Hey there, Trainers!
Tapu Lele is coming to the tier 5raid rotationsoon. It will be available fromThursday, March 21st, 2024, at 10:00 am local time to Thursday, August 18, 2025, at 10:00 am local time.
You can catch Tapu Lele at the followingCP ranges:
Tapu Lele will be available in both shiny and normal variations! Here is what it looks like:
Tapu Lele is aPsychic and Fairy-TypePokémon, which gives it weakness toSteel, Ghost, and Poison-type moves.This gives us a bunch of Pokémon that we can work with, thankfully! However, some of these Pokémon are difficult to catch at earlier levels, so newer trainers may not have all of the Pokémon that are best against Tapu Lele.
Tapu Lele will be weather boosted byWindy and Cloudyweather conditions. It will be stronger if you encounter it during these conditions, and will be higher level when you catch it. However, given that these conditions may also come with actual risks to your person, be wise when you decide to go out or not. It may be worth it to stay in and remote raid instead.
Tapu Lele is not currently duo-able, however the amount of Trainers you should need to defeat it won’t be too many. With great counters, you’re able to get away with 3-4 Trainers in a raid team and reliably take Tapu Lele down. If you don’t have amazing counters in general, consider taking between 6-8 Trainers, just so that you can consistently bring it down and catch it. The more people you get, the faster these raids will go by. Remember, take advantage of the buffs you get from Party Play! It’s free damage, if you’re all together anyway.
Recommended Party
As ever, if you have Shadow variations of the Pokémon listed below, they will be better picks over their normal counterparts.Shadow Pokémon do more damagethan their regular counterparts (even with mediocre IVs), so consider taking them for this raid for the extra damage.
