Strategy & play
How Tapu Koko ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
- Inflicts Paralysis — the Defending Pokémon can’t attack or retreat for a turn. A reliable one-turn lock; chain it to stall the opponent out.
- Its main attack (Extreme Current) needs 3 Energy — a turn-3 swing on manual attachment — you’ll want Energy acceleration to power it up on time.
- Hits for 180 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Needs Lightning Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
- Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥105 effectively one-shots it.
How to beat Tapu Koko ex
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥105 damage one-shots it.
- It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.
- On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.
