Tapu Lele is a psychic/fairy-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Special Attack — at 570 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with above-average speed (base 95) and a special attacking profile. Its Psychic 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 Lele. Build around what Tapu Lele 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.
