Tapu Koko @ Electrium Z
Ability: Electric Surge
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch / U-turn
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Roost
The agile guardian of Melemele Island strikes fear into its foes with the sound of thunder! With its stellar Speed tier, the ability to gain momentum for its team, and the amplified damage through its ability, Tapu Koko is a flexible pivot and speed control option for a variety of teams. Volt Switch evades contact effects from Ferrothorn and can deal sizable amounts of damage to Pokemon like Heatran, but U-turn is less prediction-reliant against Ground-types like Gliscor and Ting-Lu. Hidden Power Ice allows Tapu Koko to severely dent Ground-types like Landorus-T and Gliscor. Electrium Z makes up for its lack of initial power, allowing Tapu Koko to KO Darkrai, Ogerpon-W, and a chipped Garganacl and Heatran. Teammates like Iron Valiant, Mega Medicham and Ursaluna appreciate Tapu Koko pivoting them in safely on its checks like Ferrothorn and Galarian Slowking, with the former gaining a Quark Drive boost from Electric Terrain. Despite good Speed, Tapu Koko can still be revenge killed by faster threats like Mega Lopunny and Choice Scarf Tapu Lele; defensive answers to them like Iron Crown and Landorus-T not only help with this but also form a VoltTurn core with Tapu Koko.
