Tapu Lele's shell is primarily light pink. The portion on top of its head is conical with a white diamond marking in the center and a white half-diamond marking below that. Both diamond shapes are framed with black. The shell around its lower body mirrors these diamond markings and has an additional half-diamond on the back. On each side is a hexagon marking consisting of five dark pink triangles and one light pink triangle all outlined in black. These resemble the {{wp|compound eye}}s of many insects. There are also projections on the back of the shell that resemble butterfly wings and a small black bump on the bottom similar to a curled {{wp|proboscis}}. When closed, the shell resembles a bug's head with small wings. | Tapu Lele's shell is primarily light pink.

This guardian of [[Akala Island]] is known to scatter glowing scales, which affect others by stimulating and healing their bodies; however, these scales are also dangerous if too many are touched at once. Some consider it to be cruel for the way it destroys others as it scatters its scales for its own amusement. An old legend says that Tapu Lele ended a war between [[Alola]]'s islands by healing the tired warriors with its scales, but rumors point to a more disturbing truth behind this story. Its strength comes from the energy stored within its shell. If Tapu Lele finds itself at a disadvantage in battle, it will prioritize not outright losing as opposed to trying for a decisive victory.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/tapu-lele Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Tapu Lele]</ref> It is said to gain energy from the scent of flowers. As seen in the [[SM052|anime]], Tapu Lele and the other Tapus can transform a [[Z-Ring]] into a Z-Power Ring. | The people of Akala Island worship Tapu Lele. This guardian of [[Akala Island]] is known to scatter glowing scales, which affect others by stimulating and healing their bodies; however, these scales are also dangerous if too many are touched at once. Some consider it to be guilelessly cruel for the way it destroys others as it scatters its scales for its own amusement. This has resulted in Tapu Lele being described as an incarnation of nature, the reason being it does not feel remorse for its cruel actions.
