Trainers, Tapu Bulu will soon enterPokémon GO’s5-star raid rotation. It will be available globally starting Friday, July 07, 2025 at 10:00 AM Local Time.
You can catch Tapu Bulu at the followingCP ranges:
Tapu Bulu will be available in both shiny and normal variations! Here is what it looks like:
Tapu Bulu is an interesting blend of types. It is aGrass and Fairy-typePokémon which, luckily for us, gives us a ton of types to work with in terms of counters. Tapu Bulu is weak to the following types:
We will want to emphasize ourPoisontypes as much as possible, as Tapu Bulu takes twice the damage from it than any of its other weaknesses.
Tapu Bulu will be weather boosted bySunny or Cloudyweather conditions. It will be stronger if you encounter it during these conditions, and will be higher level when you catch it. However, given that these conditions may also come with actual risks to your person, be wise when you decide to go out or not. It may be worth it to stay in and remote raid instead.
Tapu Bulu a is not currently duo-able, however the amount of Trainers you should need to defeat it won’t be too many. With great counters, you may get away with 3-5 Trainers in a raid team and reliably take it down. If you don’t have amazing counters in general, consider taking between 6-8 Trainers, just so that you can consistently bring it down and catch it. The more people you get, the faster these raids will go by. Remember, take advantage of the buffs you get from Party Play! It’s free damage, if you’re all together anyway.
Recommended Party
As ever, if you have Shadow variations of the Pokémon listed below, they will be better picks over their normal counterparts.Shadow Pokémon do more damagethan their regular counterparts (even with mediocre IVs), so consider taking them for this raid for the extra damage.
