Tapu Lele Raid Guide

Artwork of Tapu Lele from Pokémon GO 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.

Tapu Lele can be shiny, and its colour scheme becomes inverted!

Regular Tapu Lele Shiny Tapu Lele
Tapu Lele is a vaguely butterfly-like Legendary Pokémon. Tapu Lele has a black upper body and head with a few small white markings. Its eyes are blue with a pink line through the middle of each iris. Below each eye is a curved white line and above each is a curved pink line separated into three segments. On its upper body is another, thicker curved white line. Its thin arms have digitless hands and puffy pink bracelets on each wrist. On top of its head is a mass of dark pink, tentacle-like hair. Two longer strands of hair frame its face. Encasing its dark pink lower body and on top of its head is a shell resembling an insect. Tapu Lele's shell is primarily light pink. The portion on top of its head is conical with a white diamond marking in the center and a white half-diamond marking below that. Both diamond shapes are framed in black. The shell around its lower body mirrors these diamond markings and has an additional half-diamond on the back. On each side is a hexagon marking consisting of five dark pink triangles and one light pink triangle all outlined in black. These resemble the compound eyes of many insects. There are also projections on the back of the shell that resemble butterfly wings and a small black bump on the bottom similar to a curled proboscis. When closed, the shell resembles a bug's head with small wings. Shiny Tapu Lele's shell is black with white diamond shapes, its body is also black. Its hair is a pale pink.

 

All the best, trainers!
