* Both sets have their members bearing a BST of 570, rather than the 580 that was standard in previous minor legendary trios and quartets.
* Both sets have a SecretArt of their shared typing (Nature\\\'s Madness for the Tapus, Ruination for the Treasures) that deals damage equal to half of the target\\\'s current HP and is classified as a Special attack by the game (thus being countered by Mirror Coat), contrasting with the more widespread Super Fang that does the same thing, but is treated as a physical attack.
* Each member of each quartet also has an Ability unique to themselves (well, \\\'\\\'formerly\\\'\\\' unique in the Tapus\\\' case) that has an effect similar to the Abilities of the other members of their quartet: each of the Tapus sets up a different type of terrain upon entering battle, while each of the Treasures imposes a persistent debuff on one of the stats of each Pokémon other than themselves (including allies) as long as they are present on the battlefield.
