Abilities
MetaMons competitive notes
Tapu Bulu is a grass/fairy-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 570 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 75) and a physical attacking profile. Its Grassy Surge ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Tapu Bulu. Build around what Tapu Bulu actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
