Overview

Tukai is an offensive Tem with a versatile typing that can hit most opponents for effective damage. This, combined with its high special bulk, allows it to pivot into a lot of special attacks. Tukai uses Shuine's Horn Noxious Bomb to run a powerful physical attacking set that takes advantage of that special defense.

Spreader now sits at 80% of total damage dispersed amongst two targets - here at Tortenite's Garden, we fancy ourselves pretty good at math, and that adds up to 160% of total damage for Aqua Bullet Hell, Sharp Rain, Wind Burst, and Tornado. While Tukai's defensive typing isn't the best, that is a lot of damage, and that sits Tukai at the center of Turbo Choreography + Sparks lineups.

This set is for a fast, high damage Tukai, but you can cut some speed for HP depending on how you plan to support the Tukai on your team. Sparks, Common Factor, Tag Team, Electric Custodian, and Turbo Choreography are all worthy additions to a team that help this Tukai out.

Raignet, Tuwire, and Gazuma are pretty common partners for Tukai as they help with the type chart, amplify its offenses, and swap in to cover it while appreciating damage against earths and crystals.

Tukai combines Shuine's Horn, Noxious Bomb, and Hydrologist to do an incredible amount of physical turn 1 Water damage for a tem with 53 base attack. While the increased presence of Electric tems make it a less reliable damage machine as it was in the Cipanku era, it still has some effective things it can do.

Horn-bomb is your primary offensive technique, with Feather Gatling helping you hit toxics, waters, and natures. Tukai doesn't have that many good physical techniques to add to this - Waterjet deals less damage than Horn-bomb, but you can run it in case you get snared, or want to apply cold. Look Out helps Tukai be of use against sleep control, and Tornado is more powerful than Peck, which you can prefer to run if you want the extra speed and stamina efficiency.

Tuwire and Raignet are great partners for Tukai to help with its 4x weakness, and amplify its damage in Raignet's case with Perfect Jab. Hazrat also helps Tukai out a fair bit with Lava Wave tagging toxics and natures, and Wastewater hitting Natures and Waters, making them a difficult combo to resist.
