Pokemon Go trainers can catch the Alolan guardian deity Tapu Lele to provide a powerful Psychic/Fairy-type option to any team. Still, you’ll need to know its best moveset if you want to get the most out of it in PvP Battles and Raids.

The Guardian Deities are all available to catch in Pokemon Go, but right now, we’re focusing on Tapu Lele.

The Fairy/Psychic-type Legendary made its debut in March 2022, and it will return as a 5-Star Raid boss from March 21, 2024, until April 4, 2024.

Pokemon Go Tapu Lele: Best moveset for PvP

One of the best movesets you can teach Tapu Lele in Pokemon Go is Confusion as a Fast Move combined with Psyshock and Moonblast as Charged Moves.

Confusion outclasses Astonish in nearly every way for Tapu Lele, so it is the clear choice for Fast Moves. Now that we’re on the Psychic-type path, it’s a good idea to go with the STAB-boosted Psyshock, which is a solid Charged Move.

Finally, if you can afford a secondary Charged Move, go with the Fairy-type Moonblast to add some extra coverage to Tapu Lele’s moveset. As an added bonus, this attack will also benefit from STAB.

Pokemon Go Tapu Lele: Best moveset for Raids

Tapu Lele won’t really stand out in many Raids, but it’s still a fairly solid option to bring out in a pinch. For its best Raid or PvE moveset, go with Confusion as a Fast move and Psyshock and Moonblast as Charged Moves.

Alternatively, Future Sight could be switched out for Psyshock in Raids, but it really won’t make too much of a difference overall.
