Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Sun | This guardian deity of Akala is guilelessly cruel. The fragrant aroma of flowers is the source of its energy. |
| Moon | As it flutters about, it scatters its strangely glowing scales. Touching them is said to restore good health on the spot. |
| Ultra Sun | It heals the wounds of people and Pokémon by sprinkling them with its sparkling scales. This guardian deity is worshiped on Akala. |
| Ultra Moon | Although called a guardian deity, Tapu Lele is devoid of guilt about its cruel disposition and can be described as nature incarnate. |

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
