Is Tapu Koko good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Thunder Blast on Tapu Koko (Ascended Heroes), doing 130 for 3 Energy. The bulkiest version is Tapu Koko ex with 200 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. 1 version has free retreat, which makes Tapu Koko easy to switch in and out. Watch out for Fighting attackers — that's its weakness.
