The legendary guardian of Akala Island, Tapu Lele, has descended upon Pokemon GO, swirling through Five-Star Raid Battles like a psychic hurricane. But fear not, intrepid adventurers, for with the right battle plan and a sprinkle of luck, you can snag this mythical Pokemon for your collection.
Best Counter Pokemon
Before charging into battle, assemble your dream team. Steel-type titans like the three below will stand firm against Tapu Lele’s psychic onslaught. Don’t underestimate the power of Poison-type powerhouses like Gengar and Muk either – their potent toxins can put the brakes on this mystical guardian.

Recommended Poke Ball
Stock up on Premier Balls by spinning PokéStops, conquering Gyms, and completing daily challenges. Remember, Golden Razz Berries are your secret weapon – using one before a throw can significantly boost your catch rate.
Raid Tips
- During the Raid Battle, stay sharp! Watch Tapu Lele’s attack patterns like a hawk, dodging its moves with precision to minimize damage and maximize your attack opportunities.
- Remember, communication is key: coordinate with fellow trainers, unleashing a symphony of super-effective attacks to topple Tapu Lele swiftly.
Capturing Tapu Lele
The real challenge begins when the legendary Pokemon falls: capturing Tapu Lele. Patience is paramount, Trainers! Wait for Tapu Lele’s attack animation to finish and for the target ring to reappear before attempting a throw. Aim for a Nice, Great, or Excellent Throw for a significant catch rate boost.
Additional Trainer Tips:
- Feeling the Throw Blues? A Nanab Berry can be your saving grace. It calms Tapu Lele, making its movements less erratic and improving your throwing accuracy.
- Weather the Elements: Look for Raids occurring during Windy or Cloudy weather. These conditions power up Steel-type attacks, giving your team an edge against the psychic guardian.
