Collector Insights

Tapu Bulu is a Grass-type Pokémon with 130 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series under the Battle Styles set, released on March 19, 2021. Its artist is Ryota Murayama, and it carries a Rare Holo rarity with regulation mark E. The card’s flavor text highlights its role as a guardian deity with a violent nature, emphasizing its readiness to confront threats. Tapu Bulu has two attacks: "Push Down" costs a Grass Energy to deal 20 damage and forces the opponent to switch their Active Pokémon with a Benched one. The second attack, "Nature's Judgment," requires two Grass and one Colorless Energy, dealing 80+ damage, with an additional 80 boost if all Energy is discarded. It has no resistances but is weak to Fire, taking double damage from such attacks. The retreat cost is two Colorless Energy, and it is numbered 16 in its set. Its Pokédex number is 787, aligning with its in-game data.

Although it's called a guardian deity, it's violent enough to crush anyone it sees as an enemy.
