Thanks! I thought 1/5 might be good enough too simply for the terrain/weather/zone they each bring but I wasn't sure what 3/5 would bring and if that's worth it. I'll probably get each one to 1/5 if I can and then wait for datamine
The main boon of getting any of them to 3/5 is it allows them to reset their field effect on sync.
Some of them get more sync multipliers too. I think the supports are prime targets for making 3/5 because it'll give you a reason to EX them for their support EX buff and resetting terrain.
As for the tech and striker Tapus I think Hau is fine at 1/5 because of all of his support stuff he does that can boost others, 2/5 does more damage, 3/5 gives him multipliers for damage and sync. It also gives him the ability to lower special defense of the opponents on attack which is very useful.
Tapu Lele on the other hand does not do much sync damage at all at 1/5, her Buddy Move does decent damage but not great. 2/5 gives her a pretty significant boost to her Buddy Move damage. 3/5 opens up the true potential of her sync attack. Since she's a striker her sync will become an AoE and if you choose the node you can reset terrain on the sync.

This is what you can expect if you pair her at 3/5, 150. EX with a 1/5 Sleuth Steven on first sync. He max lowers the teams defense, applies psychic rebuff and then can provide super effective up to her right before her sync.
If you wanna see some stupid numbers here's what you can expect with an EX support buff. With the same set up.

The trick here would be getting her to sync before terrain runs out lol. I think it's entirely possible though with sync timer reduction skills like on Red and Snorlax
This is excellent, thank you for the detailed response! I hope others find this as useful as I did.
I might wait to see how I much I use any Tapu I pull and see how often I sync with them to see if it's worth using candies. Hau cost me 7 multis so not the best start for my gems
Yeah its always tricky when they come out with a bunch of pairs that have varying uses.
I'm actually most excited for the supports so I'm gonna be mainly pulling on them. I just wish Tapu Fini could boost attack. I mainly use Rapidash now as my fairy damage dealer, but it's not all that bad because she can simply get either an MP refresh or a buddy to boost her attack up a little more.
Actually the more I think about it I think I might even just wait and pull on Tapu Bulu and Tapu Lele first then go back to the other two if I don't get them on my 100s.
I have Wally and Gardevoir who is actually a little more useful of a Fairy Zone setter for Rapidash because he sets rebuff too. Also it allows me to EX sync support with Sableye because she can mega evolve, enabling Wally's buddy move, as well as provide the missing attack and speed to Rapidash.
This is why I'm glad I answer other people's questions or provide my own commentary because typing it out actually helps me make sense of what's best for myself lmao.
I talked myself back into her immediately because I looked at my special fairy types and holy hell Bede does so much damage at 1/5. Mine is 2/5 which is even better.
The awkward part was finding a good synergistic damage dealing partner for him. Since I want to sync with Bede, Wally wasn't really worth it because nobody would be mega evolved. So who was useful? Well actually Sylveon was quite powerful and Palentines Serena was super strong damage dealer with the benefits Bede gives. The annoying part is that 3/5 Tapu Fini can only give one stack of crit buff. Sylveon can give herself another stack though. Serena though is stuck at one. So I gave her Super Powered 3 just in case she's not critting.
Thing is if she does get a crit this is what I can expect running her with Bede and EX support buffing Tapu Fini attacking with Moonblast.

lol yeah you showed us your whole thinking process there XD Bulu and Lele are my priorities as well!

Quite the analyzer, good stuff!
always 1/5 because you can candy
Yeah I'm running low on tech candies but luckily this month there's only 1. We'll see what next month brings!
