Thanks for providing the short analysis on these prospect Pokémon considering they've seen significant use from previous formats. While we don't know much about the guardian deity Pokémon, but have the strong feeling these Pokémon will heavily influence the VGC 17 format with their terrain setting abilities. Even what I consider the weakest of the four in Tapu Bulu can reduce the effectiveness of Earthquake, one of the most staple spread attacks in VGC. Status moves might be even harder to inflict given now give Tapu Koko and Fini are going to be prevelant in the meta and their terrain field effects.
That said, could see things like Gengar, Metagross, Arcanine, etc might see some significant usage to counter act these part Fairy types. Gengar is particular has the potential to be an offensive check to the Tapus, though not sure how it will fair against other things.
