Fast moves
- Bullet Seed (Grass-type) – 5 damage and 4.3 energy per turn (1.6 damage per turn) – 3 turns
- Rock Smash (Fighting-type) – 9 damage and 2.5 energy per turn (4 damage per turn) – 2 turns

When selecting Tapu Bulu’s fast move, you want to go with bullet seed. Although bullet seed does not do as much damage as rock smash, it provides far more energy per turn, and Tapu Bulu will receive a same attack type bonus (STAB) each time it uses this move.
You have a handful of good choices for Tapu Bulu’s charged moves. The two best options include grass knot and megahorn. Grass knot is a solid Grass-type move, and you only need 50 energy to use it. Megahorn is another powerful charged move that only requires 55 energy and does 110 damage, 20 more than grass knot. However, Tapu Bulu does not receive a STAB for this. Some players may consider swapping out dazzling gleam for megahorn, especially if they want to counter Dragon-type Pokémon.
The best moveset to teach Tapu Bulu is the fast move bullet seed and the charged moves grass knot and megahorn.
