I think all Tapus will be mosters in competitive desu. Bulu has free leftovers, horn leech boosted by grassy terrain, and probably gets leech seed too. It also halves Earthquake damage for the rest of your team. Fini is straight up immune to status, and supports the rest of the team against dragons. Lele shuts down priority and probably hits hard thanks to psychic terrain.

It's really gonna come down to his speed.

Electric Terrain is already giving him a free specs on electric moves, so special attack can be sacrificed a bit, but he'll need over 110 speed to be a truly amazing pick in OU.

other than that, the Tapu's have a lot going for them in terms of viability, with Tapu Koko being the most promising with the best typing out of all of them.

I do think Koko will remain popular since Sleep immunity isn't as big of a deal as the other effects.

Back in Gen 4 the Gyarados/Electivire Combo was ridiculously overused since team preview didn't exist, baiting out electric attacks to give electivire the speed it need to sweep.

but electivire on its own was a pretty shitty mon, and couldn't work without the gimmick. I don't think Tapu Koko will be the same though, as Tapu pretty brings brings all the tools he needs on his own and support others, rather than be supported.

I doubt that honestly, especially for Lele and Fini, since you can just build your team to not use priority or status.

They're 580 BST Fairies. There's no way they won't be strong.

You are now aware that the regis, articuno and mesprit exist. Leave it to GF to give a pokemon 580 BST yet still be underwhelming.
Sure, typing, movepool and ability play a big role here, but their stat spreads don't really help either.

This isn't good anon, especially not for Fini in singles since an opponent can switch in on her and get a free turn to set up without having to worry about getting burnt or paralyzed.

Scizor users will be rubbing their hands with glee whenever they see Tapu Fini on the opponents team, its a 100% risk free swords dance for them.

The only Tapus I can see getting use in OU are Koko and Lele since sleep immunity isn't a big deal and Lele's immunity to priority(thus a way for her to avoid getting bullet punched to death before she can do shit) and the bios description of her as being a status user will give her a good niche.

Fini's terrain is too easily abusable by the opposition for my liking(free set up boys!) and Bulus terrain heals the opposition ffs, and potentially fucks him due to the neutering of earthquake, a move he needs to cover his poison, steel and fire weaknesses. Hopefully his SpA is decent though and he gets Earth Power, unless Grassy terrain actually affects all ground type moves lol

In both of the trailers Bulu was using physical attacks, that's probably not the case.

Weather abilities were permanent and only affected certain Pokemon, unless you both ran the same archetype, you weren't helping your opponent.
Terrains aren't permanent, and are guaranteed to help your opponent and, in the worst case scenario, completely backfire.

It doesn't matter if you help the opponent if they don't have the means to use the effects. Even if they can use the effects that should be considered during the team building on how to deal with it. Sticking a ground type or something with lightning rod on your team to deal with electric terrains boost for example.
