How To Get Shiny Tapu Bulu
As far as getting a shiny Tapu Bulu is concerned, it is not that hard to get one, considering the odds are not as bad as some other Pokemon. While some Pokemon in Pokemon GO can go all the way up to 1 in 512 odds, Tapu Bulu being a legendary Pokemon tips the scales in the favor of players. The odds of getting a shiny Tapu Bulu is only 1 in 20, which is one of the best players can get in Pokemon GO. That being said, with the odds resetting every time, it can still be a bit tricky to get your hands on one. Players usually report they get a shiny within 30 to 40 encounters, but there are no guarantees as such.

Bullet Seed |
Fast Move |
It is a Grass-type move that deals 8 damage and generates 14 energy which can be used for charged-type moves. With a DPS of 7.27 and a pretty high EPS of 12.73 players will be able to use their charged attacks more often while dealing some really good damage at the same time. It is strong against Ground, Water, and Rock-type Pokemon and weak towards Flying, Poison, Bug, Steel, Fire, Grass, and Dragon-type Pokemon. |

Grass Knot |
Charged Move |
It is a Grass-type move that deals 90 damage and costs 50 energy. Considering that Bullet Seed already generates energy pretty fast, and the low requirement of Grass Knot, they can be a really fast combo together. It has a DPS of 34.62, it might not be as effective as the best charged moves in Pokemon GO, but its lower requirement ensures players can use it more often. It shares the same strengths and weaknesses as Bullet Seed. |
