If you are getting ready for a battle with Tapu Koko, we’ll walk you through the best counters and all of its weaknesses in this guide!
Tapu Koko Weaknesses
Tapu Koko is an Electric and Fairy-type Pokemon, which means Tapu Koko is weak to Ground and Poison-type moves. You will want to bring a team full of Pokemon who can utilize those move types to take down Tapu Koko quickly!
If you are running out of Pokemon to throw at Tapu Koko, you will just want to make sure to avoid bringing any Pokemon that have Dragon, Bug, Dark, Electric, Fighting, and Flying-type moves. Tapu Koko is resistant to all of these, particularly Dragon.
Ground Pokemon are going to be the best option due to their heavy resistance to Electric-type moves.
