The guardian deities (Japanese: guardian deity), also called the tapu (Japanese: カプ kapu), are Pokémon in the Alola region who protect the islands where they live. Each of the four main islands in Alola has a guardian deity: Tapu Koko on Melemele Island, Tapu Lele on Akala Island, Tapu Bulu on Ula'ula Island, and Tapu Fini on Poni Island. The Island Kahunas are each chosen by their island's guardian deity.

The guardian deities share the Z-Move Guardian of Alola.
