Favourite Guardian Deity!
 



I am genuinely surprised that a thread about the Guardian Dieties has yet to be created...let's fix that shall we with a nice pretty thread with colourful pictures :)

Above, we have the four Guardian Deities of Alola, Tapu Koko of Melemele Island, Tapu Lele of Akala Island, Tapu Bulu of Ula'ula Island and Tapu Fini of Poni Island. Each one differs in appearance and stats, as well as bringing their own unique terrain to the field when they are called into battle!

The question is simple; Of the four, which is your favourite? This could be down to how competitive it is, the benefits it gives, which one looks the coolest, whatever you think makes it the best!

For me, Tapu Koko...life debt at the start of the game and I think it's got the coolest battle cry of all of them :)

Tapu Lele. Tapu Fini is a close second, but I prefer cute pokemon :3

If I'm being honest, the Tapus have become my favorite set of legendary Pokemon. Not only are they all extremely useful, but what really hooked me is their design and mysterious cool factor. Picking my favorite would be like choosing my favorite child. I have a favorite, but it's only by a hair and I would never tell the other kids.

With that being said, I'd say Tapu Koko, with Tapu Fini being a very close second, and Bulu and Lele barely trailing as a tie for third.

Cariad December 29th, 2016 2:49 PM

usually i'd be more inclined to tapu lele because wow, so pink and adorable, but i think tapu fini might actually be my favourite! it's typing is particularly cute and imo, it has the most interesting design. i like them all though - really interesting legendary pokemon concept!

I think all the Tapus have brilliant designs and there isn't one I dislike tbh. Ranking in them in some sort of order would be:

Tapu Fini > Tapu Bulu > Tapu Koko > Tapu Lele.

Tapu Koko is the coolest-looking. It's like a rooster-mohawk Sigilyph on Red Bull.

I'm not really too sold on the others, to be honest, but I'll likely get used to them if I'm forced to use them competitively. I will admit though, Tapu Rupee-Jar is cute.

I like Tapu Lele since it has Psychic Surge and it powers up Psychic. It also stops those annoying speed priority moves.

Florges December 29th, 2016 6:31 PM

I haven't used any of the Tapus... but I love Tapu Lele's design. Same with Tapu Fini.

Pepperton December 29th, 2016 7:40 PM

tapu lele is incredibly good and is adorable. easy choice. koko is second, the other two are still dope though

Hikamaru December 29th, 2016 7:40 PM

I'm with Team Fini as well. I feel Tapu Fini's the most beautiful-looking of the four and it has two of my fave types, which I definitely can't say no to.

Abby December 29th, 2016 7:50 PM

The Mediterranean one is my favourite Diety

In terms of competitive, it'd be:
Tapu Bulu>Tapu Lele>Tapu Koko>Tapu Fini

In terms of design:
Tapu Lele>Tapu fini>Tapu Bulu>Tapu Koko

So overall
Tapu Lele>Tapu Bulu> Tapu Fini>Tapu Koko

Kameken December 29th, 2016 8:06 PM

Because mermaids and marlins are both cool, I like Fini the best. I like the look of its claws, its poofy sleeves, and its long hair fins.
Koko's a close second, because you can tell by looking at it that it's got a good fighting spirit. Also its eyes are nice looking, blue with orange highlights. They all have highlight in their colors, but blue and orange are complementary, so it works best.
Lele's cute, but it was annoyingly hard to catch for me in Moon, and it's a little boring to look at, so it's third.
Don't care much for Bulu. I don't dislike it, but it just kind of doesn't stand out for me.

Somewhere_ December 29th, 2016 9:05 PM

I think the game wanted us to like Tapu Koko the most and feel the most attached to this deity because it saved us and it had the largest role of the deities in the game. And it looks like I "fell" for it. xD

Its my favorite in terms of design, typing, and power!

jeon74 December 30th, 2016 10:17 PM

I personally think Tapu Koko is the best out of all of them because he was introduced early in the game in a great way. It reminded me of when (people who watch the anime probably thought this too) Ash saw Ho-Oh at the beginning of episode one. I have to admit that Tapu Bulu looks pretty cool too.

stzy December 30th, 2016 11:05 PM

I like Tapu Fini. I can't put my finger on why, I just feel more strongly towards that one. Was the hardest for me to catch so that might be why.

Denrew December 30th, 2016 11:43 PM

Tapu Lele, since I'm a Psychic lover.

Adam Levine December 31st, 2016 12:06 AM

Tapu Lele is my definite favorite, Tapu Bulu being second. The other two are still great, though.

Pinkie-Dawn January 7th, 2017 11:04 AM

Tap Lel is my favorite Guardian Deity, and I'm so happy that it's currently the second most used Pokémon in the meta.

smocks January 7th, 2017 11:14 AM

Got to go with Tapu Fini! love it's design & typing Water/Fairy is amazingggggggggggg

Somewhere_ January 7th, 2017 11:53 AM

Why isn't Tapu Bulu getting any love?

Owlet January 7th, 2017 4:22 PM

I think my order of favourites goes: Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele first, then Tapu Bulu, then Tapu Koko. I just like the colours/designs more for the others, but Tapu Koko is still good - they're a nice selection of legendaries!

I guess people don't like its design as good as the others - Koko gets love for being the one that saves you (and you know how much heroics get attention) while Lele and Fini are just mainly cute and majestic.

Kirito January 7th, 2017 10:38 PM

My favorite is the either the almighty Topu Keko or Tapu Fini

Thats true, but while Tapu Bulu isn't cute, I thought it has a cool design. I guess people dont like trudging through the desert or something.

I do feel the fact you have to travel through Haina Desert to reach the Ruins Of Abundance is why people also seem to not like Bulu. Doesn't help said desert is confusing to begin with.
