The Pokemon Company and Nintendo are releasing a specialShiny version of Tapu Kokotoday, available for allPokemon SunandPokemon Moonplayers. The Electric/Fairy Legendary Pokemon may be better known toPokemon SunandMoonplayers as the guardian deity of Melemele island, the island where trainers start their journey. But now Tapu Koko can be every player’s personal guardian deity, so long as they are able to connect to the Nintendo Network.
Tapu Koko’s release is part of the upcoming launch of the nextPokemon TCGexpansion,Guardians Rising. The Legendary Pokemon has been chosen to be the mascot for the card game’s expansion, featured prominently on its Booster Pack art as well as on its own Tapu Koko Figure Collection – including an exclusive foil promo card.Pokemon SunandMoonplayers will likely be happy with the Shiny Tapu Koko whether they’re fans of thePokemon TCGor not.
Pokemon SunandMoonplayers who would like to have their own Shiny Tapu Koko hopefully know the routine by now, but if not, Nintendo has provided a handy step-by-step guide. There’s no code required, unlike otherpromotional event Pokemon, as Tapu Koko is delivered via Nintendo Network’s Mystery Gift functionality. Here are the steps to follow:
Everyone’s Shiny Tapu Koko will be exactly the same. It will be level 60, have the Electric Surge ability, and be holding an Electric Seed which increases its defense. Its move-set will have the skills Nature’s Madness, Discharge, Agility, and Electro Ball.
Tapu Koko will also have some fantastic Z-Crystal abilities. Holding Tapunium Z converts Nature’s Madness into the Guardian of Alola attack, while Electrium Z unlocks the 160-base damage attack, Gigavolt Havoc.
ensure to pick up your Nintendo 3DS and receive Shiny Tapu Koko soon, because this is a limited time event.Pokemon SunandMoonplayerswill have until August 14 to make the Pokemon their own, but after that Tapu Koko will once again become an Alolan fable.
