This protects it from status effects, such as Burn, which will otherwise put a stop to Tapu Bulu's sweep. We're giving Tapu Bulu Lum Berry for this build. This causes Grassy Terrain to appear as soon as Tapu Buly switches in. Grassy Surge is the preferred ability for this build. Although Tapu Bulu outspeeds most threats with Grassy Glide, some speed EVs are still useful - especially if it needs to use Play Rough or Stone Edge. The remaining 96 EVs are placed in Speed. 236 HP EVs and 32 Sp.Def EVs give it great overall bulk, while 144 ATK EVs puts its Attack stat at 184 at Level 50. We're using a modified EV spread for this build that rounds off Tapu Bulu's bulk, while still providing him a boost in attack. Stone Edge is its last move, and provides some much-needed coverage against Fire and Flying-type Pokemon. It also gets a 30% boost in power as long as there's Grassy Terrain active.Įarthquake is a good coverage move, allowing Tapu Bulu to hit Poison and Steel-type Pokemon for super effective damage. Horn Leech is its main STAB move and also recovers HP. Swords Dance boosts Tapu Bulu's naturally high attack stat to dangerous levels, dealing significant damage to opposing Pokemon that don't resist its STAB. Tapu Bulu's great natural bulk and access to Swords Dance make it a powerful, bulky sweeper that can surprise its usual checks and counters with priority boosted Grassy Glide.
