Tapu Bulu

Grassy Terrain is an alternative playstyle that Tapu Bulu supports thanks to its ability Grassy Surge. The strategy revolves around Tapu Bulu setting Grassy Terrain and the switching into Flying-type or Levitate teammates immune to the healing effects in the hopes that the opponent's Pokemon aren't immune themselves. This can make opposing Pokemon much less efficient at KOing themselves with the added recovery, while teammates like Charizard, Xatu, Skarmory, and Azelf are still just as efficient. This strategy is still tough to pull off considering Tapu Bulu is extremely inefficient at KOing itself and only has Taunt and Whirlwind at a poor Speed for support. It's also very bulky and strong, making it Taunt fodder and not the best Steel Beam sack despite its Steel-type weakness.
