Best Tapu Bulu Raid Counters
Are you having a hard time defeating Tapu Bulu in "Pokemon Go?" This masterful guide will help you out with your problem.
Investing in a heavy counter against a Tapu legendary might cost you a lot, especially if what's in your mind is to use Shadow Pokemon. Of course, this does not have to be the only way to defeat this guardian deity since it is considered to be "extremely pricey" to level up.
On top of that, there are smart alternatives that you can use to dominate this Pokemon during Raids easily. Take a look at the best counters you might want to try against Tapu Bulu.
- Mega Beedrill - Very deadly counter since it has access to Poison Jab and Sludge Bomb (both Poison-type Moves)
- Mega Gengar - Aside from being a good Sludge Bomb spammer, it can also use Shadow Claw for a powerful STAB against Tapu Bulu.
- Mega Charizard Y - Mega Charizard's Fire Spin and Blast Burn will completely render the legendary Pokemon helpless in combat.
- Mega Pidgeot - This Flying Pokemon can easily win over thanks to Brave Bird and Gust.
