* DeathGlare: The Totem Kommo-o acting as the boss of the Vast Poni Canyon trial stares at the player character throughout the whole thing. While Kommo-o doesn't show itself until the player character reaches the Z-Crystal pedestal, the latter can feel "the fiercest stare imaginable" as they cross the trial area's corridor.

* AxCrazy: In addition to Tapu Koko's BloodKnight and HairTriggerTemper, Tapu Koko can get so worked up from its own anger that it actually forgets what made it so angry in the first place and lashes out at anyone and anything it sees.

* CuriousityIsACrapshoot: Tapu Koko is described as curious in human affairs unlike its fellow Tapus, which can mean it can either end up saving the lives of others (seen in "Sun and Moon" saves the player and Nebby from falling to their deaths) or end up a malevolent deity when its HairTriggerTemper is set off.

* TheGodsMustBeLazy: Outside of occasionally choosing a new Kahuna or [[spoiler:confronting invasive Ultra Beasts]], the Tapus don't really do a lot of protecting of the people on their islands. This is actually justified, as they ''used'' to be more proactive, but after being involved in wars as tools, they all adopted JadeColoredGlasses and their own BlueAndOrangeMorality.



* GuardianEntity: Their Guardian of Alola Z-move summons a massive, headless golem. The Tapu then use their mask forms to become the head and command it to attack their foes.

* GuardianEntity: They are the Guardians of each of Alola's islands, though they are undoubtedly JerkassGods. Their Guardian of Alola Z-move summons a massive, headless golem. The Tapu then use their mask forms to become the head and command it to attack their foes.


Added DiffLines:

* ItCanThink: While the Tapus undoubtedly have BlueAndOrangeMorality with a healthy dose of FreudianExcuse thrown in, it's heavily indicated that the Tapus are sapient and fully aware of the effect they can have on humans and other Pokémon alike, and specifically have a hand in choosing the [[BadassPreacher Kahunas]] of each island in Alola. At the end of ''Sun and Moon'' Tapu Koko even sends out a message to the player through their Z-Ring that says [[spoiler:"IT IS TIME."]]


Added DiffLines:

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The Tapus are revered as deities and guardians and presumably vital to the way of life in Alola, but no one seems to have an issue should the player capture them for their own interests.

* SingleSpecimenSpecies: An aversion, which is atypical among Mythical Pokémon but not unique. Unlike previous Mythical Pokémon, though, Meltan are often seen in swarms of a dozen or more at once, and are explicitly noted in some dex entries to live in groups. However, another dex entry explains that eventually a single strong Meltan will absorb the rest of the group, evolving into the Pokémon known as Melmetal. With enough patience, it is possible to obtain multiple Melmetal, but it takes 400 candies to evolve one Meltan in ''GO''.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Marshadow is as close as Generation VII is going to get to the usual cute Mythical with 100 points in every stat. At the very least, it still has a BST of 600 and is small and cute. Put it side by side with a [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Chao]], and you'd see a surprising level of similarity in shape, facial features and expressions.

So for that purpose, why create a robot with ''arm cannons'', then power it with an artificial soul constructed with the life energy of other Pokémon? Answer: the intended child was a princess, meaning Magearna's status as a lethal toy implies it would also serve as a last line of defense within arm's length of the princess herself.

Spell My Name With An S was disambiguated due to cleanup. Dewicking.


A Fire/Dragon Pokémon based on a Mata Mata, a species of freshwater turtle. It lives in volcanic areas and camouflages itself as a rock and waits for prey. It also feeds on sulfur which makes its shell highly explosive. It has a move called "Shell Trap" that sets up a trap at the beginning of the turn. If hit with a physical move, it causes an explosion that damages the opponent. Just like Honedge in Generation VI with its French and Japanese names, Turtonator is notable for having its German ("[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Tortunator]]") and English names revealed before any of its other localized names. It is exclusive to ''Sun''.
