Description

Category: Land Spirit Pokemon
Type: Grass/Fairy
Height: 6'03"
Weight: 100.3 lbs
Ability: Grassy Surge

Tapu Bulu has the power to manipulate vegetation and cause it to grow. It can use this power on its own horns—which are made of wood—changing their shape or making them larger. This can come in handy in battle! This stolid Pokémon is not very active. People’s opinions differ on whether it’s as docile as it seems, or if the reason it doesn’t move much can be chalked up to simple laziness.

Tapu Bulu does not like unnecessary battles or frightening other Pokémon. Because of this, it makes a loud ringing noise with its tail to alert those nearby of its presence. Although Tapu Bulu may not like to start battles, it shows no mercy when dealing with evildoers. It’s said that when thieves once broke into its ruins, it punished them by swinging trees around like massive clubs.

Tapu Bulu can learn Nature’s Madness, an attack that slams a target with all of nature’s rage, which reduces the target’s HP by half.

Tapu Bulu’s Ability is Grassy Surge, an Ability that no Pokémon has previously had. With Grassy Surge, the field will be turned into Grassy Terrain when Tapu Bulu appears in battle, boosting the power of any Grass-type moves used by Pokémon on the ground and restoring a bit of HP to them each turn. It also halves the damage taken from the moves Earthquake, Magnitude, and Bulldoze.

    This one's really the odd man out, literally, being the only masculine Tapu. But I like it's design just fine, more so when it's mask is closed and it resembles a bulls head with its tail being a cowbell. Only thing I dislike is how close that looks to the Chicago Bulls logo, cause I know some idiots are gonna run with the idea that it's intentional.

    Tapu Koko is masculine too. It's based on a rooster.

    Koko and Bulu are the masculine ones, Lele and Fini are the feminine ones.

    I'd say Koko is a bit more ambiguous than masculine, and it feels to me like it's based on a cockatoo, as that's more tropical, and it appears to have an actual crest instead of a comb, it seems more feathery.

    Definitely a rooster. Koko is the Hawaiian for the sound chickens make.

    The Japanese name (Kapu-Kokeko) also references roosters, as kokeko is derived from kokekokkō, which is Japanese for "cock-a-doodle-doo".

    Ah, well I guess I was wrong then, thank you for the clarification. I still feel it's much more ambiguous in body shape than Bulu, which is downright masculine.
