Generation 7
Sun

This guardian deity of Akala is guilelessly cruel. The fragrant aroma of flowers is the source of its energy.

Moon

As it flutters about, it scatters its strangely glowing scales. Touching them is said to restore good health on the spot.

Ultra Sun

It heals the wounds of people and Pokémon by sprinkling them with its sparkling scales. This guardian deity is worshiped on Akala.

Ultra Moon

Although called a guardian deity, Tapu Lele is devoid of guilt about its cruel disposition and can be described as nature incarnate.
