Best Tapu Bulu Counters For Pokemon GO Raids: Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

Tapu Bulu is taking its turn in the Pokemon GO Spotlight following Tapu Koko and Tapu Fini in March. The Grass/Fairy-type Legendary may look tough, but following our guide will make these Pokemon GO Raids an absolute pushover. Here are the best Tapu Bulu Counters in Pokemon GO:

Tapu Bulu Weakness & Type Effectiveness

Being a Grass/Fairy type, Tapu Bulu is extremely vulnerable to Poison-type attacks. And Poison-type Pokemon are resistant to Grass, Fighting, Bug, and Fairy-type moves, which are the only moves Tapu Bulu uses. So, we can’t stress enough how important it is to bring Poison-type Pokemon to these raids.

Pokemon	Type	Vulnerable To	Strong Against	Resistant To
Tapu Bulu	Grass/Fairy	Poison Flying Steel Fire Ice	Water Ground Rock Normal Ice Rock Dark Steel Fighting Dragon Grass Psychic	Water Electric Grass Ground Fighting Dark

While Flying and Fire types are okay choices against Tapu Bulu, you’ll want to stay away from Steel and Ice types. They may hit hard, but they are also hit harder by some of Tapu Bulu’s potential moves. Just to be safe, we recommend Poison-type Pokemon with strong Poison-type moves.

As stated above, Poison Pokemon are the way to go when taking on Tapu Bulu. The list below consists of mainly Poison-type Pokemon, and they are the top 10 creatures you should be using against these 5-star raids.

Seeing as Tapu Bulu is a pretty weak Legendary, we don’t foresee players needing more than two or three trainers to take it down. Just make sure all of your Pokemon are above 3,500 CP and have the necessary moves to deal optimal damage.
