma before while.

Ting-Lu who which could tank a few hits from Tapu Lele and threaten it with Poison Jab

Which clauses should always have commas before them. If you ee the word which (excluding some exceptions like "in which"), then it needs to have a comma before it. Which clauses are essentially like asides, so they need to be bracketed off from the rest of the sentence with 2 commas when in the middle of a sentence or 1 comma when at the end

thank you
