In-Depth Analysis
Tapu Bulu's 570 base stat total marks it as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Attack (130) carries most matchups, but a low HP stat of 70 means careful positioning matters.
Defensively, the Grass, Fairy combination gives Tapu Bulu 6 resistances, 1 immunity, and 5 weaknesses to plan around. Watch out for Poison moves in particular — they land for 4× damage. Offensively it pressures 6 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 3 makes Tapu Bulu a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Slow experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +3 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
