Pokemon Go Tapu Bulu best PvP moveset

For PvP battles, Tapu Bulu’s best moveset is Bullet Seed as its Fast Move along with Grass Knot and Nature’s Madness as its Charged Moves.

Bullet Seed is Tapu Bulu’s lone STAB Fast Move making it the only viable option while Grass Knot provides more DPS than Solar Beam, so it is the preferred Grass type Charged Move.

Tapu Bulu’s signature move Nature’s Madness is a great Fairy-type attack that not only benefits from STAB but also offers coverage against Fighting, Dragon, and Dark-type Pokemon. This combination lets Tapu Bulu deal super effective damage against six different types which makes it incredibly versatile.

The only other option worth considering is Megahorn which provides coverage against Dark, Grass, and Psychic type Pokemon. Though Megahorn is typically worse than Nature’s Madness, it may be worth considering if the current PvP meta favors these types.

Pokemon Go Tapu Bulu best Raid moveset

The best moveset in Raid battles to use on Tapu Bulu is Bullet Seed as a Fast Move and Grass Knot as a Charged Move.

Tapu Bulu’s best role in PvE is as a Grass-type Attacker who deals excellent damage and ranks amongst the best in Pokemon Go. Though it falls short of powerhouses like Kartana and Zarude, Tapu Bulu is still a great option against any Raid boss weak to Grass-type attacks.
