Also, it is worth noting that captured Tapu Lele will have known the Charged Attack Nature Madness during the period.

Whenever a monster appears in raids, you should always look for its weaknesses. Having said that, Tapu Lele is a dual Psychic and Fairy-type Pokemon that is vulnerable to Ghost, Poison, and Steel-type moves. Thus, your counters should know these attacks to defeat the boss.

The more Pokemon GO Tapu Lele raids you can beat, the more encounters you can receive. Therefore, a team’s main priority should be to win as many raids as possible.
