==Biography==
Tapu Lele first appeared when it floated in the sky above Treasure Island. It used its powers to heal Ash's hands after he saved a Wimpod from being trapped in a cave.SM020: Partner Promises!
It reappeared again when Island Kahuna, Olivia, explained about Tapu Lele's legend on Akala Island.SM031: The Island Whisperer!
It reappeared again when it used its powers to heal Rockruff after Ash won the Akala Grand Trial.SM036: Trials and Determinations!
Tapu Lele appeared again when it saw Ash's Rockruff training by itself to control its aggression. Tapu Lele approached Rockruff and initiated a battle by spreading its Psychic Terrain, to which Rockruff hesitantly engaged. Rockruff was quickly and decisively defeated as Tapu Lele relentlessly launched attacks, seemingly enjoying the fight. The next day, Tapu Lele healed an injured Yungoos. It eventually met up with Olivia's Midday Lycanroc and Gladion's Midnight Lycanroc, who was carrying an injured Rockruff they saved from the river, having been exhausted by the battle the night before. Tapu Lele realized it was the same Rockruff it had battled with the previous night and attempted to approach. Just as Tapu Lele was going to heal Rockruff, Ash ran up to protect it, thinking it was going to hurt Rockruff. However, Tapu Lele used Draining Kiss on Ash and the two Lycanrocs, which caused them to lose consciousness. Tapu Lele then proceeded to heal Rockruff as well as Ash and the two Lycanrocs. Once everyone is healed, Rockruff caught a glimpse of the sunset and started howling, evolving into a Dusk Form Lycanroc in the process. Tapu Lele was very happy that everything is resolved and flies off into the sky.SM037: Rising From the Ruins!
Sometime later, Tapu Lele sensed the birth of a young Cosmog named Nebby.SM044: A Dream Encounter!
Tapu Lele reappeared at the Altar of the Sunne on Poni Island with Tapu Koko, Tapu Bulu, and Tapu Fini.SM051: Family Determination! It revealed to Ash and the gang that they were the ones who brought Nebby to Melemele Island where Ash can find it and take care of it. After Ash told them about Nebby's motionless evolved form, Tapu Fini and Tapu Lele perform a ritual around Nebby. With the ritual complete after a few minutes, the Altar of the Sunne activated itself and Nebby evolved into Solgaleo. The Tapu Guardians then gave Ash the Solganium Z, but the only problem is that it won't fit on his Z-Ring. Tapu Koko resolves the problem by taking the Z-Ring, and through a special dance, it and the other Tapu Guardians upgraded it into a Z-Power Ring. It then watched as Ash and Nebby performed the Z-Move, Searing Sunraze Smash, and enter the Ultra Wormhole to rescue Lusamine from Ultra Deep Sea. After that, the Tapu Guardians went back to their respective islands.SM052: Revealing the Stuff of Legend!

After hearing about Kiawe's dilemma, Tapu Lele agreed to battle with Kiawe with his Charizard. Despite Tapu Lele gaining the upper hand, Kiawe and Charizard managed to deliver a blow to it with Aerial Ace. Impressed, Tapu Lele called off the battle and gave Kiawe some of its scales.SM107: Run, Heroes, Run!
