Tapu Koko's high Speed, typing, and Electric Surge make it an excellent pivot, threatening foes such as Tornadus-T, Pelipper, Slowbro, and Toxapex. U-turn allows Tapu Koko to generate momentum, pivoting on switch-ins such as Ferrothorn, Assault Vest Tangrowth, and Clodsire to safely bring in teammates like Zamazenta and Urshifu-R. Grass Knot hits foes such as Gastrodon, Mega Tyranitar, and Mega Swampert, and it takes advantage of Tera Grass to potentially break Ting-Lu. Alternatively, Dazzling Gleam allows Tapu Koko to OHKO Mega Medicham and Weavile after Stealth Rock, and it dents other foes such as Tera Dragon Toxapex and Garchomp. Hidden Power Ice improves the matchup against Landorus-T and Gliscor while still hitting foes such as Garchomp, Tangrowth, and Dragonite. Tera Grass boosts the power of Grass Knot while granting Tapu Koko key resistances, allowing it to lure foes such as Barraskewda, Floatzel, and Mega Swampert, all while improving its matchup against Rotom-W. Tapu Koko must be careful when using Tera, however, as it becomes unable to safely switch into Tornadus-T once it Terastallizes. Pokemon that utilize Electric Terrain such as Iron Valiant, Iron Hands, and Mega Medicham make for excellent teammates, as it activates Quark Drive for the former two and increases the power of Thunder Punch for the latter, 2HKOing foes such as Gholdengo. Tapu Koko also forms strong pivoting cores with teammates like Tornadus-T and Mega Lopunny, which take advantage of its checks such as Ferrothorn and Clodsire to generate momentum. Wallbreakers such as Weavile, Urshifu-R, and Zamazenta also appreciate Tapu Koko letting them switch in against its checks for free, such as Assault Vest Tangrowth. In return, they beat foes such as the aforementioned Tangrowth, Clodsire and Ferrothorn.

Tapu Koko's high speed, typing, and Electric Surge ability make it an excellent offensive pivot, threatening foes such as Tornadus-T, Pelipper, Slowbro, and Toxapex. U-turn allows Tapu Koko to generate momentum by pivoting on switch ins such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Clodsire to grant safe entry to teammates such as Zamazenta and Urshifu-R who can use them as an entryway to use their strong attacks smoke them we dont rly use slang in smoke. Grass Knot hits foes such as Gastrodon, Mega Tyranitar, and Mega Swampert and takes advantage of a power boost from Tera Grass to potentially break Ting-Lu after chip damage. Alternatively, Dazzling Gleam allows Tapu Koko to OHKO Mega Medicham and Weavile after Stealth Rocks Rock and hit foes such as Tera Dragon Toxapex and Garchomp while Hidden Power Ice improves the matchup against Landorus-T and Gliscor while still hitting foes such as Garchomp, physically defensive Tangrowth, and Dragonite. Tera Grass boosts the power of Grass Knot while granting key resistances, allowing Tapu Koko to lure foes such as Barraskewda, Floatzel, and Mega Swampert while improving its matchup against foes such as Rotom-W. Tapu Koko must be careful when using Tera however as it becomes unable to switch into Tornadus-T upon activating it. Pokemon that take advantage of Electric Terrain such as Iron Valiant, Mega Medicham, and Iron Hands make for excellent teammates. Terrain Extender is an alternative option to grant more Electric Terrain turns for teammates to take advantage of Electrium Z is an alternative that boosts Thunderbolt, allowing Tapu Koko to break through defensive Pokemon such as Gholdengo, Rotom-W, and Mega Scizor more efficently, however the loss of entry hazard immunity hinders Tapu Koko's pivoting ability terrain extender isnt rly used afaik, would much rather mention Z here, it has a lot more merit, also maybe consider moving this sentence to after finishing tera explanation. Tapu Koko also forms a strong pivoting core with teammates such as Tornadus-T and Mega Lopunny who can take advantage of each others checks , such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Clodsire to generate momentum. Wallbreakers such as Dragapult Weavile pult doenst rly beat any of the mons u mentioned, Urshifu-R and Zamazenta also appreciate Tapu Koko granting them free switch ins, in return they can beat foes such as Ferrothorn, Clodsire and, Garganacl.

Tapu Koko's high speed, typing, and Electric Surge ability make it an excellent offensive pivot, threatening foes such as Tornadus-T, Pelipper, Slowbro, and Toxapex. U-turn allows Tapu Koko to generate momentum by pivoting on switch ins such as Ferrothorn, Heatran heatran isnt a great koko switch in tbh so i wld change all heatran's mention, and Clodsire to grant safe entry to teammates such as Zamazenta and Urshifu-R who can use them as an entryway to use their strong attacks bring safely teammates like Zamazenta and Urshifu-R that can take advantage of Tapu Koko's checks. Grass Knot hits foes such as Gastrodon, Mega Tyranitar, and Mega Swampert and takes advantage of a power boost from Tera Grass to potentially break Ting-Lu after chip damage. Alternatively, Dazzling Gleam allows Tapu Koko to OHKO Mega Medicham and Weavile after Stealth Rock and hit foes such as Tera Dragon Toxapex and Garchomp while Hidden Power Ice improves the matchup against Landorus-T and Gliscor while still hitting foes such as Garchomp, physically defensive Tangrowth, and Dragonite.

Tapu Koko must be careful when using Tera however as it becomes unable to switch into Tornadus-T upon activating it. Electrium Z is an alternative that boosts Thunderbolt, allowing Tapu Koko to break through defensive Pokemon such as Gholdengo, Rotom-W, and Mega Scizor more efficently, however the loss of entry hazard immunity hinders Tapu Koko's pivoting ability tbh z moves on koko are just bad rn, esp without a setup move, and u p much lose to mscizor. Pokemon that take advantage of Electric Terrain such as Iron Valiant, Mega Medicham, and Iron Hands make for excellent teammates mention how. Tapu Koko also forms a strong pivoting core with teammates such as Tornadus-T and Mega Lopunny who which can take advantage of each others its checks, such as Ferrothorn, Heatran, and Clodsire to generate momentum makes more sense like that. Wallbreakers such as Weavile, Urshifu-R and Zamazenta also appreciate Tapu Koko granting them free switch ins on who?, in return they can beat foes such as Ferrothorn, (rc) and Clodsire and, Garganacl.
