Tapu Koko (Japanese: カプ・コケコ Kapu-Kokeko) is a recurring Pokémon character in the anime that first appeared in Alola to New Adventure!.

History

Tapu Koko first appeared in Alola to New Adventure!, where it dropped a couple of Sitrus Berries on a wild Bewear, which ended up chasing after Ash and his Pikachu. Ash saw it later in the episode, but he wasn't sure what it was, until he described it to Professor Kukui and his classmates, and they told him what the Pokémon he saw was. Near the end of the episode, Ash heard some cries, which lead to himself meeting this Pokémon in person, leading to it giving Ash a Z-Ring, equiped with an Electrium-Z.

In the following episode, Tapu Koko came across Ash and his friends as they were enjoying lunch, and it stole Ash's hat. It flew off to a nearby forest, where it awaited for Ash to battle it. After a couple of attacks, Tapu Koko came up to Ash and activated his Electrium-Z, leading Ash to command his Pikachu to use its first Z-Move, Gigavolt Havoc on Tapu Koko. Despite the attack creating a big explosion, Tapu Koko did not receive a scratch, due to it protecting itself with its armour. After that, Tapu Koko flew off, and with that, ended its battle with him.

Tapu Koko reappeared in SM009, where Hala informed Ash about the Tapu Koko that he met earlier and later in the episode, watched Ash's battle against a Yungoos, a Gumshoos and a Totem Gumshoos in Verdant Cavern.

In the following episode, Tapu Koko stole the Fightium-Z, which Hala was about to give Ash for defeating him in the Island challenge, and replaced it with an Electrium-Z, much to Ash and Hala's surprise.

Personality and characteristics

Tapu Koko seems to be a playful Pokémon, due to the fact that it stole the Fightium Z that Hala was going to give to Ash and because it wants to challenge Ash. So much so that it stole Ash's hat, in order for Ash to follow and battle it.
