>the Tapus get Play Rough
Physical Koko is finally good. It won't change Bulu much though. Fairy and Grass have poor offensive synergy.
>Koko gets Zing Zap
Might be as cancerous as Skymin. Lando-T got 10x more usage.
>Bulu gets Power Whip
Its body is mostly wood. Don't see it.
>Lele gets Quiver Dance
Not happening.
>Fini gets Moonlight
Ubers or either S rank OU. Though it makes sense. If you can learn Moonblast why can't you Moonlight?

All of them except Fini go to Uber
VGC becomes 100 times more Tapu centralized than it already is

That's about it. Fuck the Tapus.

No thanks. I'll keep my 100% accurate Wood Hammers. Bulu has enough healing to mitigate the recoil.

Goddamn Bulu is shaping up to be my favourite Tapu. I just love that it gets all of Horn Leech, Wood Hammer, and Leech Seed. It doesn't even need Play Rough.

Seriously, why didn't the two physical-based Tapus get the only physical Fairy move in the game. That's just common sense shit. They gave Moonblast to Lele and Fini, so what the fuck?

won't happen and is redundant, wood hammer is more reliable and i'm more bothered about tsareena not learning it just because of the trop kick signature

won't change anything since it can already rely on wish support

game freak should really introduce a new physical fairy attack, even a base 70 one

also you guys are ignoring the fact the remaining missing megas in gen 7 will be avaible "soon"

they were probably afraid to make koko more viable compared to other tapus since it easily benefits from both offensive spectres

other explanation might be the move play rough itself, what's its japanese name?
in english it sounds like some cute and friendly attack used by other cute and friendly mons etc, dogs and cats and such pet alike

Bulu doesn't need Power Whip. It just needs Synthesis.
Apart from that, they would all go to Ubers (thank god). I wish the genies got Roost so they'd get banned too.

How about we give them a Fairy-type variant of the Kamehame--I mean Hyper Beam? Japan loves puns, and that's a biggie.

Or a HA that changes Hyper Beam to their primary type? Throw in some kind of recharge-affecting Power Herb, and it could see some niche use.

The Tapus are fine as is, but some new toys to play with would be appreciated. Being among the only viable Hyper Beam users might count.

Fine, I'll take the bait.

I'll admit the Pokemon community cares too much about Smogon, but who really cares about what other people play on? How does it affect you?

Yes, Nintendo formats are more accessible nowadays because breeding, IVs and EV have been streamlined, but official double wifi battles are laggy as shit in Gen 7. I've been into VGC for as long as it's existed, but you need the patience of a saint to play the official format nowadays. I'd much rather play on a simulator.

Bulu is proabably the most flexible of the Tapus. Band, SD, Bulk Up, Assvest, SubSeed, even Scarf if you need a reliable Chomp and Greninja check. Bulu has it all. It would kill for a 5th moveslot though. I wish I can run both Wood Hammer and Horn Leech on the SD set for instance. Or Stone Edge,Megahorn, and Superpower on the Band set as both Horn Leech and Wood Hammer should be staples.

Hyper Beam is already viable thanks to Z-Moves. A boosted Serperior can beat Charizard-Y with Z-Hyper Beam.

How is that viable? You get one use out of Breakneck Blitz, and then you're stuck with a recharge move again.

Z hyper beam Serperior is a meme. Your much better off using the subseed set. It can beat Zard Y and Heatran if you predict the switch and put up a sub.

not him but techinically you need to use it once in a battle if your pokemon doesn't have many C&Cs in the meta
might as well use wring out which has 10 less base power compared to z hyper beam

i think z charging/recharging moves are more reliable in 3v3 formats however because they are known fast metas
