Tapu Koko is a dual-type Electric and Fairy-type Pokémon with the following stats:

• Raid CP: 45438 – 55650
• Attack: 250
• Defense: 181
• Stamina: 172

As you can see, Tapu Koko will hit very hard with moves like Volt Switch and Dazzling Gleam, two of its best moves. Don’t bring any Pokémon that are weak to Electric or Fairy-type moves, as they’ll be punished hard.

The best counters for Tapu Koko include Pokémon that can attack with Ground or Poison-type moves. Ground-type Pokémon are especially powerful here, as they completely nullify any Electric-type attacks made against them.

If you need some ideas on building a proper team, here are some powerful counters against Tapu Koko:

• Nihilego
• Therian Landorus
• Excadrill
• Mamoswine
• Garchomp
• Rhyperior
• Groudon
• Roserade
• Landorus
• Incarnate Landorus
• Gengar
• Krookodile
• Rhydon
• Golurk

These Pokémon are capable are learning Ground and Poison-type moves, and they’re also at least partly Ground-type themselves, which renders them invulnerable to Tapu Koko’s Electric-type moves.

As long as you have a team full of the proper types of Pokémon, you should be set up for victory. Just get their CP up, and you’ll be ready to face off against Tapu Koko.
