In its closed shell state, Tapu Koko resembles a rooster, Tapu Lele resembles a butterfly, Tapu Bulu resembles a bull, and Tapu Fini resembles a swordfish. When encapsulated in these shells, they are absorbing the energy of nature, with long periods of time causing them to become hard and sturdy. The deities are in this state when they perform their exclusive Z-Move, Guardian of Alola. The attack summons a giant, yellow headless humanoid energy-based entity from the ground. The guardian closes its shell and merges on top of the entity as its head. | ||

According to the legends of [[Alola]], the guardian deities serve as protectors of the island each resides in. They also served as leaders of the armies for each of the island's kings. Using their [[Z-Power]] in these battles would cause great destruction to the islands, and thus they stopped being involved in human affairs. However, they occasionally fight to see who is the strongest amongst themselves, which led to the creation of the [[Battle Royal]] format. The deities will fiercely fight against intruders and harmful bodies in order to protect their islands from invaders, as evidenced by when [[Ultra Beast]] appear in Alola. The tapu not only choose the [[island kahuna|kahuna]] of their respective island, but are also the ones to provide them with [[Sparkling Stone]]s which can then be turned into [[Z-Ring]]s or [[Z-Power Ring]]s. The reason for this is unknown outside the two groups. | |||
