Verdict

Situational
Tapu_bulu is a solid but not elite Fairy-type attacker, sitting at Tier B (#10) in raid performance. With a max CP of 3,865 and base stats of 249/215/172, it can fill a role on your team if you lack stronger Fairy-type counters. The best moveset is Bullet Seed paired with Natures Madness. Consider investing if you need a Fairy-type attacker now, but hold off on XL Candy investment as better alternatives exist. A useful stepping stone rather than an endgame pick.
