What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), if this Pokémon is on your Bench, you may choose 2 of your Benched Pokémon and attach a Lightning Energy card from your discard pile to each of them. If you do, discard all cards from this Pokémon and put it in the Lost Zone.
◇ (Prism Star) Rule: You can't have more than 1 ◇ card with the same name in your deck. If a ◇ card would go to the discard pile, put it in the Lost Zone instead.
It confuses its enemies by flying too quickly for the eye to follow. It has a hair-trigger temper but forgets what made it angry an instant later.

Where it came from
Released in the 2019 Team Up expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, Tapu Koko ◇ is part of the unique Prism Star series. These cards were introduced to represent legendary or mythical Pokémon with potent abilities, limited by the rule that players could only include one copy of a specific Prism Star card in their deck. This card, designed by artist Kouki Saitou, utilizes the holographic foil characteristic of the Prism Star set to emphasize the electric-type deity’s connection to its elemental roots.
The design draws inspiration from the Alola region's guardian deity, portraying Tapu Koko in its signature protective stance. Saitou's illustration aims to capture the intensity of the character’s electric discharge, a hallmark of the Prism Star aesthetic that prioritized vibrant, high-energy visuals. Upon its debut, the card was received favorably by competitive players due to its specific ability, Dazzling Self, which provided utility in managing damage counters, solidifying its role as a strategic tool during the Team Up meta.
