Pokemon GO<\/strong> raid battles are one of the best ways to enjoy the game. The various raids in Pokemon GO encourage players to catch a variety of different Pokemon<\/a> and on top of that, train them to be strong enough to take on raids. With the various events coming in and out of Pokemon GO, it is important to know how to prepare for the upcoming raids.<\/p>\n

Tapu Lele<\/strong> will soon be one of the 5-Star raids you tackle in Pokemon GO. It is part of the upcoming Valentine’s Day event coming soon to the game. On top of that, players have the chance to catch a shiny version of Tapu Lele for the first time if they beat the raid. So if you are interested in catching Tapu Lele, our guide can help you understand what you need to do to battle<\/a> this Pokemon during its raid. <\/p>\n

Best Tapu Lele Counters In Pokemon GO<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Knowing about Tapu Lele’s typing will help take it down during its 5-Star raids. (Picture: Niantic)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To understand how to counter Tapu Lele, you will need to know more about it. Tapu Lele is both a Psychic-type and a Fairy-type Pokemon<\/strong>. These are very powerful typings in terms of attacking but can have exploited defenses. With that in mind, there are a few Pokemon that you can bring to take on Tapu Lele during the upcoming Valentine’s Day event<\/a> in Pokemon GO.<\/p>\n

The number recommended Pokemon to bring against Tapu Lele would be Metagross<\/strong>. With its Steel typing, Metagross will take any hit Tapu Lele could throw at it and hit it for super effective damage. Origin Giratina and Nihilego<\/strong> are both good choices to bring against Tapu Lele because they can both hit it for super-effective damage, but they will both also take super-effective damage. That is why Metagross is the safest bet to taking down Tapu Lele.<\/p>\n

Best Tapu Lele Moveset<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you have successfully beaten and caught a Tapu Lele, you will need to know what the best moveset is for this Pokemon. In Pokemon GO, the best moveset will usually come down to which set gives the Pokemon the best DPS<\/strong>. With that being said, there are a few options for Tapu Lele.<\/p>\n

The quick move Confusion and the charged move Future Sight <\/strong>will give Tapu Lele the best DPS without a doubt. However, there is a second moveset you can consider. You can use the quick move Confusion and the charged move Moonblast <\/strong>instead to give you more damage coverage. Tapu Lele’s DPS will go down a bit with the second moveset, but not so much so that you cannot consider it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
