Tapu Lele
Tapu Lele is a Tier 5 Legendary Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. As a dual Psychic/Fairy type, it is weak to Ghost, Poison, and Steel types, while resisting Psychic, Dragon, and Fighting types.
It can be shiny, if you’re lucky!
Tapu Lele can be caught in the following CP ranges:
- 1912 – 1996 CP, for a regular Level 20 encounter
- 2390 – 2496 CP, for a Windy or Cloudy weather boosted encounter (Level 25)
Tapu Lele duo is possible, but it would require maxed-out counters, as well as Best Friend Bonus, Windy or Cloudy weather Boost, and a good amount of luck. We suggest you take on Tapu Lele in groups of 4-6 for high-level players, or 7-20 for lower-level players.
