Tapu Bulu Raid Guide: Best Counters, CP & Shiny
Raid Boss Profile: Tapu Bulu

Tapu Bulu returns as a Tier 5 Legendary raid boss in Pokémon GO. This Grass/Fairy-type Pokémon serves as the guardian deity of Ula’ula Island in the Alola region. Its unique typing yields a double weakness to Poison, along with vulnerabilities to Fire, Flying, Ice, and Steel attacks. Trainers chasing a Shiny encounter will be pleased to know that the Shiny variant is currently available, making every raid a chance at a rare color variant.

Catch CP and Weather Considerations

Without any weather boost, Tapu Bulu is encountered at Level 20 with a catch CP range of 1870 to 1953. When the weather is either Sunny or Cloudy, the raid boss is boosted to Level 25, raising the catch CP range to 2338–2442. Sun weather not only provides a boost but also benefits Grass-type attacks, while Cloudy weather boosts Fairy-type moves. Weather advantages thus affect both CP and potential IVs of the catch.
